Today I received a triple play of tickets signed by Boof Bonser. Michael T (goodbyehalloween on SCN) had a private signing with Boof and I sent in three tickets. He signed each with “MLB Debut” and they look perfect! I may have been at this game as I had a bunch of tickets for it. I cannot remember all the games I have been to in the past but I doubt I would have bought four tickets to a game where Boof made his debut. I certainly do not remember Boof coming in the game or anything memorable like that though!

Kent Hrbeck
Today I received a great package of items that I had sent to Kent Hrbek to sign. I spelled his name incorrectly in the title on purpose as one of the items I got signed, a 1983 Ajax Dog Food card, had his name spelled incorrectly. It has a blank back and is really a unique item. He signed it beautifully in blue Sharpie. The other two items I sent to him was a Baseball Digest from November, 1982 and a final Metrodome Opening Day ticket that was already signed by Gary Gaetti. What a fun package to open for a Minnesota Twins fan!
A Solid Mail Day
Today I received something I was pretty excited about for a while. Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) was recently involved in a private signing with young superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. A while ago I traded a couple tickets to a guy for a sheet of 2019 Padres Opening Week tickets directly from the season ticket book. The opening week had Tatis Jr’s debut (03.28.2019) and his first home run (04.01.2019) and both tickets were on the sheet. I sent it in and got each ticket signed and each with Beckett Witness stickers as well as “MLB Debut” and “1st HR” inscriptions. I sent a picture of it to Caden as soon as I opened it and he replied “That’s sexy” so I guess it passes what a 19 year old thinks is sexy!
The other item I received today was a ticket stub to the 06.09.1999 Twins game signed by Jacque Jones. Jacque is signing via PastPros.com and I sent the ticket and received it with his name and “MLB Debut”.
Not a bad day!
Nice Way To End The Year!
Today I received a couple multi signed items that received the final signature to complete them.
The first was a Twins at Angels ticket from 08.08.1983. The Twins turned a triple play in the game and I already had Gary Gaetti and Kent Hrbek on it. Guy P (gpuglia on SCN) had a signing with John Castino so I sent it in. Castino was the last person I needed on it to finish all three players involved in the triple play.
The other item was the 09.24.2018 Sports Illustrated. I already had one signed by all four people shown on the cover but since I was able to finish another, I thought “Why not?” so I sent it to Carlton Fisk. He signed it and now it is signed by Mike Torrez, Don Denkinger, Carlton Fisk, and Bucky Dent. This is my second completed one and I have one more that has everyone but Torrez on it. Someday I will go for the trifecta!
Happy New Year!
