Today’s mail brought a full ticket from Game 7 of the 1986 World Series that I sent to have Ray Knight sign. I got a real good deal on 1986 World Series Game 6 and 7 tickets so I thought I would get them signed. They are in really rough shape though. Rough as in folded in someone’s pocket and beat up pretty good. I had Ray sign it with 1986 WS MVP. Chris R (rifon on SCN) hooked me up with the autograph and inscription and did a fine job with it!

A Cycle!
Today I added a signature to a ticket I got in trade a while ago. I had been waiting for Larry Hisle to show up at a signing event and Mark G (hofcs on SCN) took my cycle ticket to that event. I sent a marker since the ticket is fairly small and instructions on where to sign it. They were executed perfectly! The name and Cycle inscription are in the perfect locations! The ticket looks awesome!
A Pair of HOFers and a Pitcher
Today was a fun day of mail! I received my signed book written by Rock n Roll Hall of Famer Stevie Van Zandt, “Unrequited Infactuations” that I ordered via Backstreets.com! Little Steven signed it “Miami Steve” which is an interesting choice but I enjoyed the Springsteen book so much I thought it would be cool to get this one. I look forward to reading it!
The other Hall of Famer I got today was Roberto Alomar. Jamie Blye, yet again, assisted in handling my stuff to get signed. Jamie always does a great job with my items. This time I got a Hall of Fame postcard that was stamped at the Cooperstown Post Office on Induction Day signed as well as the April 1992 Sports Illustrated for Kids issue. The SI for Kids was already signed by Sandy Alomar so it is cool to get it finished by the Alomar brothers!
The final thing I got today was my debut ticket signed by Domingo German. Domingo signed it in nice silver paint pen with “MLB Debut”. Lucky’s Sportscards had Domingo in for a signing at the end of the season.

“Touch ’em all, Joe”
Blue Jays announcer Tom Cheek cried those words at the end of Game 6 of the 1993 World Series when Joe Carter hit a Series walk off home run. Today I received my small piece of that moment when Joe Carter returned my ticket stub from that game signed beautifully. A while ago I came across a guy selling his 1992 & 1993 post season tickets on Facebook. He was a really nice guy who ended up calling me via the Facebook app and we talked about it for an hour. He was real happy his tickets were going to a collector who would appreciate them. I was really nervous about sending this ticket in the mail as it was the best and most valuable in the lot I bought. I had included a donation eight times what his typical requested amount was hoping for an inscription and to at least get it back. While I did not get the inscription I wanted I did get it back and get it back signed and that was worth it to me!
