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!

The Ryan Express
Today I received two different magazines I sent to have Nolan Ryan about a month ago. Nolan Ryan signs via the Nolan Ryan Foundation and is pretty reasonably priced and include his hologram. The magazines I got included:
06.16.1975 Sports Illustrated (first issue)
April 1980 Sport
Both signed beautifully in blue Sharpie!
Vacation Mail Day
One part of coming home that was actually fun was seeing all the mail piled up in the house. My in-laws are awesome and not only watched the crazy dog for us but also got the mail each day and kept watch of things at home. Going through the mail yielded the following items:
- Joc Peterson signed baseball I sent in to a private signing with this top prospect via Lojo Sports
- Bill Mazeroski to complete my 1961 Dell Sports Baseball Magazine. It has Maz, Whitey Ford, Bobby Richardson and Hal Smith on it and looks awesome.
- Roger Clemens, Frank Thomas, and Juan Lagares signed baseballs via a promotion Leaf Authentics ran at a nice price.
It was a nice run of mail to go through!
Cobra
Today I received a 05.30.1977 Sports Illustrated magazine I recently sent to Ohio Sports Memorabilia for a signing they were having with Dave Parker. I saw their listing on signingshotline.com and sent it to them not knowing much about the company. Wow! I am more than pleased! The event was on January 24th. I got it in three mail days! Not only that but it came with JSA certification on it too! The company did a great job and I am very pleased with it. I hope to watch for their future events based on the job they did this time around!
