A HOF Trifecta!
Jamie B (jamieblye on SCN) was recently involved with a private signing with Roberto Alomar. Roberto was the last of three Hall of Famers I needed to sign my 2011 HOF Induction ticket. What makes this ticket cool is that it is postmarked from Cooperstown on induction weekend. It is a colorful ticket that granted media into “section 2” of the induction ceremony grounds. It is now completed with Bert Blyleven, Pat Gillick, and now Alomar all signing it and including “HOF 2011”.
Justin Time
Man, let me tell you… Fan HQ does an awesome job handling your autograph needs. I sent in three tickets to a private signing with Justin Morneau and they were returned today and they are awesome. I sent in a ticket from Justin’s last game and he included “Final Game” as well as a pair of tickets each already signed by Tony Bautista from the triple play on 05.27.2006. All are great and well done!
Go West Young Man
A long while ago Todd S (toddschafer on SCN) had a signing with Joe West. I sent in a couple baseballs and a ticket. I requested an inscription on a ball and the ticket and when I received the items, the inscription was missing on the ticket. I contacted Todd and he said he was going to see Joe to sign other items that did not make it in by the deadline and to send it back. I sent it back and waited. Todd got COVID and was on the shelf for a bit. He was finally able to reconnect with Joe West and add the inscription to the ticket. I received it today and am very pleased with how cool it turned out! The inscription is “5,164th MLB Game Umpired” “2nd Place All Time” and is on a ticket from the 08.15.2018 Twins game.
