Just a Couple Purchases

It's been very slow lately.  I only have five or six signings that I'm waiting on, and they're pretty spread out with a couple on their way back and some not taking place until late July.

I sent out eight ttm requests a week ago today.  One was a 1972 Topps that is on its way back from Carlton Fisk, according to the return tracking.  None of the others have tracking.  I am working on three copies of the Fisk rookie card, with other copies currently out to Cooper and Garman.  Rather than sending all three to each player at a time, I decided to send one card to each three times.  This reduces the risk that one of the guys stops signing for some reason.  I already have one copy of the card signed only by Fisk, and three completed copies, so I should end up with six completed, and one of just Fisk.

I had a couple of them authenticated and slabbed by JSA/CGC.

I received a couple purchases over the last few days.  One was from eBay and included 1964 Topps cards signed by Stigman and Goryl.  I have these cards already, but these were really cheap and are decent copies signed in blue.

And I added another Twins card to my 2023 Topps Heritage team set.  I was surprised when I realized I have about 15 card signed from this set.  Almost all have been purchases, like this Jorge Polanco card.
