Today I received the other end of a trade I recently made with Tim M (jmac25 on SCN). Tim runs SportsIllustratedIssues.com. I had a couple extra SI’s and asked him if he needed any. He picked out a real nice 1956 issue that I had signed by 4 players with the best being Stan Musial. He also needed a Greg Vaughn regional issue from 1998. I sent those two issues to him and in return, he sent me the following:
1970 Tigers issue signed by Denny McLain
1978 Yankees issue signed by Fred Stanley
1985 Royals issue signed by Hal McRae
1986 Mets issue signed by Ron Darling
2003 Angels issue signed by Ryan Budde and Steve Soliz
I am very pleased with the quality of the magazines and hope to trade with Tim again someday!

Thanks Mate!
My buddy Greg N (justgreg on SCN) has been mentioned a few times in this blog. He came through for me again! Today I received a couple awesome signed items from when Luke Hughes visited the Tacoma Raniers. Greg got Luke on his ML Debut ticket when he hit a HR in his first at bat as well as on the 2011 Topps Heritage card already signed by Plouffe. AWESOME items! THANKS pal!
Twin Twins!
Today brought in a couple Twins from the past. I had found a really neat wirephoto with Joe Nossek sliding into second base a while ago and finally got around to sending it to him. I got it back signed today. Also in the photo is hall of fame umpire Doug Harvey. I will send it to Mr Harvey next.
Also in the mail was a couple cards signed by Steve Brye. I did already have these cards in my collection but both were multiplayer cards and the others had signed them so I thought I would send them off to him to finish them off. He did not disappoint!
If You Send It, He Will Sign
Most of you who know me know that my all time most favorite movie is Field of Dreams. I have been fortunate enough to have played catch at the movie site in Dyersville, IA with Caden a couple times in the past. Great movie. I had sent a baseball to James Earl Jones (Terrence Mann in the movie) a while ago. He is always acting somewhere whether it is in a movie or in a Broadway play so he is hit or miss timing wise. Today I received the baseball signed with his name and an inscription of Terrence Mann and Field of Dreams. I had asked for the quote about baseball from the movie but he did not do that.
I also received a real nice package of items that I had sent to Kent B (doggle3 on SCN). In it was a bunch of items I sent to him back when the Twins were coming to KC. In all, he got me the following items signed:
Chris Parmelee 2 @ 1st HR tickets
Francisco Liriano 2006 Topps UH & 2012 Allen & Ginter
Alexi Casilla 2012 Topps Heritage
Lorenzo Cain SS OMLB
Salvado Perez Debut ticket
Mark Mustakas 1st HR ticket
Salvador Perez side panel OMLB
Jonathan Broxton side panel OMLB
He still has a pair of tickets for Eric Hosmer’s ML Debut and his 1st HR that he is still working on. Thanks Kent!
