What a Sport

Brian Kritz recently posted some older signed Sport magazines for sale on a Facebook group. I have purchased items from Brian in the past and he does a great job on things.
The package I received today included:
02.1952 Al Dark
05.1953 Bob Lemon
02.1955 Al Dark
05.1959 Hank Bauer @ 2

These guys all signed through the mail but I did not get into Sport magazines until after they passed away so it was real nice to be able to add these to my magazine collection.

Flipped Over!

Dan Gladden has not signed the Sports Illustrated magazine where he collided with Greg Olson in the 1991 World Series for a while. Years ago he was at an appearance and Cami had a photo of the collision and he personalized it to her and had a really cool inscription. I was waiting for a private signing with Dan so I would not have to deal with an inscription or anything else like that. I saw that Guy Puglia had a signing with Dan so I sent in the magazine that I had Greg sign just a couple months ago and received it back today signed by Dan. He signed his name and included #32!

From Prospects to Superstars

If you have following along with my collecting journey you have heard about Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) many times. Chris gets me autographs like crazy out in the Washington DC area and takes care of my items as his own.
Today I received a nice box of items from him he got signed since my last box of items he sent me. These all look awesome and I love following along with these guys as they progress through the minor leagues up to become Major Leaguers.
The package today included:
Carson Spiers OMLB
Seaver King OMLB
Franklin Arias OMLB
Rece Hinds OMLB
Chase Dollander OMLB
Sterlin Thompson OMLB
Cooper Pratt OMLB
Yophery Rodriguez OMLB
Patrick Reilly OMLB
Caleb Lomavita OMLB
Andres Chapparo OMLB
Josh Knoth OMLB
James Wood MLB Debut ticket
Lucas Sims MLB Debut ticket
Hunter Greene MLB Debut ticket
Donovan Solano 23 Topps
Donovan Solano 23 Topps Heritage
The Solano cards help with my Topps Twins collection and the tickets fit in perfectly. And, follow the names on the baseballs. Some will be household names in a few years. Thanks for all you do Chris!
