Tony O

I may be a little bias here but I have felt for years that Tony Oliva deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. As a person, he is second to none always smiling and taking photos with fans at Target Field or where ever. He is one of Cami’s favorite autograph gets of all time when she got him on a ball at the 2014 All Star Fanfest. I have a ton of Tony O autographs but had some items laying around that needed his signature on them so when I saw that Jeff F (haleysdaddy0304 on SCN) was having a signing with him at a reasonable price, I jumped on it. I got the following items signed beautifully via Jeff’s signing:
June 1971 Baseball Digest
1970 Topps Super
1971 Topps Super
Topps Living Set #366
Topps Now Turn Back The Clock #91
1967 Topps Venezuelan #230
They are all really cool but I think my favorite of this batch is the Venezuelan card! Thanks for doing a fantastic job on these Jeff!

A Pair of HOFers and a Pitcher

Today was a fun day of mail! I received my signed book written by Rock n Roll Hall of Famer Stevie Van Zandt, “Unrequited Infactuations” that I ordered via Backstreets.com! Little Steven signed it “Miami Steve” which is an interesting choice but I enjoyed the Springsteen book so much I thought it would be cool to get this one. I look forward to reading it!
The other Hall of Famer I got today was Roberto Alomar. Jamie Blye, yet again, assisted in handling my stuff to get signed. Jamie always does a great job with my items. This time I got a Hall of Fame postcard that was stamped at the Cooperstown Post Office on Induction Day signed as well as the April 1992 Sports Illustrated for Kids issue. The SI for Kids was already signed by Sandy Alomar so it is cool to get it finished by the Alomar brothers!
The final thing I got today was my debut ticket signed by Domingo German. Domingo signed it in nice silver paint pen with “MLB Debut”. Lucky’s Sportscards had Domingo in for a signing at the end of the season.

A Prospect and a Future Hall of Famer

Today was a fun day for mail! Jim Leyland signed autographs on September 19th at the Main Line Autographs show in Pittsburgh. I had a few things I had wanted to be signed for a while so I sent them in. I received the following items today:
Lanny Frattare scorecard from 04.08.1986 signed with “MLB Managerial Debut Opening Day 4/8/86”
Ticket stub from the 04.08.1986 game with “Managerial Debut”
Ticket from the 09.25.2013 game with “Final Win 1769”
2 baseballs with the following inscriptions on them:
1997 World Champs
1769 Wins
1728 Losses
2017 WBC Team USA Champs
3X MOTY 1990/1992/2006
All the Leyland items have JSA Witness authentication too! I love how these turned out and look forward to his induction into the Hall of Fame.

The other package was three baseballs from a signing that Fan HQ had with Jose Miranda. Each of those have Fan HQ authentication on them.
