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!

2 Hall of Fame Postcards

I am pleased with how everything turned out. Thanks Franco! You did a great job!
Sir Rodney Part I
Today I received the first of a pair of packages that Isaias F (franco858 on SCN) sent me that has the items I got signed via his private signing with Rod Carew. Rod is not doing too well these days health-wise and was very limited for signing at Twinsfest this past January so when I heard Franco was having a signing with him, I sent all the magazines and items I had for him to get signed.
This box contained:
1970 Famous Slugger Yearbook
07.01.1974 Sports Illustrated
Sports All Stars 1976 Baseball
Oct 1977 Sport
Spring 1978 Baseball Quarterly
Summer 1978 Sports Hall of Fame Baseball
Aug 1979 Sport
These all turned out awesome. One of my favorite magazines is the Basbeall Quarterly. I remember my mom buying this magazine for me when I was eight years old and I read it so many times I wore it out. Somewhere along the lines it got tossed. I found a mint one on eBay for this signing.
I am very pleased with how everything turned out. I cannot wait to get my other package within the next couple days.
Thanks Franco!
