Today I received four items I had sent to Isaias F (franco858 on SCN) for his private signing with Pete Rose. I had sent in seven Sports Illustrated magazines to Franco for his private signing a couple years ago. Since then I picked up a few things and sent them for his latest signing. I received them back and they look great! They are:
10.1979 Baseball Magazine (already signed by Don Larsen and Bill Mazeroski)
09.07.1970 Sports Illustrated (already signed by Bud Harrelson– I did not realize it is Pete Rose on the bottom of the magazine until recently)
08.1968 Sport
1970 Famous Slugger Yearbook (already signed by Rod Carew)
I am excited to add these awesome items to my collection!

Not Joshin’ You
Today I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Josh Beckett. I had sent them to Isaias F (franco858 on SCN) for his private signing with Josh. They turned out great and Franco did a great job (as always)!
A Big SI Trade
A few years ago I made a trade with fellow Sports Illustrated collector Tim McMahon and we were both happy. He contacted me again recently and asked if I wanted to do another trade so we worked one out. Today I received the following Sports Illustrated magazines:
04.10.1961 Jackie Brandt
02.12.1973 Bill Melton
10.19.1987 Greg Gagne
06.06.1988 Larry Bowa
and the following Sports Illustrated for Kids:
04.1992 Sandy Alomar Jr
I look forward to another trade with Tim down the road!
A Fairly Nice Return
Today I received a Sports Illustrated magazine from 09.02.1963 signed beautifully by Ron Fairly. He signed it with his typical “Best Wishes”. It looks great and was a real nice issue I had in the collection for a while. He even returned my donation! Thanks Ron!
