Adventures in Autograph Collecting
Today I received a Baseball Magazine from October 1979 that was sent to Jeremy P (WVU Rocks on SCN) for his signing with Bill Mazeroski. Bill signed it exactly as I wished he would have on his image.
Jeremy even took a photo of Maz signing my magazine!
It turned out great. It is now signed by both Don Larsen and now Maz. Thanks Jeremy!
Today I received half of what I sent to have signed by Vincent Velasquez via a signing with Todd S (toddschafer on SCN). Todd is handling a couple items for me coming up in a few signings and the first one was a baseball signed by Vince as well as a rookie card that he shared with Ryan O’Rourke who signed it at Twinsfest. I received the baseball today but he forgot the card and said he will get that signed next time he sees Vince. For now, I have a nicely signed baseball from Vincent Velasquez.
Today I received the second package from Isaias F (franco858 on SCN) and he did not disappoint! This package contained the remaining items I had sent in for his private signing with Rod Carew:
3 2015 Gypsy Queen cards (one for me and each of the kids)
2 Hall of Fame Postcards
1967 Topps Rookie card! My last Rod Carew card I needed to complete the run of Carew Topps Twins cards!
Petersen’s ’78 Pro Baseball magazine
Street & Smith’s Official 1978 Baseball Yearbook
04.10.1978 Sports Illustrated
I am pleased with how everything turned out. Thanks Franco! You did a great job!
Today I received a pair of the ESPN magazine issue where it featured four Twins players on the cover that Darrell H (thehalk on SCN) got Doug Mientkiewicz to sign. They are both now half done… signed by Doug and Jacque Jones. I still need to add Torii and AJ.
