Today I received a really cool ticket signed by Karl Anthony Towns. FanHQ had a signing with KAT while I was in Florida so I sent my debut ticket to the event and today I received it back. It was signed perfectly and he inscribed “NBA Debut” on it. What makes this ticket even cooler is that it was the final Opening Day for Kobe Bryant as he retired after the season. FanHQ does a great job with all their signings and this was no exception!
Category: Private Signing
The Rocket
Today I received a pair of items I had sent in to Chris D (cpdinc on SCN) for his private signing with Roger Clemens. I sent in my 03.31.2003 Sports Illustrated that was already signed by Mike Mussina and Jose Contreras and Chris got Roger to sign it perfectly. I also sent in my 300 win baseball that already had six signatures on it and Roger signed that perfectly with a “354 W” inscription. It too looks great! Chris did a great job on these items at a very fair price. Thanks Chris!!!
Dansby Don
Today I received a couple items to add to the collection. The first was a baseball signed by Don Denkinger with an inscription of “Orta was out!” referencing his call in the 1985 World Series. I bought this from deano (Lezcano D on SCN).
The other package was a signed ticket from Dansby Swanson’s ML Debut game. Brian B (bandro on SCN) had a signing with Dansby and got it signed for me with the inscription.
The Big Unit and Wood
Now that I have your attention with that crazy title, I have to say I am pretty excited about what came in today’s mail. First, I had sent a Craig Sager First Pitch insert card from the Topps Update series. Craig has been battling cancer and it arrived today signed beautifully. I wish him well in his fight.
Next was two packages from Tom Orr that he got signed at the recent Chicago Sun Times show. The first box had my 3,000 K baseball. I had all the living players who got 3,000 strikeouts except for Randy Johnson. Tom got Randy to sign the baseball with his 4875 K total. It looks awesome.
The other package from Tom had a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines in it. The first was the issue from 07.07.2003 that Kerry Wood signed. I just need Mark Prior to finish it. Also in this package was my 1980 US Olympic Hockey team signed SI. I had all the hockey players on it except for Mark Pavlich. Tom got Mark to sign it and it is now complete. I was nervous of the Olympic SI and the baseball being shipped but Tom and the USPS came through!
