The Zack Attack!

I recently did a consignment with Neal T (TuckerKCRoyals on SCN) to get a couple baseballs signed by top prospects at the All Star Futures game.  Neal came through with Zack Wheeler for me.  Zack is the #22 overall MLB prospect and is in the Mets organization.  Not only did Neal get it signed the way I wanted but he also got it signed using the ink pen I sent and provided an awesome summary on where and when he got it.

Twins #1 Prospect Miguel Sano

Today I received my end of a 50/50 with Nick C (brewcrewownyou on SCN) which was a blue ink sweetspot ball signed by Miguel Sano.  Nick included a ticket from the Snappers game where it was signed as well as a couple photos of him getting Miguel to sign stuff.  Sano has a couple different versions of his autograph and both of which you cannot tell what it says.  I am excited to add this player to my collection as he is projected to be a top player and is one of the top prospects in baseball.

Robert Pershing Doerr

Today I received a special issue Sports Illustrated that celebrated Fenway Park’s 100 years.  SI issued two versions; one with an old black and white photo from 1965 and a newer colored photo.  I sent the black and white one to Bobby Doerr a month or so ago along with $5 and got it back with the autograph all bubbled due to the glossy cover.  I had even included a Staedtler to use.  I removed the autograph and resent it with a note to please use the marker provided and another $5.  It looks much better this time around.  He included his HOF 86 on it as well.

Hummel & Carew

I am sure back in the day Rick Hummel wrote about Rod Carew at some point.  Today they were reunited once again.

I received another addition to my baseball collection from Rick Hummel.  He signed the baseball on the sweetspot and included the requested inscription “2006 HOF- J. G. Taylor Spink Award”.  Nice ball to add to the collection!

I also received a card I needed for my Topps Twins collection.  I bought the 1974 Topps All Star card signed by Rod Carew.  Another card down!
