Philling Me With Happy

Today I received another Sports Illustrated signed by Rhys Hoskins, Aaron Nola, and JT Realmuto that was facilitated by Pat Neshek. When I received my first SI, I noticed the red printing was off a little and it looked a little weird. Also, Pat started offering BAS authentication and I thought it would be cool to have that on it as well so I sent an other issue. Pat is doing collectors a huge service my facilitating getting autographs from his teammates. Thanks Pat!
Also arriving today was a pair of baseball cards that have been to a couple different people with Robert A (elpasodiablos on SCN) finally getting them signed for me! Pat Dean was with the Twins a couple years ago and then went to Korea to play baseball and is back in the States playing for the Albuquerque Isotopes (Rockies AAA team) and they recently visited El Paso where Robert got them signed for me. The cards are:
2016 Topps Heritage
2016 Topps
Thanks Robert!

Slammin’ Sammy

Today I received three items I had sent in to Tom Orr’s private signing with Sammy Sosa. They turned out amazing! I got a baseball done as well as two Sports Illustrated magazines. In fact, one SI, the Sportsmen of the Year issue from December 21, 1998 went through Tom years ago for Mark McGwire. It is now complete with both cover guys signing it. The other SI I got signed was from August 25, 2003. I had all three come with Beckett Witness certification. They look awesome! Thanks Tom!
