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!

A Kitty and a Wizard!
Today was a fun day of mail. I received a trio of items I sent to Phil K (StLSparty on SCN) for a signing he was doing with Jim Kaat and Ozzie Smith. Ozzie’s autograph was added to the 09.28.1987 Sports Illustrated that was already signed by Dave Collins. If this rings a bell, it is because I already had one completed by both guys and this is a second one. The other two items which had Kaat’s autograph inked on them was a 7″x8.75″ photo card of Jim taken in Spring Training in a year later in his career with the Twins. It appears to me to be like what you could buy at a souvenir stand at Met Stadium in the mid to late 1970s. I also had a Sporting News from 09.10.1966 which featured him on the cover signed. All three things turned out great! It was the first time I sent in to one of Phil’s signings and the way things turned out, it won’t be my last!
A Cycle!
Today I added a signature to a ticket I got in trade a while ago. I had been waiting for Larry Hisle to show up at a signing event and Mark G (hofcs on SCN) took my cycle ticket to that event. I sent a marker since the ticket is fairly small and instructions on where to sign it. They were executed perfectly! The name and Cycle inscription are in the perfect locations! The ticket looks awesome!
Sir Rodney
Today I received a pair of items signed by Rod Carew. Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) had a private signing with Rodney and I sent in a Perez Steele postcard and a 2021 Allen & Ginter card #108. Without knowing if there would be a Twinsfest this January I was not willing to wait to get these done. Rod’s prices are going up and I figured it would be best to get him now with those items laying around needing ink.
