Shantz-y Pants
Today brought in another Baseball Digest! This one signed by Bobby Shantz. Bobby signed my September, 1957 issue beautifully and included “1952 A.L. M.V.P.” on it!
Tanana Banana
I recently started acquiring Baseball Digest magazines to send out to get signed. I remember subscribing to it back when I was a kid so this is fun to remember getting the newest issue and attempting, but never finishing, the crossword puzzle inside. Today’s mail brought in the May, 1976 issue with Frank Tanana on the cover. He signed it and included his testimonial card.
Tony O Times Three
I admit it. I have a ton of Tony Oliva signed items. Just when I think I have everything possible I want signed, something pops up that I have to add to the collection. Todd B (moselder71 on SCN) had a private signing with Tony at a very reasonable price so I sent in three items. Two of them were Hall of Fame postcards and one was the last signature I needed to complete the February 1968 Baseball Digest issue. I already had a Hall of Fame postcard signed by Tony but what makes these two special is that they are postmarked from Cooperstown’s “Induction Day Station” from Hall of Fame weekend. All three were signed perfectly and I could not be happier. What will I find next that needs to be signed? Who knows? Stay tuned though. I am sure I will find something!
