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.

Today I received back a Sports Illustrated magazine from 03.25.1985 that I sent to Peter Ueberroth that had him on the cover. He signed it nicely using the blue Sharpie I provided.
Meares
Today I received a Pat Meares card I bought from Chris P (rip8cp1 on SCN) via eBay. For some reason, Pat Meares cards are hard to come by and I need a few of them. When I saw Chris selling this one, I jumped on adding it to the collection. This card is the 1996 Topps. Interestingly, I will be receiving another card from Chris in a week or so that I paid for today.
Future Stars
Today I received a package from the MLB Players Alumni Association of six baseballs I bought. All the baseballs have the MLB hologram on it and are signed in blue ink on the sweetspot.

They all look great as far as the autographs go. The Futures logo stamp is not solid and I requested to trade it for a better one. We will see how it goes but even if I cannot trade it, I am pleased with the autographs and the authentication is as solid as you can get.
