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!

Mad Dog

Today I received a really neat item that I was a little afraid to send via mail. Nate Rupp (Baseball Signings group on Facebook) had a signing with Greg Maddux and I got my 300 win baseball signed. Greg signed it with “355 W’s” in the exact location I requested. It looks great. There is only one living 300 game winner I need on the baseball and that is Nolan Ryan with 324. I sent a magazine to get signed by Mad Dog as well. I expect that to arrive this week still.
Another package I received was my Brendan McKay debut ticket. Joey H (jhenderson1675 on SCN) had a signing with McKay and I sent in my ticket. I had requested, and paid for, an inscription of MLB Debut 06.30.2019 but did not get it. That happens sometimes. I would have liked it on this ticket because it was a make up date and the date on the ticket is the day before (but this ticket was good for admission on the 30th) but it did not work out.

A Grand(al) Day!

Today’s mail brought a pair of debut tickets signed by Yasmani Grandal. BM Authentics (Brian Meltzer owns it) had a signing and I sent in a pair of tickets. I had a season ticket I requested signed in silver paint pen with MLB Debut and just his name on the box office. I gotta say, the season ticket with the inscription is PERFECT! Absolutely breathtaking how it turned out! Kudos to Brian and his crew!

A First

Today I received a baseball of what some might say is a baseball pioneer. In mid-November, 2020, Kim Ng was hired by the Florida Marlins to become the first female general manager in baseball history. I sent her a baseball via the team requesting her autograph and inscription of “1st MLB Female GM” and she did not disappoint.
The other package I received was a pair of items from a private signing that Jake R (Kowbyz8 on SCN) had with Randy Arozarena. I got a baseball and debut ticket (with ML Debut inscription) both JSA’d signed at the event.
