Foulke It

Today I received a pair of items.  The first was a Time Magazine signed by Keith Foulke that I sent into a signing with Doug Keating of CardboardPromotions.com.  He had Keith sign it perfectly.

My other item was a 2015 Topps Chris Parmelee card signed perfectly in blue.  I got this card from Kevin H (justcrazy on SCN).

All in all a real nice day of mail!

Manny Being Manny Going for Gold

Today I picked up a box with three Sports Illustrated magazines I had sent to Donnie D (macey225 on SCN) who was going to the National.  I mailed him my 1980 US Olympic Hockey team SI to get Mark Johnson on it (I am now down to needing just John Pavelich) as well as two Manny Ramirez SI’s.  I had read where Manny was signing things really crappy so I was a little nervous on what signature I would get on them.  Turns out Donnie hit a grand slam for me.  The signature versions I got, especially his first SI cover, look pretty good compared to what I had seen.  He also took care of getting Swartz Sports holograms on them exactly where I wanted them.
The SI’s Donnie got signed for me are:
03.03.1980 Mark Johnson
07.05.2004 Manny Ramirez
04.01.1996 Manny Ramirez
I could not be happier.  Thanks a ton Donnie!

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose is a Rose

While on a short get away vacation with the family this weekend, I received a package on Friday which contained four Pete Rose magazines. I sent these magazines, plus one other, to Tom Orr for a signing a while ago.  The signing was rescheduled a couple times but Tom’s persistence got it done!  The magazines I received were all signed beautifully and were:
Sport, September, 1967
Home Run, 1969
Dell All Star Sports, May, 1974
Sport, June, 1974
I found one other one after I mailed these to him and sent them separately.  That one should be coming soon.  As always, Tom does a great job!
