Today I received a couple packages with cards I needed for my Twins card sets. The first was a 2012 Allen & Ginter Ben Revere card. I got this card signed via a private signing at Carl’s Cards and Collectibles in Havertown, PA. The other was a package with a couple Kevin Slowey cards. Marc M (mesarosfamily on SCN) got these signed during Spring Training and we traded for a couple 1974 cards.

Magazine Day!
Today I received four autographed Sports Illustrated magazines acquired in various ways.
First, I purchased the 2013 Baseball Preview issue with “Big Game James” Shield on the cover from Jordan B (royalsFan19 on SCN). Jordan is one of two guys who work the Royals and their opponents for me. He does a great job!
Next I received a Jonny Gomes regional issue from right after the Boston Marathon bombing. Jonny signed it via a signing with Scott Smith (SIKing). Also in the envelope was a pair of autographed issues from 1980 US Hockey gold medalist Mike Eruzione. Scott got Mike to sign the issue at Michael Jordan’s golf tournament in Lake Tahoe earlier this month.
All in all a nice day of SIs!
Benny and the Jets
I recently sent a few Sports Illustrated magazines to Scott Smith, The SI King, for his upcoming consignments and signings. Today I received back the first of three packages. It was a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Benito Santiago. Of course, when you deal with Scott, you get top notch service and this time was no different. I received them packaged really well and shipped really fast. They are great additions to my collection! Thanks Scott!
A Cy of Relief
Today I received a baseball signed by R.A. Dickey. Dickey is the 2012 NL Cy Young Award winner and his autograph is real nice on the sweetspot of the baseball. I received it via a private signing with Craig N (craigbnyman on SCN).
