Shaun and his crew at FanHQ do an amazing job for customers. Today I received my package of items I sent in for the Luis Arraez and Nelson Cruz signing events. They took my original package and used that for additional packaging to ensure my items arrive as perfect as possible. Plus, the items were signed perfectly! The Cruz item I got signed was the Sports Illustrated magazine from 10.24.2011. For Arraez, I got a ticket from 07.22.2019 signed with “Triple Play” and a bunch of cards. The cards are:
2020 Topps 612
2020 Allen & Ginter 240
2020 Gypsy Queen 203
2020 Topps Heritage 293
2021 Topps Heritage 322
Topps Now 2020 Opening Day OD-143
Topps Now 2021 Opening Day OD-132
Topps Now 2020 Postseason PS-45
Topps Now 07.22.2019 (Triple play card related to ticket)
I was pretty pumped when I saw these items!

Grandpa Rossy
Today I received my 10.10.2016 Sports Illustrated magazine back from Elite Icons Memorabilia where they were able to get Davis Ross to sign it. It now has eight autographs on it! I will probably never finish it because it has John Lackey, Anthony Rizzo, and Kris Bryant and they are tough, tough, tough! It is still a fun little project I started. I will take it as far as I can.
Laying Down The Law!
If you are a regular (one of the very few) reader of this blog, you probably remember Vinnie Miller as a person who I have worked with pretty consistently with to procure autographs for me. Vinnie does a lot of in person autographs but with COVID, he started doing private signings. I never would have thought that my Sports Illustrated magazines with Matt Lawton on the cover would ever get signed but, thanks to Vinnie, they did! I sent in three 04.30.2001 issues for the signing and received them back today!
A Slice of Piazza
Today I received some items I am very excited to add to my collection. I had a couple baseballs in my collection signed by Mike Piazza but that was it. When I saw he was doing a private signing, I knew I had to send in some items. So, I chose to send in some Sports Illustrated magazines. I sent in five magazines and received them back today. One got completely smudged so Chris R (rifon on CN) provided a refund on it. The others are:
07.05.1993
04.04.1994
08.21.2000
10.23.2000
I am really excited to have these signed. I look forward to sending more in next time Mike has a signing.
