Today I received a card I purchased from Stan P (stanesq on SCN). It was a 1997 Topps Chuck Knoblauch. Chuck has gone into hiding for the most part in recent years and if he does do a show it is a private signing with exorbitant prices. This card was signed beautifully by Chuck in blue Sharpie. It brought me back to the old bit on the KQ Morning Show when Check was interviewed. It went something like this:
Interviewer: “And you are…”
Chuck: “Chuck Knoblauch!”
Interviewer: “Chuck Knoblauch… Can’t thank you enough for all the time!”
That was the entire interview. Pretty funny.

C Parm!
Today I received a 2015 Topps card signed by Chris Parmelee. I sent it back when he played in Norfolk for the Orioles AAA team. Chris is always one of the nicer players who respond to their fan mail and he did not fail me this time. Thanks Chris!
Ichiro!
Today I received a package of a couple Sports Illustrated magazines that Mark C (psugator01 on SCN) got signed during the Marlins season and the Perfect Game event down in Florida. The Ichiro SI was his first issue, 05.28.2001. The other magazines were both already signed by Charlie O’Brien and Mark got John Cangelosi to sign them. That issue is from 05.23.1994.
Right Down The Gullett
Today I received my March 3, 1975 Sports Illustrated from Ryan B (silverbacksports on SCN). Ryan got it signed by Don Gullett to finish it off for me through one of his private signings. I got all four of the main featured players on the cover to sign it: Gary Nolan, Don Gullett, Clay Carroll, and Jack Billingham.
