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.
The Wizard of Oz
Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) had a signing about a month ago with Ozzie Smith. I had mailed in a cool 2002 Hall of Fame induction ticket that was postmarked on the front from induction weekend in Cooperstown to get signed. It got hung up in the USPS and finally arrived today. I am excited with this one! It looks great!
