Ohhhh Boy! What a Box!

Wow! What can I saw about the box I received today? Holy smokes? That does not give it justice!
My buddy Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) has long been one of my go to guys for autographs. I usually send him a dozen balls and let him get who he thinks are prospects, etc. This year I sent him the balls but also some cards and tickets. He came through big time for me!
The baseballs he got signed for me are:
Cade Cavalli
Jacob Young
Alan Roden
Ezequiel Tovar
Jake Bennett
Dylan Crews
Owen Murphy
Jackson Holliday
Yohandy Morales
Jake Alu
Anthony Solometo
Michael Toglia
You read that right! The TOP TWO PROSPECTS IN ALL OF BASEBALL!!!! Wow!
If that was not enough, he got Mackenzie Gore to sign his debut ticket as well as Luis Arraez sign four cards I needed for my Topps Project!
Chris is the MAN! He, and I, are already excited for next season! Thanks pal!

I Shantz Not Be Sad!

I recently received a Baseball Digest back signed by Bobby Shantz. Bobby was on the cover twice and I had to track down the first one he was on. It proved difficult to find a nice one but I did and today I received it back signed. Bobby signed my August, 1952 issue beautifully and included “1952 AL MVP” which is cool since it is the year he won it!
I also received a pair of signed tickets today! A buddy of mine sent me a pair of tickets from the June 14, 2023 Giants at Cardinals game from when Luis Matos made his Major League debut. I noticed Luis was doing a signing with Mike C (Mac6185 on SCN) and sent them in. Mike got Luis to sign them beautifully with “MLB Debut”. They are fantastic!

Don’t Mess With Me Buster!

What a fun mail day today! I received a trifecta of items. The first I opened was a pair of Buster Posey Sports Illustrated magazines. Nik Key helped facilitate a signing with MLB Alumni that Buster joined in. I mailed a replacement magazine from the previous signing where they placed the MLB Hologram in a goofy location as well as the 11.08.2010 issue which features Posey and Brian Wilson on the cover. What is great about receiving the 2010 issue today is that Brian Wilson is doing a signing in a couple weeks so I will be able to finish that magazine with the signature of both players on it! Watch for that post in a couple weeks!
The next item I opened was a Danny Jackson Baseball Digest from December, 1988. Danny signed it in blue Sharpie and it looks great!
The last package I opened had a couple tickets that came back from a signing event that Mike C (Mac6185 on SCN) participated in where most of the cast from the Sandlot movie took part in as well as Harold Baines. I sent in a ticket from Harold Baines’ MLB Debut game which he signed and inscribed “MLB Debut”. His signature is garbage but it is what it is. The Sandlot item was a Japanese movie ticket and each actor pictured on the ticket signed it with their name and their character name. Those who signed it include:
Shane Obedzinski (Repeat)
Tom Guriy (Smalls)
Grant Gelt (Bertram)
Marty York (Yeah-Yeah)
Brandon Adams (Kenny DeNunez)
Victor DiMattia (Timmy)
All I need to complete it is:
Patrick Renna (Ham Porter)
Chauncey Leopardi (Squints)
and Mike Vitar (Benny The Jet Rodriguez). Vitar never signs so it will never have his autograph on it.
It is a cool little ticket with just enough perfect room for the remaining two realistic signers!
