Today I received a pair of packages that had some real nice items in them.

The first package was from Chad L (TheChad on SCN) and contained a bunch of Rochester Red Wing items he got signed for me at the Welcome Home Luncheon and the first few weeks of the season.  He filled in some real nice items I was unable to get at Twinsfest or otherwise so far.  Chad got the following signed for me:
Aaron Slegers ticket w/”MLB Debut”
Tyler Duffey ticket w/”1st Win!”
Alan Busenitz ticket w/”MLB Debut”
Zach Granite ticket w/”First HR”
Gabriel Moya 1st Save ticket
Gabriel Moya ML Debut ticket
Kennys Vargas 2017 Topps Now Road To Opening Day OD-146
Aaron Slegers 2018 Topps 227
Chad has a few other items to work on for me and I should be getting those goodies in a month or so.  I cannot wait!  Thanks Chad!!!

The second package was from Devin M (baseballexpert on SCN) and contained the following cards:
4 Jake Reeds
Vance Worley
Jason Richardson
Yohan Pino
2 Niko Goodrums
James Beresford
These cards appear better in person than they even were in the photo!

Bruuuuuuuuuce!

Today I finally received the final item I sent to MLAM for their spring training signings.  Major League Alumni Marketing had a signing with a number of players this spring and I had received all my packages except one.  Today I received my Lanny Frattare scorecard from 5/27/2008 when Jay Bruce made his major league debut.  I already have a ticket from the game signed by Bruce and when I had the chance to purchase Lanny Frattare’s scorecard from the game, I did and knew I would want it signed some day.  Jay signed the scorecard on his row on the scorecard and added “ML Debut”.  It turned out beautifully and I am real happy!

Thanks Gaylord!

Today I received a rather odd package.  Last week I received a pair of magazines that I had mailed to Gaylord Perry with his fee.  The magazines were not signed at all and my cash was not returned.  However, someone wrote “O.K.  Baseball is great!” on my note.  It made no sense to me and I was disappointed.  Well, today I received a priority mail envelope and inside was a jersey that was signed by Gaylord Perry with HOF inscription.  I am a bit unsure still on what to make of it.  It was intentionally sent to me as someone hand wrote my address on the label and Gaylord’s address in the return spot.  I do not collect jerseys but this was a pretty interesting thing to happen to me.
