That’s Just The Ticket!

Today I received a couple tickets I had sent in to a couple private signings.

The first is one that I really wanted for a while.  My friend Steve C gave me a ticket from Game 3 of the 2013 World Series.  That was the game where third base umpire Jim Joyce called obstruction on the third basemen which allowed Allen Craig to score from third with the winning run.  I saw where Craig was doing a signing with St Louis Sports Co (stlsportsco on SCN) so I immediately set it up to send it in.  The ticket was signed exactly as I requested and turned out awesome!  Craig signed it with “Obstruction Call Winning Run”.  I could not be happier!

The other package I got in had a pair of tickets from Jose Abreu’s major league debut.  I bought the tickets right after the game and when Paul B (pabs82 on SCN) announced he was having a private signing with him, I jumped at the chance to send them in.  I also bought a Sports Illustrated he provided that I will get in the next couple days.  The tickets I received today were signed with the marker I sent in and everything.  They look perfect!

All in all a great day of autographed tickets!

SI Day!

Today was a great day for my Sports Illustrated collection.  I received two packages that had SI’s in them.  The first was my 2012 issue that featured three Baltimore Orioles on the cover.  It was signed by Adam Jones and Nick Markakis already and just needed Endy Chavez.  My friend Greg N (justgreg on SCN) was able to get him to finish it off as Endy is now playing for the Tacoma Rainiers (Greg’s home team).  Greg was awesome and got it signed a day or two after he got it.  One of the fastest turnaround times ever!  THANK YOU for everything Greg!

The next package contained a pair of the same issue that Sergio Romo signed for me.  J Carr (graphmanj on SCN) was involved in a signing via LOJO Sports and got the pair of 2012 issues signed by Sergio for me.

That’s the ticket by George!

Today I received my 3000th hit ticket signed by George Brett in the mail.  I am stoked!  I had this ticket for a while and George does not do many shows but Tom Orr (orr23mj on SCN) got a private signing with him so I knew I had to send in the ticket.  I got the inscription 3000th Hit on it too.  It turned out great.  Tom does a great job and takes care of your items as if they were his.  Thanks Tom!

Lenny Lenny!

Today I received my Lenny Webster card from a signing Chris Potter had.  It is the 1994 Topps #252.  I liked this card because it was one of the few cards which featured a Twins player in their home uniform.  The problem at the Metrodome was the lighting so there are not many Twins cards in the 90’s with the player in their home uniform.  This card officially closes the book on my Lenny Webster needs for my Twins project too!
