Today I received a ticket I had sent in for a signing with Gerrit Cole a month into the season. It was scheduled and then cancelled because he got hurt and then delayed again because he was rehabbing. Well, he was back in the Majors and the signing happened. I sent the ticket to J Carr (graphmanj on SCN) who worked through LoJo Sports to get it signed. It was a debut ticket in which Gerrit got his first ML win too. It was signed “MLB Debut/First Win” in fine gold paint pen and looks awesome!

That’s Just The Ticket!
Today I received a couple packages of signed items. The first one I went through was from Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN) who I sent some items for when the Twins went through his town. The items he got signed for me was:
2014 Topps Kevin Correia
Caleb Thielbar 1st ML Win ticket
Samuel Deduno 1st ML Win ticket
Eric Fryer 1st ML Home Run ticket
They all turned out great.
The other package contained a pair of cards I bought from Tom O (orr23mj on SCN). They were both 1964 Topps Twins cards. One was Zoilo Versalles and the other was an upgrade for my Jerry Zimmerman card. I am pleased with both.
That’s Just the Ticket!
Today I received a ticket I sent to Harry S (harrybear on SCN) who gets Kansas City Royals autographs signed by Salvador Perez. It is my second signed Perez debut ticket but I think he has a real high ceiling so I am excited to add another to my collection. I hope to send some baseballs to Harry in near future to get signed by a couple other Royal players.
That’s Just The Ticket!
Today I received a couple tickets I had sent in to a couple private signings.
The first is one that I really wanted for a while. My friend Steve C gave me a ticket from Game 3 of the 2013 World Series. That was the game where third base umpire Jim Joyce called obstruction on the third basemen which allowed Allen Craig to score from third with the winning run. I saw where Craig was doing a signing with St Louis Sports Co (stlsportsco on SCN) so I immediately set it up to send it in. The ticket was signed exactly as I requested and turned out awesome! Craig signed it with “Obstruction Call Winning Run”. I could not be happier!
The other package I got in had a pair of tickets from Jose Abreu’s major league debut. I bought the tickets right after the game and when Paul B (pabs82 on SCN) announced he was having a private signing with him, I jumped at the chance to send them in. I also bought a Sports Illustrated he provided that I will get in the next couple days. The tickets I received today were signed with the marker I sent in and everything. They look perfect!
All in all a great day of autographed tickets!
