Today’s mail brought a pair of real nice autographs. The first was a baseball I sent to Jim Bunning and requested a few career stats. He signed it and included just HOF but it looks great. The other package was a Sports Illustrated magazine I bought from Kathleen S (bagsfan52 on SCN) that is a GORGEOUS PSA certified Ken Griffey Jr magazine from 06.06.1994. That is an awesome addition the the SI collection!

He Caught JFK
Today I received a baseball signed by Marty Kutyna. I had requested him to write a story about catching the 1962 Opening Day first pitch from JFK but it looked like he may have had a little trouble writing on the baseball and signed it with a couple unrelated inscriptions. It appears he wrote it in pencil first so he would not mess it up. I appreciate him taking his time to have a nice baseball for me. I received that today as well as an envelope that he paid for with his own money that had a bunch of items from his career including a real nice large photo of JFK signing his baseball. He included three signed items personalized to me. I also got a dvd on Mickey Vernon that he included in my baseball package. All in all a real nice return! Thanks Marty!
Handsome Ransom!
Today I received a Story Ball from Handsome Ransom Jackson. Ransom hit the last home run as a Brooklyn Dodger and wrote about it. The baseball is really cool. He included a nice note and mentioned his book coming out. He wrote that he did not realize until thirty years later when his son called him that it was a question on “Good Morning America!” This was a real neat response and an awesome addition to the Story Ball Collection! Thank you Ransom!

Today I received a baseball I purchased from the MLBAA a while ago. They had to be reminded to ship it and I even returned a different baseball I ordered at the same time that had the ink bleeding and was a mess. This baseball looks great and is signed by Jordan Zimmermann and has a MLB Hologram. It is a nice addition to the collection.
