Today I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Endy Chavez. Endy is the guy front-center on the cover of the 06.18.2007 issue along with five other people. Louis C (castleboys on SCN) had a signing with Endy and got these two signed perfectly for me!

A Wild Moose!
Today I received a pair of items for the collection.
The first was a box that had three baseballs I had sent to Lucky’s Sportscards for a private signing they were having with James “Wild Thing” Karinchak. James is a hard throwing reliever in the Indians organization who will be a top rated closer real soon. Vinny (owner of Lucky’s) also email me a photo of James holding the actual three baseballs he had just signed for me. I was really impressed with the service I received from Lucky’s. I got JSA on each ball too.
The other package was a Lanny Frattare scorecard I had sent to Mike Mussina. It was from the game on 06.14.2005 when Moose threw a complete game shutout against the Pirates at Yankee Stadium. I had sent a real nice note and even extra money to have it inscribed with “22nd CG SO” but all I got was “HOF 19”. Oh well. At least I got it back and got it back signed.
The Final Bartlett
Today I received a pair of 2014 Topps Update #uS-125 signed by Jason Bartlett. I had sent these to Dana D (er21 on SCN) for his private signing event. This card is the last one I need to complete my run of Jason Bartlett signed Topps Twins cards!
Big Sexy!
Today I received my debut ticket back signed by Big Sexy Bartolo Colon! I sent the ticket to Trent A (Albert2011 on SCN) who had a private signing with Bartolo. I paid to have him add “ML Debut” on it which he did. Bartolo made his debut on 04.04.1997 at Anaheim Stadium when he played for the Indians. Pretty fun little ticket!
