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!

Doerr-ing It Right!

I have recently started getting into Baseball Digest magazines and getting them signed. I remember subscribing to the magazine for a few years when I was a kid and thought it would be cool to get some and get them signed. Unfortunately, that means I started late and a lot of players on the really cool, older issues have passed away. John H (88Harrison88 on SCN) posted that he had an issue from April, 1946 signed by Bobby Doerr for sale since it did not fit in his collection. I was excited to see that because the issue was in really good shape for its age and no mailing label. I bought it and it arrived today. I am pretty excited to add this to the collection!
