There was recently an autograph event that had a number of former Detroit Tigers in attendance. Chris R (rifon on SCN) was taking items to get signed so I sent him a couple items for Jack Morris and one for Miguel Cabrera. For Jack, I sent a Hall of Fame postcard and the April, 1985 Baseball Digest. For Miggy, I sent in a 3,000th hit ticket. Miggy likes to sign these tickets with 3000 hits instead of 3000th Hit so I was a little nervous about sending it in but Chris did a fantastic job with my items! Miggy signed the ticket exactly as I wanted! All items look great and I could not have been happier!

Hey Bert!
Every day is a great day to receive a Hall of Famer’s autograph but today was especially great because of the quantity of items from Bert Blyleven. It took just seven days to get back the following items signed exactly as requested by Bert:
07.16.2011 Twins Ticket w/”#28 Retired”
1973/1974/1976/1986 Topps Wendy’s cards
2011 Baseball Hall of Fame Yearbook w/”HOF 2011″
I am so excited on each of these!
I also received the June, 1988 Baseball Digest that I just got back signed by Bret Saberhagen now signed by Mark Gubicza. He returned my donation and included his full signature instead of his typical “G”.
Lastly, Ryan S (Rls2239 on SCN) had a private signing with Jake Odorizzi. I sent in the last cards I needed signed by Jake to complete all the Twins cards I needed. I received:
2019 Topps #63
2020 Topps #409
05.10.2019 Topps Now #210
2020 Topps New Road To Opening Day #OD-146
Great day!
Slammin’ Sammy & Great Scott!
Today’s mail brought in a couple real nice items! So nice that I had signature confirmation on it so I knew where it landed if it wasn’t me. Mike C (Mac6185 on SCN) assisted with getting a couple items done for me at a show recently. I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines as well as a completion to my 2023 Hall of Fame Induction ticket. Mike was able to get Sammy Sosa to sign my 09.21.1998 SI in blue Sharpie and 07.02.2018 in silver paint pen. He got Scott Rolen to sign my 2023 HOF Induction ticket perfectly to match the already signed Fred McGriff on it. It looks really sweet! I am excited to knock these off and add them to my collection!
The Count!
John Montefusco was a solid pitcher for the Giants, among other teams, even winning the 1975 NL Rookie of the Year award! Chris R (rifon on SCN) was offering a signing with Montefusco so I sent in my May, 1977 Baseball Digest. Today I received it signed beautifully!
