Spring Has Sprung!

One thing about being a member of so many collecting sites, I really have a lot of contacts in different parts of the country.  One such person is Josh S (jslaw on SCN).  Josh is going to school in Florida and this is the third spring I have sent consignments to him for Spring Training.  He does an awesome job and gets really hard to get people.  He treats my items as his own.  Today I received the first package of items he got for me so far this spring.  It included the following:

  • Jose Bautista baseball
  • Anthony Gose baseball
  • Brandon Beachy baseball
  • Craig Kimbrell baseball
  • Mike Stanton ML Debut ticket
  • Julio Teheran ML Debut ticket
  • Anthony Gose ML Debut ticket
  • Mike Matheny Sports Illustrated (completing the issue already signed by Mark Bellhorn)
  • Roy Halladay Sports Illustrated (completing the issue already signed by Josh Johnson and Ubaldo Jimenez)
  • Cole Hamels Sports Illustrated
  • Ryan Howard Sports Illustrated
  • Jon Jay Sports Illustrated
  • Edwardo Nunez Sports Illustrated

That is a pretty good list of All Stars and others!  Thanks Josh for the past, present and future consignments and caring for my items as if they were your own!

Merry Christmas To Me!

Actually, Merry Christmas to everyone (all two of you who reads this)!

Today’s mail brought an MVP and a 30 Game Winner!  First, Jamie B (jamieblye on SCN) attended a fundraiser for a local Michigan Food Shelf where Denny McLain was signing autographs for donations.  I sent him a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines and he got one signed for me!

The other package was awesome.  This past summer Josh Hamilton was on the cover of a Sports Illustrated magazine so I sent it off to him.  I received it just in time to be my Christmas present from him.  Josh is one of the best signers in the game for as good of a player he is.  Thanks Josh!
