Today I received a pair of items signed by Rod Carew. Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) had a private signing with Rodney and I sent in a Perez Steele postcard and a 2021 Allen & Ginter card #108. Without knowing if there would be a Twinsfest this January I was not willing to wait to get these done. Rod’s prices are going up and I figured it would be best to get him now with those items laying around needing ink.

Tony O
I may be a little bias here but I have felt for years that Tony Oliva deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. As a person, he is second to none always smiling and taking photos with fans at Target Field or where ever. He is one of Cami’s favorite autograph gets of all time when she got him on a ball at the 2014 All Star Fanfest. I have a ton of Tony O autographs but had some items laying around that needed his signature on them so when I saw that Jeff F (haleysdaddy0304 on SCN) was having a signing with him at a reasonable price, I jumped on it. I got the following items signed beautifully via Jeff’s signing:
June 1971 Baseball Digest
1970 Topps Super
1971 Topps Super
Topps Living Set #366
Topps Now Turn Back The Clock #91
1967 Topps Venezuelan #230
They are all really cool but I think my favorite of this batch is the Venezuelan card! Thanks for doing a fantastic job on these Jeff!
A Pair of HOFers and a Pitcher
Today was a fun day of mail! I received my signed book written by Rock n Roll Hall of Famer Stevie Van Zandt, “Unrequited Infactuations” that I ordered via Backstreets.com! Little Steven signed it “Miami Steve” which is an interesting choice but I enjoyed the Springsteen book so much I thought it would be cool to get this one. I look forward to reading it!
The other Hall of Famer I got today was Roberto Alomar. Jamie Blye, yet again, assisted in handling my stuff to get signed. Jamie always does a great job with my items. This time I got a Hall of Fame postcard that was stamped at the Cooperstown Post Office on Induction Day signed as well as the April 1992 Sports Illustrated for Kids issue. The SI for Kids was already signed by Sandy Alomar so it is cool to get it finished by the Alomar brothers!
The final thing I got today was my debut ticket signed by Domingo German. Domingo signed it in nice silver paint pen with “MLB Debut”. Lucky’s Sportscards had Domingo in for a signing at the end of the season.

“Touch ’em all, Joe”
Blue Jays announcer Tom Cheek cried those words at the end of Game 6 of the 1993 World Series when Joe Carter hit a Series walk off home run. Today I received my small piece of that moment when Joe Carter returned my ticket stub from that game signed beautifully. A while ago I came across a guy selling his 1992 & 1993 post season tickets on Facebook. He was a really nice guy who ended up calling me via the Facebook app and we talked about it for an hour. He was real happy his tickets were going to a collector who would appreciate them. I was really nervous about sending this ticket in the mail as it was the best and most valuable in the lot I bought. I had included a donation eight times what his typical requested amount was hoping for an inscription and to at least get it back. While I did not get the inscription I wanted I did get it back and get it back signed and that was worth it to me!
