Chris Archer was a pitcher who played for the Twins for just the 2022 season but he has a pair of Topps cards as a Twin. Ryan S (Rls2239 on SCN) had a signing with Chris so I jumped at the chance to send them in. Today I received my two cards signed perfectly by Chris:
2022 #US233
2023 #465
I am excited to knock these two off my list!
I Got Boofed
Boof Bonser has had a couple private signings recently and I previously sent in tickets to his debut game. I realized after the last signing I also had a couple tickets from the game he got his first win in. When I saw Boof was signing again I sent a first win ticket to Josh M (ridiculousxdream on SCN) asking for the inscription. The signing took forever to happen as I understand Boof was pretty uncooperative and the inscription got missed. Josh was not going to deal with Boof again so he refunded me the cost of the inscription. I got one ticket signed and that is good enough for me!
No sMeares Here!
Today I received a signed Pat Meares card from jamesfun2collect on eBay. I needed a 1995 Topps #432 card and found it on eBay. It is signed in black Sharpie instead of blue but I am not picky for Meares’ card because they are not found frequently. I am excited to knock it off my Twins set need list!
The Finger in the Cake
Ok. To be honest I had a much, much different title for this post but decided against it. A few weeks ago I noticed Brandon G was selling a couple stat balls for Rollie Fingers with the money going to a foundation that sponsors research for the illness his child is afflicted with. I have a bunch of Rollie Fingers autographs (who doesn’t?) but not a stat ball. I bought it and it arrived today. It has his name and HOF 92 on the sweetspot with three stats on the top panel and three stats on the bottom panel. It looks great displayed!
