Pretty Fulgy of Him

Today I received a 1981 Topps card signed by John Fulgham. It is not what I wanted. I sent a ticket to John from his Major League debut game along with the $5 he requires per autograph and a new Sharpie paying the extra in postage, etc. He kept my ticket and sent me the card. I am pretty disappointed since he has a fee for his autograph. I was going to send it back and ask for my $5 back but then I would be out the cost of postage and he probably would not send anything back. #ClownMove

More Debuts!

Today I received two more debut tickets. The first was Brian Bark from 07.06.1995 at the Metrodome. The other was Keith Garagozzo from 04.05.1994 also at the Metrdome. In both cases, I am sure these were my tickets and I attended the games but I do not remember any specifics about their debuts.

Debut Tickets!

Today I received three debut tickets that I sent out to be signed. I recently came across a website that listed players Major League debut dates and compared those dates to my list of trader ticket stubs. I found 14 and sent them out.
I received a ticket from Creighton Gubanich who made his debut in 1999. He signed the ticket with MLB Debut and wrote a note about what he remembered about it (he mentioned coming in for defense after someone pinch ran for Jason Varitek in the bottom of the 8th).
Another ticket I received was from Fritz Connally who made his debut in 1983. He also signed and inscribed it with ML Debut. He included a note about his debut that mentioned “… I struck out. Not a great start but at least a start.”
The third ticket I received was from Eddie Bane who signed it with ML Debut. He did not include a note but he made his debut for the Twins in 1973.
I have always enjoyed debut tickets as it was something every player had to have remembered. To hear these players mention something about their debuts is pretty neat.
