Today I received a pair of packages. The first was a numbered Willians Astudillo signed Topps Now post season card. I bought an autographed Topps Now post season set and La Tortuga was the signed card in the set. This is ironic because Willians was not on the post season roster. My card is numbered 10/10.
The other package I received was the first of hopefully many ML Debut tickets I sent out. I found a website that listed all the Major League debut games so I went through my trader list of tickets and found a bunch and sent them out. Bubba Trammell made his ML Debut on April 1, 1997 at the Metrodome. I had this ticket and mailed it to him. He signed it and included a nice note thanking me for the memory. Pretty fun return!

Bud Is My Bud!
After a couple tries, I finally got a baseball signed by Bud Selig with HOF 2017! I am so happy now. Every one I received did not have the HOF inscription I always requested. This time it did. I placed a post it note on the ball box requesting it. I don’t think he reads the letters. He did return my donation as well! Thanks Bud!
Fly Like A Bird
Today I received a baseball I sent to Ken Harrelson. I had requested 2020 Ford Frick Award on the ball but he signed it with his own ugly black pen (when I sent a blue ink pen) and included his nickname “Hawk” on it. No inscription either. 🙁
Nice Pair!
Today I received a pretty cool pair of mail packages. The first was a Super Sports magazine from August 1970 which features Lou Brock and Pete Rose on the cover. I bought this magazine from Matt Keen because I had never seen it before and it was in perfect shape with both players signing it. It is a cool addition to the non-SI magazine collection!
The other package was a baseball I sent to former umpire Bob Davidson. I asked about the time he ejected Montreal Expos mascot Youppi and he replied on the baseball. You can read more about the ejection here. Pretty funny stuff.
