Today I received a couple items signed by the top prospect in all of baseball Jurickson Profar. Felipe R (htowngrapher on SCN) had a private signing with Profar and I was able to get a ticket to his Major League debut as well as a baseball signed. Both items had “MLB Debut” on them with the baseball having the date. These turned out really nice and I am excited to have Profar in my collection!

Be My Valentine!
Today I received three items to add to my autograph collection. The first was the Bobby Valentine regional Sports Illustrated magazine. I sent it to Scott S (the SI King) for a private signing he was doing. It turned out great!
I also received a baseball I sent to a player who only played one game in the Major Leagues, John Paciorek. He signed the baseball about his game and what he has done since his baseball career finished. It is a neat baseball!
Lastly I received an Andy Pettitte baseball I bought from Justin M (jwm202 on SCN).
Maddog and Killer
Today I received my 3000 Strikeout baseball that I sent in to a LOJO private signing with Greg Maddux. I added Maddog with his 3371 K’s inscription. I now have all the living pitchers with 3000 strikeouts except Randy Johnson. I hope to get him on it someday.
I also received a 1964 Topps AL HR Leaders card signed by Harmon Killebrew that I bought off eBay. It is PSA encapsulated.
A Sticky Mess?
I recently sent in a couple items to a private signing that my pal Robert T (lutherlafy on SCN) had with some baseball players from the Tulsa, OK area. Today I received them and they could not have turned out any better!
As a follow up to my Tim McClelland “George Brett Pine Tar Game” story ball, Robert got me a story ball with George Frazier to write about his memories. Before George played for the Twins and won a World Championship with them (1987), he pitched for the Yankees. Once the baseball commissioner decided to have the Pine Tar Game resumed, George was to go out and pitch the top of the 9th inning against the Royals. Keep in mind this was almost a month after the start of the game. George took up two panels writing about his memory of the conclusion of the game.
Also being received and pretty much as cool as the Frazier ball was two full tickets to Dylan Bundy’s ML Debut game. Dylan is a highly rated rookie in the Orioles organization and signed each ticket with “ML Debut”.
A couple awesome items from Robert today! Thanks pal!
