Today I met up with Nick K to pick up the items he got signed for me from when the Yankees were in town last weekend. Nick nailed it for me as he got all but one item signed for me. He got the following items signed:
Carlos Beltran OMLB
Didi Gregorius OMLB
Austin Romine debut ticket
Rob Refsnyder debut ticket
Alex Rodriguez 07.08.1996 Sports Illustrated
Thanks for your efforts Nick!

Gettin’ Miggy Wit’ It
Today I received a really cool Sports Illustrated. I had sent it to Brad C (THEKID1 on SCN) for an event where Miguel Cabrera was going to be signing autographs. The price was steep but I figured if I was to get my 10.29.2012 regional issue SI signed by Miggy, this was my shot. Brad did an awesome job! It was signed perfectly and I could not be happier adding this future hall of famer’s autograph to the collection!
A Phil But Not For Long
Today I received a Sports Illustrated signed by Ryan Howard of the Phillies. He is probably going to be out of baseball at the end of this season but he did manage to have a private signing with Todd Schafer a couple weeks ago. Todd had my 11.2.2009 SI signed in blue Sharpie. I was hoping for a decent autograph since this was a sit down paid signing. If it is, Howard’s signature is worse than I thought!
The Kid
Today I received a Sports Illustrated magazine signed by one of the best to ever play the game, Ken Griffey Jr. Back when Griffey played for the Mariners I would go to all three games in the series when they visited the Twins. Not once did I ever see Griffey or A Rod sign for anyone. Fast forward years later I have purchased two different signed (and authenticated) Sports Illustrated magazines in the span of a few months. I am glad to get these and would love to find the rest of them. This one came from Lou B (loumud on SCN) and arrived beautifully signed and in great shape. A real nice addition to the collection!
