Josh’in Me

Today’s mail brought a couple packages but not the one I was expecting. I don’t think that one has been mailed yet. The two I got today make me happy just the same. Brian P (ka0grp on SCN) hooked me up with four Josh Donaldson cards from the Golf Tournament he graphed at. Those are:
2021 Topps #94
2020 Allen & Ginter #245
2020 Topps #372
2021 Allen & Ginter #324
They turned out great even with Donaldson’s crappy “signature”.
The other package contained a pair of JSA witnessed Ian Anderson baseballs. Alan Frederick on Facebook had a private signing with Ian and I sent in a pair of baseballs. I think Ian is a stud and winning the World Series just increases his visibility.

Free Willie!

No, Willie was not really free. He was reasonably priced though! Today I received my 06.18.2007 Sports Illustrated that was already signed by three now includes Willie Randolph! Chris R (rifon on SCN) took care of my magazine at a recent show. I have another EXCITING package coming from Chris in a couple days.
I also received a little Fernandomania today! Luis B, owner of One Way 77 JC, had Fernando Valenzuela in for a signing and I sent in my 2000 Fleer Greats of the Game card. I had this card “signed” but learned that Fernando uses a ghost signer and all the autographs in my collection of him are ghost signed so I really wanted to replace them but could only justify the card at this time due to the cost. I still have to replace a baseball and a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines. This redo on the card now REALLY completes my 2000 GOTG set! Luis also had Kenley Jansen in for a signing so I sent a debut ticket and got it signed with “MLB Debut”. A couple fun additions to the collection today!

Johnny Likes Tuttles

Today was a fun day getting a couple autographed items along with some cool tickets for the collection.
The autographed items are a 1963 Topps Bill Tuttle card that David P (dcpolak on SCN) was selling. The other item is my Sports Illustrated magazine from 04.20.2016 already signed by Madison Bumgarner and Buster Posey that now is complete after Johnny Cueto signed it in the Dominican Republic for a PastPros/Under The Radar Sports signing. Here is Johnny completing my SI!
