Today I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Mike Torrez. The issue is from 09.24.2018 and shows a photo of him giving up Bucky Dent’s home run in 1978. One is now complete with Torrez, Bucky Dent, Carlton Fisk, and the umpire Don Denkinger. The other issue is missing just Fisk. I have another issue missing just Torrez but since this was the first time working with Jeff C (JB Autographs on Facebook), I did not want to put all my eggs in one basket so to speak. I am very pleased with how these turned out!

A Cool Day
Today I received a pair of Negro Leaguer Hall of Famer signed baseballs I purchased from John A. My friend Joel B is helping John sell his collection and sent me a link to his items. I saw these two and they have been on my need list for a long time and made a fair offer. They arrived today and are awesome. The Leon Day baseball is as close to perfect as you can get. The James “Cool Papa” Bell baseball is signed as his post-stroke baseballs are. The condition of the baseballs are amazing. I am excited to add these two to my collection!
Not A Baine(s) in the Butt!
Today I received a baseball signed by Harold Baines. Harold included HOF 2019 on the ball too! I had noticed he was signing via his home for a fee so I sent a ball off and got it today! Thanks Harold!
4 HOF Postcards
Today I received a package that had four HOF postcards in it that I purchased from Ryan C (campryan on SCN). I usually do not pick up postcards like these unless they are really nice, hard to find, or reasonably priced. These postcards are all real nice and were all reasonably priced.
The postcards I added to my collection are:
Eddie Mathews
Joe McCarthy (SGC slabbed)
Sam Rice (Artvue- SGC slabbed)
Phil Rizzuto w/HOF 94 and USPS Cooperstown Postmark on the back (Beckett slabbed)
I am excited to add these to my collection! Thanks Ryan!
