Today I received a real nice box of goodies I had sent in to Tom Orr for the Chicago Sports Spectacular. I have worked with Tom MANY times and have never been disappointed and this time was no different. I was able to get a Baseball/1975 magazine with Lou Brock on the cover signed. It has a cool photo of Lou sliding back to first base after a pickoff attempt. I also got the 03.05.2012 Sports Illustrated signed by Ozzie Guillen and my 300 win baseball signed by Tom Glavine with ” 305 W’s”. All items are awesome! Thanks Tom!

Don’t Be MAD, BUSTER!
Mill Creek Sports started their Black Friday deals a few days ago. One of the items they had on sale was the 04.20.2018 Sports Illustrated Giants issue signed by Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner. It was at a price that was really too good to be true so I bought it. It is Becket certified and is beautiful! I am excited to add this issue to the collection!
For Scher(zer)!
Today I received a nice package and had another dropped off. The package that was mailed to me had my 11.09.2015 Sports Illustrated in it. It now has six autographs on it with Luke Hochevar being added via a signing with Doug B (dugoutdug on SCN). Doug did a great job with it and getting back in the mail to me real fast.
My other item received today was from Nick K. Nick lives near me and goes to the hotel and ballpark chasing autographs. Earlier in the season he was able to get Willians Astudillo to sign his 2019 Topps Heritage card. When the Nationals were in town towards the end of the season he was able to get Max Scherzer(!) to sign the 04.28.2014 Sports Illustrated at the hotel. He said Max was a little tipsy and was willing to sign. He also got Brian Dozier to sign the ticket when he hit three home runs for me at the same time. I am REALLY excited to add Max on that SI to my collection. I have sent that issue to no less than five people to try to get it signed. Thanks for all your work Nick!
Fabulous Fisk
Today I received an awesome return of a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines from 9/24/2018 from Carlton Fisk. The cover features Bucky Dent hitting his famous home run off the Red Sox. The photo shows Don Denkinger, Bucky Dent, Carlton Fisk, and Mike Torrez. I have it signed by everyone but Torrez now. Carlton signed it perfectly for a nice donation to his favorite charity, The Cancer Support Center. I am excited to have a pair of magazines almost done by all four of the players on the cover!
