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.
Big Mac
Today I received my 04.04.1988 Sports Illustrated magazine that was already signed by Will Clark but now is also signed by Mark McGwire. Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) had a private signing with Big Mac and I sent in this issue to finish it off. It looks great! Tom always does a fantastic job with my stuff.
