Today I received a Sports Illustrated magazine I bought from Jamie B (jamieblye on SCN) that was signed by Ron Darling. I already had two signed issues that were obtained through the mail but they did not match up to the in person Jamie got at a recent sports show. It has long been assumed that Ron used a ghost signer via his home. I had sent these before I knew about the ghost signer. They will end up in the trash and will be replaced by the one Jamie got signed.

A Royally Nice Magazine
Today I received my 1986 Royals Triumph Sports Illustrated that was signed by Steve Balboni from Mike C (luckymike32 on SCN). There was a Royals Alumni event in KC that he attended and was able to get Frank White, Willie Wilson, and Daryl Motley added to it. It looks great and Mike has done a great job for me in the past and I hope to work with him again down the road. Thanks Mike!
Hey Coach!
Today I received my 09.27.2010 Sports Illustrated back from a private signing that Jeff F (haleysdaddy0304 on SCN) had with Jerry White. My SI was already signed by Jim Thome so to add Jerry was really nice. I had an issue already that was signed by Jerry and Thome but the Thome autograph was not one of his best. Since this issue is one of my favorite covers, I wanted a better one. I traded the other one a few months ago and kept the one I had of just Thome. Jeff made sure Jerry signed it in the perfect spot and it looks great!
The Dr Is In
Today I received a pair of packages in the mail. The first was a 02.27.1995 Sports Illustrated magazine signed by Doc Gooden. I thought I had all the issues signed by Doc but found that I had this issue but the Canada version and needed the USA version so I found a real nice newsstand copy and sent it to Cardboard Promotions (Doug Keating- 4192HITS on SCN) for his signing last weekend with Doc. The Canada version is signed in silver paint pen and it looks nice but I wanted to do something different with this one so I went with gold. It turned out great!
The other package I received today was some baseballs and baseball cards I purchased Jordan S (jordan23royals on SCN). They were:
Mickey Moniak “2016 #1 pick”
Dansby Swanson
Phil Bickford “1st Round 2015”
The cards are 2015 Topps Minor League Heritage:
61 Amed Rosario
64 Brent Honeywell
70 Adam Walker
107 Jack Flaherty
109 Roman Quinn
216 Jose Berrios
All are signed BEAUTIFULLY and I hope to get back to Jordan again soon to purchase more items from him!
