Adventures in Autograph Collecting
Today I received a pair of items. The first was a baseball signed by John Denny with 1983 NL Cy Young inscription. I bought it from Greg W (gwbaseball on SCN) from a signing he had a number of years ago with Denny. Denny is a pretty difficult signer so I am happy to get his autograph.
The other item I got was a ML Debut ticket for Archie Bradley I sent to Graham H (Graham31004 on SCN). Archie signed it with “MLB Debut 4-11-15”.
A couple nice items received today!
Today I received a pair of ESPN magazines I sent to Darrell H (thehalk on SCN) for his private signing with Jacque Jones. I already have the magazine signed by all four players on the cover but it is one of my favorite covers and thought it would look cool in blue Sharpie (my other one is black) so I sent him a pair. They look awesome. Jacque has a pretty cool autograph.
Today I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by CC Sabathia. Last year Mike C (luckymike32 on SCN) scheduled a private signing with Sabathia but because he went on the DL and did not make the trip to Kansas City, the signing never happened. This year he made the trip with the Yankees and Mike was able to schedule the signing. I got the 04.06.2009 and 04.25.2013 issues signed in perfect blue Sharpie. Thanks Mike!
Today I got two packages that had four autographs combined in them. They were both from private signings and turned out awesome.
The first was a package from my friend Robert T in Tulsa, OK who is friends with Charlie O’Brien. A week or so ago I got a book and baseball signed by Charlie and today I received my Sports Illustrated magazine from 05.23.1994. Charlie signed in perfectly with “Catch Ya Later”. It turned out perfect.
The other package had three perfect autographs. Chriss P (bigpog on SCN) lives near Cleveland, OH and got a baseball signed by Yan Gomes and the Indians version of the Sports Illustrated Baseball Preview issue from 03.30.2015 signed by both Corey Kluber and Michael Brantley. They all signed it perfectly!
The communication, care, and customer service of both these guys are top notch!
