The Straw That Stirred The Drink

Today I received three magazines that my friend Ryan A got me at the recent Sun Times show in Chicago.  Ryan is awesome and has helped me out many times in the past and has done a great job.  The items I received today are:
07.11.1988 Sports Illustrated signed by Darryl Strawberry
02.27.1995 Sports Illustrated signed by Darryl Strawberry (completing the cover with Dwight Gooden)
1969 Home Run magazine signed by Lou Brock (completing the cover with Pete Rose)
Thanks a ton Ryan!

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose

Today I received four items I had sent to Isaias F (franco858 on SCN) for his private signing with Pete Rose.  I had sent in seven Sports Illustrated magazines to Franco for his private signing a couple years ago.  Since then I picked up a few things and sent them for his latest signing.  I received them back and they look great!  They are:
10.1979 Baseball Magazine (already signed by Don Larsen and Bill Mazeroski)
09.07.1970 Sports Illustrated (already signed by Bud Harrelson– I did not realize it is Pete Rose on the bottom of the magazine until recently)
08.1968 Sport
1970 Famous Slugger Yearbook (already signed by Rod Carew)
I am excited to add these awesome items to my collection!
