The Brewers sensational rookie Sal Frelick recently had a signing with Waukesha Sportscards and I sent a debut ticket to it via Mark G (hofcs on SCN) to be signed. I received it today and it was signed perfectly with MLB Debut.

I Shantz Not Be Sad!
I recently received a Baseball Digest back signed by Bobby Shantz. Bobby was on the cover twice and I had to track down the first one he was on. It proved difficult to find a nice one but I did and today I received it back signed. Bobby signed my August, 1952 issue beautifully and included “1952 AL MVP” which is cool since it is the year he won it!
I also received a pair of signed tickets today! A buddy of mine sent me a pair of tickets from the June 14, 2023 Giants at Cardinals game from when Luis Matos made his Major League debut. I noticed Luis was doing a signing with Mike C (Mac6185 on SCN) and sent them in. Mike got Luis to sign them beautifully with “MLB Debut”. They are fantastic!
Puttin’ On The Rizz(o)
A real tough signer, Anthony Rizzo, was lined up for a private signing event recently. Chris R (rifon on SCN) was taking orders for him. I have dealt with Chris a lot over the years and knew my items were in good hands so I sent in my 03.28.2016 and my 10.10.2016 Sports Illustrated magazines to be signed. It was not cheap! Both were signed perfectly in blue Sharpie as I wished. I am down to needing just Kris Bryant on the 03.28 issue and only five (out of the total nineteen!) on the 10.10 issue. I started the 10.10 issue on a whim years ago and am surprised how far I have gotten on it! Truth be told, I am surprised on the 03.28 issue as well!
Oh Mr Wilson!
This return took a coordinated effort and real fast turnaround on Nik Key and my parts. I recently received my 11.08.2010 Sports Illustrated magazine back from Nik who was able to facilitate a signing with Buster Posey. To my surprise, the other person on the cover, Brian Wilson, was having a rare signing as well. I had to receive and mail it to Lefty’s Sportscards just before leaving for Arizona a couple weeks ago. Nik sent it quickly and I received it and shipped it to the Wilson signing the same day. Today I received it back signed by Brian Wilson. It is signed by both players in perfect blue Sharpie!
