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!

The Lip
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!
Molly
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!
Bert Be Home Blyleven
As a sports broadcaster for ESPN, Chris Berman came up with a number of nicknames for baseball players. My favorite one was Bert “Be Home” Blyleven. I have sent many items to Bert to have signed over the years. The latest arrived today. Bert signed my 2025 Allen & Ginter #341 perfectly, as usual.
