They’re Real And They’re Spectacular!

Today I received a real nice box of goodies I had sent in to Tom Orr for the Chicago Sports Spectacular. I have worked with Tom MANY times and have never been disappointed and this time was no different. I was able to get a Baseball/1975 magazine with Lou Brock on the cover signed. It has a cool photo of Lou sliding back to first base after a pickoff attempt. I also got the 03.05.2012 Sports Illustrated signed by Ozzie Guillen and my 300 win baseball signed by Tom Glavine with ” 305 W’s”. All items are awesome! Thanks Tom!

A Stark Return

Today I received a baseball I had sent out at the end of July. I should have known it was a bad time to send it with the trade deadline and then the playoffs coming up but Jayson Stark signed my baseball and included “2019 J G Taylor Spink Award” on it. It looks great and is a real nice addition to my collection. Jayson also included a note apologizing for it taking so long. Thanks Jayson!

Three’s A Charm!

Today I received three, yes THREE, packages with autographs in them! What a fun mail day!
The first package was a HOF postcard signed by Trevor Hoffman that I bought from Steve S (cosmo on SCN). Steve has provided me a few items in the past and is one cool dude. He also included an early Kent Hrbek signed index card. Thanks Steve!
The second package was a pair of Shane Mack cards. FanHQ had a private signing with Shane last week and I had sent in my final two Mack cards I needed to complete my Twins team sets. These are 1990 Topps Traded #64T and 1994 Topps #337. Both were signed perfectly in blue Sharpie. Thanks Shaun and crew!
My final package was one I forgot about. I mailed a baseball to Dave Fleming via Oracle Park in San Francisco asking him to write his call from when the Giants beat the Tigers in the World Series. Not only did he sign the ball but he also included his call! I have a new baseball to add to The Call Ball Collection! Thanks Dave!
What a fun time opening these packages!
