Some Mail and pickups

  There’s nothing quite like a "Mail Day" to make a return home even better. For a card collector, that stack of envelopes is easy to spot: the telltale bulk of a bubble mailer or a white envelope with reinforced, taped edges to survive the trip. Sometimes, you can even see the ghost of a top loader pressed against the paper—a nervous reminder of the heavy machinery it traveled through. Coming home from Iowa to a pile of new additions waiting for you is the perfect way to wrap up a trip. Luis Arraez is a player teams want.  They just don't know it.  He's back to hitting over .300 again and this season he's been a defensive gem.  I might be the only person on earth who knew this.  At least Johnny, from  Johnny's Trading Spot  fame, recognized my fandom for the player and sent these cards my way, along with a stack of other Twins. Bryon Buxton is currently the face of the Twins.  He is the anti-Arraez.  Good fielder, good speed, hits with power...
