Recently a friend of a friend was looking to sell a signed piece of memorabilia and my friend reached out for any help I could offer.  I had fun doing it and the seller got more than they originally expected.  I was surprised when a check showed up in the mail as part of the sale as thanks for helping.  It was a real kind gesture.  I took that money and found a Kirby Puckett signed 1994 Topps #607 to put it towards.  That card arrived today!  Pete G (pdg16 on SCN) was the high bidder in a few lots of Kirby&#8217;s personal signed cards that were auctioned a few years ago.  These cards come with a signed letter as such from Kirby&#8217;s ex-wife Tonya.  What really makes this card cool is it is the FINAL signed Topps Twins card I needed to complete my 1994 team set!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a really cool day.
