Today Frank Viola came through for me! I had mailed an oversized season ticket from the final game at the Metrodome that showed Frank on it and he signed it and included the following inscriptions: “87 WS MVP”, “88 AL MVP”, and “Sweet Music”. It looks awesome! Now I need to add Joe Mauer to it to completed it!

A Beautiful Meadow
LGC Sports Marketing recently had a private signing with Austin Meadows. Today I received a pair of tickets I sent in for the signing… The first ticket was a debut ticket and asked for “ML Debut” inscription and the other was his first home run ticket and asked for “1st ML HR” inscription. I asked for them to be signed using a silver paint pen and boy, do these tickets look awesome. Since both events happened in Pittsburgh, the tickets had a black background and the autograph and inscriptions look amazing. I am really pleased with these new additions to my collection!
From India With Love
Today I received an awesome package of items from Vincent B (Lucky’s Sports Cards and Memorabilia) who recently had a signing with Jonathan India. Lucky’s is the exclusive promoter of India’s autographs, etc and I could not be happier with the items I received today! I got two baseballs and two debut tickets, one with “MLB Debut,” and they all look fantastic! I got JSA on each item but Lucky’s also has an exclusive hologram as well. Vincent must be a collector too as he does things right!
Ain’t No Chicken!
Today I received a great pair of packages for the collection! The first item was something I saw online that I knew I had to get and then get it signed. Super7 started a line of mini mascot action figures and one of the figures they created was one of The Famous San Diego Chicken. I remember The Chicken being on the Baseball Bunch and This Week In Baseball when I was a kid. To come across an action figure like this was awesome! I bought it and sent it to Ted G and received it back today. He signed it with “Good Cluck!” How awesome is that?
My second package was from a private signing Brian M of BM Authentics had with Yermin Mercedes. I acquired a ticket from the White Sox/Angels game on April 3 when Yermin ended up going 8 for 8 to start the season setting a new record. I got the ticket signed with “8-8 To Start Season” along with a baseball. Both have Beckett Witnessed Authentication.
What a fun day of mail!
