Odds & Ends

Today I received a package of a few items I bought from Jonathan M (dabulls on SCN) of things I did not have but thought they were cool.  The first was a Jim Bunning HOF postcard.  What I liked about this one was that it had HOF 96 on it and it was signed boldly in blue Sharpie across the top.  Another item I bought was a Bob Feller 8×10 photo.  Yes, I have about a zillion Bob Feller photos but this one is a pose I did not have.  It is a picture of him flipping a baseball in the air.  He signed it and then inside the baseball he wrote “HOF ’62”.  I always liked that pose and am surprised I never got one signed before.  Heck, I don’t even collect photos but I bought it on a whim.  The last thing in the envelope was a signed umpire card of Rick Reed from the 2004 Bowman Heritage set.  Rick is from the same fraternity I was/am a member of and I know my friend Shane would love this card so when I saw it, I had to get it for him.  He doesn’t read this so it won’t ruin anything but I plan on sending the card to him.  He will get a kick out of it.

Rickey and Hal

Today I received two packages.  The first one was the magazine I have been working on lately which Hal Smith signed it.  For some reason I missed $0.65 postage on the package and he graciously added it.  Even though I sent him a donation, I am going to mail him $1 for covering me tomorrow.  It is going to be off to be signed by Bill Mazeroski next and it will be complete.
The other package was a baseball and a HOF postcard signed by Rickey Henderson.  Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) had some left over items he had signed by Rickey and sold them at prices I could not pass up.  I received each today and they look awesome.
