Today’s mail brought a great package from a local signing I could not attend. Jamie B (jamieblye on SCN) took care of getting Paul Molitor to sign a full season ticket from his 3,000th hit game with inscription for me. He also added Brooks Robinson to my 10.19.1970 Sports Illustrated magazine. I now have had three guys on the cover to sign it!

A Cuddy and a Pair of Aggies
Today I received a pair of envelopes with signed cards in them. The first was from a private signing Shaun H (via fanhqstore.com) with Michael Cuddyer. Unfortunately, I screwed up and sent in a card I already had signed. I needed one more card and it turned out I sent in one I already had. I will wait for the next signing Shaun has with Cuddy to get the 2011 Allen & Ginter card signed.
The other envelope contained a pair of Rick Aguilera cards that Jesus C (jeserone on SCN) got signed for me at a recent event where Aggie attended. Jess lives in California and has hooked me up in the past. The two Aggie cards are the last two I needed for my signed Twins card project. They are the 1998 Topps #95 and the 1999 Topps #158. Both were signed beautifully in blue Sharpie.
Edgar!
Today I received an SI I sent in to a private signing back on February 17th. Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) has diligently been working with Edgar Renteria waiting for him to come to the States (he lives out of the country) and the day finally came where Tom could meet up with him and get the items signed. My item is a 11.03.1997 issue celebrating the Marlins’ World Series win. It looks great and was well worth the wait!
A Pair of SIs
Today brought a bunch of packages but only two had items that were signed. They were both Sports Illustrated magazines.
The first package was a return from a Sure Shot Promotions show where they had Jason Varitek signing. Jason was on the cover of the 10.25.1999 issue and he signed it real nice in blue Sharpie.
The second package contained the 03.03.1975 issue that I sent to Gary Nolan. It was already signed by Clay Carroll and Jack Billingham. It is now signed by Mr Nolan too. He even returned my donation I sent to him! Thanks Mr Nolan!
