A WSMVP

Today I received a Sports Illustrated magazine I had sent to Doug K (4192HITS on SCN) for his signing event with 2018 World Series MVP Steve Pearce. I already had one of these magazines signed by Pearce but at Doug’s prices, I could not pass up sending my last unsigned magazine to him. Steve signed it beautifully in silver paint pen and include 2018 WS MVP under his name.

Nice Way To End The Year!

Today I received a couple multi signed items that received the final signature to complete them.
The first was a Twins at Angels ticket from 08.08.1983. The Twins turned a triple play in the game and I already had Gary Gaetti and Kent Hrbek on it. Guy P (gpuglia on SCN) had a signing with John Castino so I sent it in. Castino was the last person I needed on it to finish all three players involved in the triple play.
The other item was the 09.24.2018 Sports Illustrated. I already had one signed by all four people shown on the cover but since I was able to finish another, I thought “Why not?” so I sent it to Carlton Fisk. He signed it and now it is signed by Mike Torrez, Don Denkinger, Carlton Fisk, and Bucky Dent. This is my second completed one and I have one more that has everyone but Torrez on it. Someday I will go for the trifecta!
Happy New Year!

Not Chapped

Today I received a couple Sports Illustrated magazines in the mail. The first was my 10.10.2016 issue that was already signed by five Cubs players from the World Series Champion team. I was able to get Aroldis Chapman to sign it via a private signing with Josh R out of Chicago. That brings me up to six different players on the cover.
The other issue was a 08.16.1994 issue signed beautifully by Eddie Mathews. It is the 40th anniversary issue and depicted the original issue on the cover. I bought this from Eric A via Facebook.
