Falling Behind - Lots of Returns to Post

I received a few ttm returns on Saturday, as well as some Twins Spring Training purchases from a fellow SCN member.

Stan Bahnsen added another card to my 1975 Topps set and a 1972 Topps Rookie of the Year Award card.  I really like these award cards from this set.  It's a relatively inexpensive item to get signed by some really great players, and still make progress on a set I'm working on.  I'll probably add another player or two to this Rookie of the Year Award card.




I'll be sending Dick Bosman's 1967 Topps off to Pete Craig next.  I'm not sure if I'll send the 1970 Topps to Palmer though.  Is it worth $10 to get the second player on the card when the third player is deceased?  Maybe.




I finally got around to sending a couple set cards to Roy White.  He's a reliable signer but charges $10 per card, so I just hadn't gotten around to sending to him yet.


A fellow SCN member had some duplicates from his time at Twins spring training, so I was able to get some Topps Heritage cards and an Archives card as well as a Johan Santana Allen & Ginter.





I also received a 2023 Heritage card back from a Dylan Bundy mail-in signing.  I might be doing pretty well on the 2023 Heritage Twins set.  I'll have to get organized and see exactly where I stand.

Today I received a couple Felipe Alou cards back from a mail-in signing.  I added his 1971 Topps to my set and decided to get his 1959 Topps rookie card as well.  I think I've got all of his cards that I need, unless I come across a multi-player card that I'm overlooking.


Bill Mazeroski signed his 1960 Topps and the 6th Series checklist from 1961.  You know I'm desperate to add cards to a set when I'm sending out checklists.  I may be getting close to having all of his regular-issue cards.  I'm probably short two or three from the late 60's since I don't normally collect the 1967 through 1969 sets.


And finally, Mike Mussina signed his Hall of Fame postcard for me.
