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!

The Moose Is Loose!

Today I received a pair of packages I mailed out for the fun of it. It was a nice mail day. The first was a Hall of Fame postcard of Mike Mussina. Mike does not disappoint as long as you send a nominal fee. The other was an 8×10 photo from Don Larsen of the first pitch of his 1956 World Series Perfect Game. He signed it “1956 WS PG 10-8-56”. I normally do not collect photos but this was a cool picture of a cool moment in baseball history.

Fabulous Fisk

Today I received an awesome return of a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines from 9/24/2018 from Carlton Fisk. The cover features Bucky Dent hitting his famous home run off the Red Sox. The photo shows Don Denkinger, Bucky Dent, Carlton Fisk, and Mike Torrez. I have it signed by everyone but Torrez now. Carlton signed it perfectly for a nice donation to his favorite charity, The Cancer Support Center. I am excited to have a pair of magazines almost done by all four of the players on the cover!
