Things are pretty slow because I just haven't sent out many requests. Just a couple here and there.
Today I received a nice return from ever-reliable Vern (Vernon Law), who signed a 1962 Topps Pirates team card as well as a 1966 Topps on which he added a ton of inscriptions. I included $20 with my request.
The team card was previously signed by Roy Face, Bobby Shantz, Bill Mazeroski and Bob Skinner. All good players and all great ttm signers.
I also received a 2020 Allen & Ginter signed by Luis Arraez back from a Fan HQ signing. I thought it was steep at $49, but I guess it's appropriate for a three-time batting champ, with a .354 average in 2023 and a decent .334 for the Twins in 2019. It came with a Beckett Witness Authentication sticker at no extra charge.
I was disappointed when the Twins traded him. I wonder if they thought his hitting was a fluke and wanted to cash in on his "luck". Carew was a big fan of his, and he's probably a decent judge of hitters. Luis is barely 28 years old, so he could win a few more batting titles before he's done.
