One of my more recent PSA returns is this beautiful Joe Mauer PSA 5/10 gold refractor rookie auto. I picked this card up raw on eBay and sent it in to Mauer’s first private signing after he got inducted into the HOF!
My final item from Twinsfest was this 11x14 canvas of me and Joe from his Hall of Fame celebration at Target Field this past summer. I was hoping to get a signed canvas of Joe for my office, and this one was exactly what I wanted. I know a lot of people aren’t big on getting photo ops signed, but it’s one of my favorite items to get autographs on, and it’s a great way to make a personal item just a tad more unique.
Check out my most recent PC snag! I absolutely love this card for a couple reasons. The first being it features my all-time favorite player, Joe Mauer wearing his classic red white and blue helmet that he made famous in Minnesota. Second, this card features the Metrodome, with all of the retired players numbers in the back. If you were a kid growing up in Minnesota during the 2000s, I’m sure you can relate to why this card checks so many boxes for me.
What an odd card, no idea the circumstances of the Snoopy cameo (guess Joe is a fan?) and how short of a print Topps ran vs. his standard (no Snoopy) RC...in any case, I love owning one! #thehobby #toppsbaseball #joemauer
