It is always a great day when you can add a Hall of Famer to the collection. It is even cooler when it is a cool image. Brooks Robinson is shown on the cover of the January, 1971 Baseball Digest issue diving to his left and he is showing the glove with the ball in it. Another snare by Brooks! He included HOF 1983 in blue Sharpie! A really cool issue for the collection!

Goose It!
Today’s Baseball Digest is from October, 1981 and features Goose Gossage on the cover. Goose signed it beautifully in blue Sharpie! A nice Hall of Famer to add to the Baseball Digest collection!
Jay Walking in Orlando
I received a pair of Baseball Digest magazines today! Joey Jay signed by February, 1962 issue and Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda signed my April, 1962 issue. Both were signed in blue Sharpie. Joey sent a quick note of thanks as well.
Gammons!
Doug K (4192Hits on SCN) runs Cardboard Promotions in the New England area. You may recognize his name from my pile of Joe Mauer signed items I received from him a while back. Doug treats customers’ items as if they were his own. I never had an issue with anything I ever sent in to one of his signings. He recently had Peter Gammons as an autograph guest. He sold so many tickets that he had to have Gammons come back a week later to finish everything up. I had sent in a baseball to have Gammons sign it with “HOF 05” and, like everything else previously, was received in perfect condition!
