One of my most favorite interactions with a celebrity was when I met Charlie Sheen. He was so cool to me and far, far exceeded what I expected it to be. When I saw Charlie was signing and Joseph K (joe0316 on SCN) was taking items for the signing, I sent in my two Major League items. I received them back signed in blue as requested. The items are:
Japanese Movie Ticket Stub
Japanese Postcard
Exciting oddball items to add to my collection!

Rippin’ It
I came across a post where Mike F of GOAT Sports Collectibles was selling a few magazines. I had most but a pair that really caught my eye that I needed was a pair of Sports Illustrated. One with Cal Ripken and one with Alex Rodriguez. I had the Cal Ripken issue but the CANADA version. I got that one signed years ago when Cal was doing a signing in the Twin Cities. This was the United States version from 12.18.1995. The A-Rod issue was from 07.08.1996. Both are authenticated by JSA.
Boooooooooog
Just before I went on my summer baseball trip that included a game at Camden Yards in Baltimore, I looked for some Boog Powell items to bring along as I heard he signed at “Boog’s BBQ Pit” inside the stadium. He was not there when we were but I did have a tasty BBQ sandwich though! I checked and Boog had a signing listed at The Dugout Zone in Baltimore so I sent all the items in. Today they arrived! A friend of mine sent me a couple postcards from Boog’s playing days when he heard I was going to look for Boog at the ballpark. I got those two signed as well as the following magazines:
04.1970 All Star Sports (Jerry Koosman is on the cover so I may need to send it to him to finish it)
06.1971 Sport
1971 Maco Sports Baseball Guidebook
Everything is signed great!
Tony O
I was going through a pile of items I had sitting near my desk area and came across a couple wire photos of Tony Oliva I picked up at some point over the years. What was great was it just so happened that Fan HQ was having a signing with him so I sent them in! Today’s mail showed up with both old wire photos signed perfectly along with a Hall of Fame induction Topps Now card I had wanted to get signed for a while. Fan HQ does a fantastic job with any autograph request, either in person or via mail, and take pride in their service. One of these wire photos has Cookie Rojas on it so I may send it to him to complete it.
