Today I received a pair of baseballs signed by Vlad Guerrero Jr. Al N (milb08 on SCN) had a private signing with him that included his numbered sticker hologram. I already had a pair of his baseballs signed but with the hologram I could not pass these up. These baseballs are absolutely beautiful too. They have a nice bold signature with no skipping or anything. These would for sure grade as a 10 each. I am pretty excited with these!

Worth the Wait
Today I received a pair of items to add to the collection. The first was nearly a year in the making. I had sent an Alex Verdugo debut ticket to a signing almost a year ago. For some reason, there were a few people who had items that got missed. The next signing with this promoter and Alex was this past Saturday. Today I received my 09.01.2017 debut ticket signed with “MLB Debut 9/1/17” and am pleased.
The other package was a 2018 Topps #115 Zack Granite signed card that I bought from Mike P (soxautographs29 on SCN). Not a bad day of mail!
You’re Flipping Me
Within the last year or so, my buddy Steve mailed me a bunch of his tickets from Cardinals and other games he has attended. He knows I collect them and was happy to share them with me. I appreciate that! Last weekend Tom Lawless was doing a signing with Chris D (cpdinc on SCN) so I knew I had to send in the ticket from Game 4 of the 1987 World Series. Tom signed it with the inscription ‘Bat Flip’. If you do not remember the game or the at bat, check it out here. It is a pretty neat addition to the collection. I thank Steve, Chris, and Tom for making it happen!
The Big Unit and a Couple 1st Round Draft Picks
Today I received a couple packages of baseball goodness. The first package was from Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) where he had a signing with Randy Johnson. I was able to get four items signed by Randy with three being Sports Illustrated magazines and the other being my 300 win baseball. Randy included “303 Ws” on my baseball. I now need only three more living 300 game winners to complete it (Maddux, Ryan, and Glavine). The three SI’s that were signed was 03.31.1997, 11.02.2001, and 12.17.2001 which he completed the issue that was already signed by Curt Schilling. They turned out great! Tom does an amazing job!
The second package I opened was a pair of baseballs my pal Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) got at a recent minor league game. The baseballs he got signed for me included Nick Pratto and Daniel Lynch. Lynch included “2018 34th Pick” which was interesting. Usually they write 1st round pick or something like that but since it was a sandwhich pick maybe that is why he wrote the pick number. Either way, it is pretty cool. Thanks Chris!
