A few months ago I received a bunch of tickets from a friend of mine. Steve C attended a number of ballgames throughout his life and the tickets we a fun time capsule of those moments. Most of the events were from the St Louis area and I had a lot of fun going through them.
One of the tickets was from the game when Steve Carlton got his 300th win. Lefty is real accommodating with his autograph requests when the proper fee is provided. This ticket is really small so I had to make sure I found just the right tip sized marker to do the job. I have used fine point Steadtler Lumocolor markers in the past and knew this was a perfect time to use one again. The problem was that I did not have any! I ordered some on Amazon and they took forever to arrive from Germany (they are made there). I was not disappointed in the way it worked! The ticket looks amazing and is a fantastic addition to my ticket collection! Thanks to both Steves!

Reese’s Pieces
Today’s mail brought a debut ticket signed by Reese McGuire. Jovan P (baseballjovan on SCN) offered a signing event back in July so I sent my ticket in. Because of the US/Canada border being closed for so long, the signing finally happened. Reese signed the ticket with MLB Debut as well!
It Gets Through Buckner!
Today I received an addition to my 1986 World Series Game 7 ticket signed by Ray Knight I received a few days ago. I got a good deal on the Game 7 and Game 6 tickets but they were beat up pretty good. Jamie B (jamieblye on SCN) attended a signing that Mookie Wilson was signing at and I sent him my Game 6 ticket. I did not have this ticket when Bill Buckner was still alive otherwise I would have gotten it signed by both he and Mookie but since I got it after Bill sadly passed away, I wanted an inscription that would mark the pinnacle moment in that game. I requested an inscription of “It gets through Buckner” and Mookie included that. Those words were immortalized by the great Vin Scully calling the play that defined that Series. It looks great even though the ticket survived with what appears it being in someone’s pocket during the game.
Good Knight!
Today’s mail brought a full ticket from Game 7 of the 1986 World Series that I sent to have Ray Knight sign. I got a real good deal on 1986 World Series Game 6 and 7 tickets so I thought I would get them signed. They are in really rough shape though. Rough as in folded in someone’s pocket and beat up pretty good. I had Ray sign it with 1986 WS MVP. Chris R (rifon on SCN) hooked me up with the autograph and inscription and did a fine job with it!
