I recently purchased a 2024 Topps Ryan Jeffers #344 card from Pete Lane via Facebook. It arrived today and helps me with the 2024 Twins team set!
Flipped Over!
Dan Gladden has not signed the Sports Illustrated magazine where he collided with Greg Olson in the 1991 World Series for a while. Years ago he was at an appearance and Cami had a photo of the collision and he personalized it to her and had a really cool inscription. I was waiting for a private signing with Dan so I would not have to deal with an inscription or anything else like that. I saw that Guy Puglia had a signing with Dan so I sent in the magazine that I had Greg sign just a couple months ago and received it back today signed by Dan. He signed his name and included #32!
From Prospects to Superstars
If you have following along with my collecting journey you have heard about Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) many times. Chris gets me autographs like crazy out in the Washington DC area and takes care of my items as his own.
Today I received a nice box of items from him he got signed since my last box of items he sent me. These all look awesome and I love following along with these guys as they progress through the minor leagues up to become Major Leaguers.
The package today included:
Carson Spiers OMLB
Seaver King OMLB
Franklin Arias OMLB
Rece Hinds OMLB
Chase Dollander OMLB
Sterlin Thompson OMLB
Cooper Pratt OMLB
Yophery Rodriguez OMLB
Patrick Reilly OMLB
Caleb Lomavita OMLB
Andres Chapparo OMLB
Josh Knoth OMLB
James Wood MLB Debut ticket
Lucas Sims MLB Debut ticket
Hunter Greene MLB Debut ticket
Donovan Solano 23 Topps
Donovan Solano 23 Topps Heritage
The Solano cards help with my Topps Twins collection and the tickets fit in perfectly. And, follow the names on the baseballs. Some will be household names in a few years. Thanks for all you do Chris!
Not a Qual(m) In The World
I recently acquired a really cool Camilo Pasqual card from around 1970 (total guess) from when he played with the Caracas Leones team in the Venezuelan League. It is all in Spanish on the back and I do not read Spanish so I have no idea what it says but it is a pretty neat card. I sent it to Camilo to get signed. Since I did not want to send it alone, I found a 5″x7″ team photo from 1962 that I included with it. Camilo signed both in beautiful blue marker and signed my note with “Best of luck Kevin”. Camilo is awesome!
