A pair of magazine packages arrived today! Gene Alley signed the August, 1966 Baseball Digest. I am now going to send it to Bill Mazeroski to complete it. The other package was a pair of Sports Illustrateds from October, 30, 1989 that Kelly Downs signed via a private signing put on by Jeff F (haleysdaddy0304 on SCN). This is the issue that covered the 1989 World Series Earthquake. Jeff kept everyone up to date with awesome communication throughout the signing process.

Gammons!
Doug K (4192Hits on SCN) runs Cardboard Promotions in the New England area. You may recognize his name from my pile of Joe Mauer signed items I received from him a while back. Doug treats customers’ items as if they were his own. I never had an issue with anything I ever sent in to one of his signings. He recently had Peter Gammons as an autograph guest. He sold so many tickets that he had to have Gammons come back a week later to finish everything up. I had sent in a baseball to have Gammons sign it with “HOF 05” and, like everything else previously, was received in perfect condition!
Makin’ Shoes
Ryan S (Rls2239 on SCN) recently had a private signing with Matt Shoemaker. Matt played one less than stellar season with the Twins and was released and never signed with another team. I was excited to see this signing and sent in my 2021 Topps Update #US239 card and received it back today signed beautifully!
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!
