Wow! What a cool item I received today! Josh Martin recently posted in a Facebook group about offering a Rod Carew stat ball for sale. It looked pretty nice so I bought it and it arrived today. Years ago Reggie Jackson had a company that sold stat balls of different players and Carew was one. There are nineteen stats on the ball! It even came with the ReggieJackson.com card with the matching hologram sticker number! I love it! It is Rod’s old signature (pre-heart attack).

A few years ago I sent a ticket in to a signing and the signing didn’t go well. The paint pen exploded and ruined the ticket. The promotor, Jack B, worked out a deal with me so I sent him back the ticket. He would send me a pair of Hall of Fame postcards to make up for it. Today I received a Billy Wagner postcard. I will be getting another one in the future. I only had a baseball signed by Billy so it is cool to add this postcard to the collection!

I recently came across a post in a Facebook collecting group where Richard Stevens posted having some old baseballs he had recently acquired in a collection purchase. One of the baseballs was Leo Durocher and was for sale. I have wanted a Durocher ball for some time and this opportunity was too good to pass up. I received it today. It is signed real nice and bold in blue ink on the sweetspot. the ball is evenly toned which is common in old baseballs. This one is a Charles Feeney National League ball. I am super excited to add this to my Hall of Famer collection!

I did not have a chance to get to Paul Molitor’s line at Twinsfest so I sent him a 2025 Allen & Ginter #175 and received it back signed today! Paul is pretty automatic if you send the proper donation. Very happy with how this turned out!
