With the latest downtime regarding autographs, I found that I was missing Carlton Fisk on my cover of the October 1979 issue of Baseball Magazine. I had Pete Rose, Don Larsen, and Bill Mazeroski on it but somehow missed adding Fisk when I was working on it. I sent it to him with his donation and requested him to inscribe it with “Stay Fair!!” which he did. The cover shows him waving his World Series home run to stay fair. Even though this issue includes Willie Mays on the cover, I will not be able to add him to it so I consider the cover completed!

A Schuer(holz) Bet!
Today I received a pair of Hall of Fame postcards signed by John Schuerholz. I had received one from him a while ago but it got partially rubbed off in transit so I send him a pair and his fee and received them perfectly signed today!
Got Rice?
Today I received a Hall of Fame plaque postcard from Jim Rice. I had sent it to him along with his required fee and got it back signed perfectly.
A Slice of Piazza
Today I received some items I am very excited to add to my collection. I had a couple baseballs in my collection signed by Mike Piazza but that was it. When I saw he was doing a private signing, I knew I had to send in some items. So, I chose to send in some Sports Illustrated magazines. I sent in five magazines and received them back today. One got completely smudged so Chris R (rifon on CN) provided a refund on it. The others are:
07.05.1993
04.04.1994
08.21.2000
10.23.2000
I am really excited to have these signed. I look forward to sending more in next time Mike has a signing.
