Today was a fun day of mail. I received a trio of items I sent to Phil K (StLSparty on SCN) for a signing he was doing with Jim Kaat and Ozzie Smith. Ozzie’s autograph was added to the 09.28.1987 Sports Illustrated that was already signed by Dave Collins. If this rings a bell, it is because I already had one completed by both guys and this is a second one. The other two items which had Kaat’s autograph inked on them was a 7″x8.75″ photo card of Jim taken in Spring Training in a year later in his career with the Twins. It appears to me to be like what you could buy at a souvenir stand at Met Stadium in the mid to late 1970s. I also had a Sporting News from 09.10.1966 which featured him on the cover signed. All three things turned out great! It was the first time I sent in to one of Phil’s signings and the way things turned out, it won’t be my last!

A Rookie Finalist?
As I mentioned a couple days ago when I received my Bobby Dalbec baseball from Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN), I received my other baseball from him today. This baseball is signed by Tyler Stephenson. Tyler is probably going to be an NL ROY finalist when they are announced. As with all the baseballs Chris gets signed for me, this one is perfect!
A Cycle!
Today I added a signature to a ticket I got in trade a while ago. I had been waiting for Larry Hisle to show up at a signing event and Mark G (hofcs on SCN) took my cycle ticket to that event. I sent a marker since the ticket is fairly small and instructions on where to sign it. They were executed perfectly! The name and Cycle inscription are in the perfect locations! The ticket looks awesome!
Bobby Boy
Today I received a baseball that I bought from Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) that was signed earlier this season by Bobby Dalbec. Chris is sending me another ball that will be posted here soon. Chris does an awesome job getting autographs for me!
