Today I received a Sports Illustrated magazine signed by one of the best to ever play the game, Ken Griffey Jr. Back when Griffey played for the Mariners I would go to all three games in the series when they visited the Twins. Not once did I ever see Griffey or A Rod sign for anyone. Fast forward years later I have purchased two different signed (and authenticated) Sports Illustrated magazines in the span of a few months. I am glad to get these and would love to find the rest of them. This one came from Lou B (loumud on SCN) and arrived beautifully signed and in great shape. A real nice addition to the collection!

Didn’t Give Me The Finger!
Today I received a package with a Spring 1982 Baseball Special magazine signed by Rollie Fingers. I sent the magazine with a black Sharpie and he used that marker to sign it exactly where I wanted it signed. It looks great!
Chairman Of The Board
Today I received a magazine I sent to Whitey Ford. Mr Ford signed it in the exact location I requested and it looks awesome. The magazine is a July, 1962 Dell Sports with Whitey on the cover. He even used my blue Sharpie I provided. I could not be more pleased with how it turned out!
Sir Rodney Part II
Today I received the second package from Isaias F (franco858 on SCN) and he did not disappoint! This package contained the remaining items I had sent in for his private signing with Rod Carew:
3 2015 Gypsy Queen cards (one for me and each of the kids)
2 Hall of Fame Postcards
1967 Topps Rookie card! My last Rod Carew card I needed to complete the run of Carew Topps Twins cards!
Petersen’s ’78 Pro Baseball magazine
Street & Smith’s Official 1978 Baseball Yearbook
04.10.1978 Sports Illustrated
I am pleased with how everything turned out. Thanks Franco! You did a great job!
