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!

A Faust Class Lady

Today I received a really neat reply to a sent baseball request. Nancy Faust, who was the organist for the Chicago White Sox signed my baseball and included a really nice note and a couple signed cards of herself. While looking up something a month or so ago, I came across an article about her and was impressed with how she progressed in-game entertainment at a baseball game. Check out her Wikipedia entry here. She signed the baseball with “White Sox Organist”. I hope to get a baseball signed by the Twins organist next. I have a card signed by Sue Nelson but not a baseball… yet.

My other package received was from Brett Bashinger via DEB Sports for a signing he had with former Twin Jack Savage. I had both Savage Twins cards signed but he is so tough and my cards were signed in black, I sent in a few cards. I got both his 1990 and 1991 Topps cards signed along with both Tiffany versions and the 1991 Desert Storm version. They turned out great!
