A Rose By Any Other Name…

Today I received the last seven Sports Illustrated magazines with Pete Rose on the cover that I sent in to a private signing to get signed.  They turned out perfect!  I am really excited to add them to my collection!  Franco858 (Isaias F on SCN) had a private signing with Pete in Las Vegas and these were signed at his event.  The issue I got signed are:
08.27.1979 (already signed by Manny Mota)
07.19.1982
08.27.1984
04.03.1989
07.03.1989
01.12.2004
03.10.2014
It was a great box to open!

Futures Stars!

Today was a great mail day.  I received three baseballs I purchased from Kent B (doggle3 on SCN) who I have purchased quite a bit from both already signed and via consignments.  Kent was up for the All Star festivities and got some autographs and made them available.  I received:
Joey Gallo w/”Futures Game MVP”
Julio Urias
Corey Seager
As always, Kent does an awesome job.

I also received a baseball signed by Dr James Andrews.  I sent it to him on 04.09.2014.  He signed it “To Kevin”/Dr Jim Andrews.  Interesting he signed his first name Jim.  Thanks Dr Andrews!

A Trifecta of Hall of Famers

Today I met up with my buddy Joel B (brad0112 on SCN) at Caden’s baseball tournament in Richfield.  Joel brought some things I had bought a while ago and he picked up for me as well as three magazines from a private signing he had during all star week.

Today I added a beautiful Lefty Gomez baseball and a beautiful Carl Hubbell baseball.  Both are psa/dna certified.  These came from the same batch I bought from a few months ago when I got Yogi Berra, AB Chandler, Curt Gowdy, Willie Stargell, Brooks Robinson and Hal Newhouser.  I have been wanting a Hubbell for a while and they are real hard to find in this condition.  I am pretty excited for both of these.

Joel brought three Sports Illustrated magazines he had signed for me when he met up with Rickey Henderson after the Celebrity Softball game last week.  These are also beautiful magazines signed perfectly.

Thanks a ton Joel!
