Sports Illustrated Day!

Today I received a pair of boxes with multiple Sports Illustrated magazines in them.  The first was from Jamie B (jamieblye on SCN) which had SI’s he got signed at a private signing for me from the following:
Bob Gibson – 10.07.1968
Bob Gibson – 07.19.1993
Roberto Alomar – 10.26.1992
They were all signed with the pen and the location I wanted and look great!

The other box had three Reggie Jackson SI’s that Isaias F (franco858 on SCN) got signed at his private signing.  Those issues are 06.17.1974, 05.02.1977 and 03.15.1982.  Again, all these were signed perfectly and in the perfect location and pen and look great too!

Thanks guys for providing a service of getting items signed for me!

A Royal-ly Awesome Package!

Today I received one of my final packages from the regular season.  This time from Harry S (harrybear on SCN) which contained three baseballs and a ticket.  Over the entire season Harry got me baseballs signed by:
Greg Holland
Yordano Ventura
Salvador Perez
and a ticket from Yordano Ventura’s ML Debut.  They all look great except for the Holland which got a little ink smudge while in transit to me.  Hopefully over time that will fade and look fine.
Harry even paid an extra nickel as postage went up since I sent it to him.  Thanks Harry!

A Couple Nice Items

Today’s mail brought a surprise and a package of some prospects.  Back in the beginning of the season, I mailed a baseball card to Paul Molitor at Target Field.  Today I received my 2013 Gypsy Queen card signed beautifully in blue!

The other package was probably the last one I will get from my friend Paul C in Florida until next spring.  He worked the instructional league games for me and picked up baseballs signed by the following guys:
Austin Meadows w/”1st RD Pick ’13”
Josh Bell w/”Futures Game 2014″
Alen Hansen
Kyle Schwarber
As always the last few years, Paul has done a great job and I cannot wait until next spring!

A Royal Treat!

Today I received a package from Kent B (doggle3 on SCN).  Kent has gotten me a ton of autographs over the last few years from spring training and Kansas City.  Overall, Kent is one of the best guys I go through for autographs.  His care and communication are top notch.
Today’s package contained the following:
2013 Topps Heritage Josh Willingham
2013 Gypsy Queen Josh Willingham
2013 Topps Josh Willingham
2014 Topps Josh Willingham
2 @ Billy Butler Sports Illustrated
Kent single handedly knocked out all my Willingham needs!  THANKS Kent!
