Today’s mail brought a really exciting package. \u00a0One of my most favorite Twins players of all time was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates at the trade deadline this past season. \u00a0I have collected Justin Morneau home run tickets and have a real nice run going. \u00a0When he was traded I was bummed out. \u00a0I had 19 Morneau cards I needed signed for my Twins card sets and thought with him being traded, there was no way I would get them signed. Recently it was announced that he would continue his Winter Warm Up Coat Drive collecting coats for needy people in Minnesota even though he was no longer a Twin. This was a real classy move by Justin. \u00a0I contacted Shaun H (33forMVP on Pat Neshek’s site and the owner of Fan HQ<\/a>) who was helping with the Coat Drive and asked if I sent a sizable donation for coats if Justin would sign the remaining cards I needed for my collection. \u00a0Mad props to Shaun and Justin for making this happen. \u00a0Today I received the cards and they are all signed beautifully.
\nThe cards I received today were:
\n2006 Topps UH204 – RBI League Leaders
\n2006 Topps UH313 – Team Leaders w\/Santana
\n2008 Topps 110
\n2008 Topps 287 – w\/Mauer & Santana
\n2009 Topps 90
\n2009 Topps 176 – RBI Leaders
\n2009 Topps UH265 – All Star
\n2010 Topps 360
\n2011 Topps 293
\n2012 Topps 230
\n2013 Topps 575
\n2011 Allen & Ginter 305
\n2013 Allen & Ginter 324
\n2010 Topps Heritage 420
\n2012 Topps Heritage 269
\n2013 Topps Heritage 274
\n2011 Gypsy Queen 72
\n2012 Gypsy Queen 119
\n2013 Gypsy Queen 201
\nYou hear about win-win deals all the time in life but this truly was a win-win. \u00a0I got my cards signed and many less fortunate people got new coats (just in time) for the cold winter.<\/p>\n

If you are at the Ridgedale Mall shopping this Christmas season, be sure to stop by Fan HQ!<\/p>\n

I cannot thank Shaun and Justin enough! \u00a0Thanks guys!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
