A 2fer!

Today I received a pair of packages I recently sent out.  The first was a really cool magazine with Whitey Ford on the cover as one of the images.  Mark C (psugator1 on SCN) had a private signing with Whitey and got it signed really nice for me.  I hope to add some of the other guys on it real soon!  Also in the mail today was a baseball signed by Dan Shaughnessy.  Dan was one of the three finalists for the Ford Frick Award at the Hall of Fame this year and I thought it would be cool to add his autograph to the collection before he is inducted in a couple years.  I contacted him via the Boston Globe and he was kind enough to reply and sent me his address.  It is a neat addition to the collection!

72 Twins Team

Today I received a 1972 Twins team card I purchased from Chris P (Chris Potter Sports). Chris travels the country setting up private signings with former players.  This particular card is signed by the following players:
Rick Dempsey
Phil Roof
Rick Renick
Bobby Darwin
Jim Holt
Jim Perry
This is a nice card to add to my collection!

The New Commish

Today I received a couple envelopes with autographed items in them.  The first envelope I opened was a SASE I sent to the MLB office to get a pair of signed business cards from the new MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred.  They look really cool!  The other envelope was a pair of cards I bought from Joseph M (momo44 on SCN) which was a 2014 Topps Josmil Pinto card signed by Josmil and Chris Collabello and the other was a 2011 Bowman Chrome Oswaldo Arcia rookie card.
