Today I received the first of two packages from Chris R (rifon on SCN) who held private signings with Gary Gaetti and Jim “Kitty” Kaat. I have gotten Kaat a number of times over the years but did not realize until recently that I did not have him on my 1965 Twins team baseball. I included that baseball and now have 21 players from the 1965 Twins post season roster on it. I also sent in a 5″x7″ postcard from 1965 and Jim signed that real nice. I found a fairly beat up ticket from Game 1 of the 1987 ALCS and sent that in for Gary to sign. He signed it with “2 HR’s” and “1987 ALCS MVP” as I requested.
I realized after I mailed this in that I had some other tickets for Gary to sign so I sent those in separately and should receive those soon!

Gonzo for Car Go
Today I received a debut ticket signed by Carlos Gonzalez. Lou R (SIGNATURES on SCN) held a private signing with Car Go and I sent in the ticket. Carlos inscribed it with “Car Go” and “MLB Debut”. It looks great!
Well Albie(s)
Today I received a pair of tickets signed by Ozzie Albies. I had sent them in to a signing via Jim D (jdduck on SCN) via BP Sports in Marietta, GA. I had requested one to be signed with ML Debut and the other with just Ozzie’s name. I had asked to have them done with a silver paint pen. Ozzie writes real fast so his name was streaked a little but for the price I cannot complain. Ozzie is a pretty good star in the making!
Making Senzel of it
I have wanted a baseball signed by Nick Senzel for a while but all he signs is “N S” when he signs autographs. I wanted a baseball with his first and last names on it rather than initials. I also had a ticket from his Debut game I wanted signed at some point. I noticed that Armando Montiel from 24/7 Collectibles was having a signing with Nick and offered a limited number of full name signatures. I sent in the ticket and a baseball requesting a full name and an inscription on the ticket. I was not sure what to expect as I had never participated in any of Armando’s signing events but today I received the baseball and ticket signed perfectly. I am real pleased with the items and the cost and customer service Armando provided. I am excited to add these items of an up and coming superstar to my collection!
