Today I got two packages that had four autographs combined in them. They were both from private signings and turned out awesome.
The first was a package from my friend Robert T in Tulsa, OK who is friends with Charlie O’Brien. A week or so ago I got a book and baseball signed by Charlie and today I received my Sports Illustrated magazine from 05.23.1994. Charlie signed in perfectly with “Catch Ya Later”. It turned out perfect.
The other package had three perfect autographs. Chriss P (bigpog on SCN) lives near Cleveland, OH and got a baseball signed by Yan Gomes and the Indians version of the Sports Illustrated Baseball Preview issue from 03.30.2015 signed by both Corey Kluber and Michael Brantley. They all signed it perfectly!
The communication, care, and customer service of both these guys are top notch!

The Ryan Express
Today I received two different magazines I sent to have Nolan Ryan about a month ago. Nolan Ryan signs via the Nolan Ryan Foundation and is pretty reasonably priced and include his hologram. The magazines I got included:
06.16.1975 Sports Illustrated (first issue)
April 1980 Sport
Both signed beautifully in blue Sharpie!
Wacha Wacha Wacha is All (Wain)wright!
Today I received a package of a couple items that look absolutely awesome. Mark C (psugator01 on SCN) lives in Southern Florida and his home spring training team is the Cardinals. I met Mark last summer when he was up to MN for the All Star Fanfest and he has gotten things signed for me in the past. This spring he got me a ticket for Michael Wacha’s debut game signed in silver paint pen because the ticket is really dark. It looks awesome. And, if the looks of it isn’t enough, he got him to sign it with “MLB Debut”. It is perfect. I had also sent him my Sports Illustrated magazine from 05.27.2013 with the five Cardinals pitchers on the cover. It was already signed by Shelby Miller and Lance Lynn and Mark got Adam Wainwright to sign it. It now is signed by three of the five pitchers on the cover. It was signed perfectly too in the perfect spot with the perfect marker.
I could not be more pleased with the fine job Mark did for me. Thanks Mark!
