Today I received my Sports Illustrated magazine I sent to Jim D (jdduck on SCN) for a signing he was having with Ryan Klesko. Ryan is featured on the cover of the 11.06.1995 Sports Illustrated magazine where the Braves players are mobbing each other after winning the World Series. It was signed in a the perfect location with a perfect marker! Thanks Jim!

Joltin’ Joe
Today I received a baseball I have wanted for a long, long time. I have always wanted a Joe DiMaggio baseball but was afraid of getting one because there were so many fakes out there. I recently sold a baseball that yielded me a nice starting point to look for a DiMaggio baseball. I sold a few more things and ended up with enough money to purchase the ball I really wanted. Today I received a beautiful PSA full letter certified Joe DiMaggio baseball for my collection. It was the second most expensive baseball I have ever purchased for my collection but I have one that I feel very comfortable with having. It is graded PSA 9 which is awesome too!
Bob Allison
Today I received a couple cards for my Twins set. Every first of the month I check Brian F (abcunlimited.net)’s update to see if he added any new Twins cards I might need. The update for January included a 1962 Topps Bob Allison #180 that I needed. I contacted Brian to acquire it and he reminded me that I had a credit from a small website fix I did for him a while ago so I ended up with the Allison and a 1982 Twins Future Stars #766 card signed by Lenny Faedo for my collection! The cards are perfect and I hope to get Hrbek and Laudner to finish the 1982 card at Twinsfest in a couple weeks!
Old McDonald Signed My SI, E-I-E-I-O
Today I received my 07.18.1994 Sports Illustrated magazine signed by Ben McDonald. I had previously gotten Mike Mussina to sign it and needed Ben to complete it. I recently saw that Tim V (Sigs4Soldiers on SCN) had a contact with Ben and I messaged asking if I could send my SI to get signed along with a sizable donation. Today I received it signed beautifully! It is awesome! To date, Tim has raised over $40,000 for Military Missions In Action through his Sigs4Soldiers program!
