Today I received a response that was nearly seven years in the making. Back on 07.24.2009 I mailed three baseball cards to Jimmie Hall for my Twins collection. Today, April 22, 2016 I received them back signed in blue ink. They look awesome. For those of you keeping track at home, that is 2,464 days. I am pretty excited to have these come back for my collection!

A Nice Mail Day
Today I received a pair of packages in the mail that were real nice. The first was a package with five Yankee prospect baseballs that Paul C got while he hit a Tampa Yankees game. He got the following on sweetspots in blue ink:
Vicente Campos
Ian Clarkin
Jorge Mateo
Austin Aune
Miguel Andujar
They look awesome and I am real pleased. Thanks Paul!
My other package was a Baseball Magazine signed by Don Larsen. I sent it to him, he signed it and returned it to me all within nine days. It looks great. I already have it packaged up to be sent to a Bill Mazeroski private signing in a couple weeks.
A Star and Three Rockets!
Today I received a pair of packages and am pleased with both. The first was a baseball signed by Starling Marte that I purchased from Chad L (TheChad on SCN). I tried to get Marte at a Spring Training ballgame in Florida a couple years ago and never even got close. I am excited to have him finally.
The other package was filled with three Roger Clemens signed Sports Illustrated magazines. I sent them to his Foundation with his requested fee and received them back signed in blue perfectly. They look awesome. The three issues I got back are:
05.12.1986 “Lord of The K’s”
05.13.1991 “Untouchable”
05.24.2004 “Bringing It Home”
I am really excited to have these in the collection and hope to send the four remaining covers I need of him real soon.
What a Start!
Today I received a baseball I sent to Pete Richert. He signed his name and included the inscription “Struck Out 1st 6 Batters Faced 4/12/62”. He was brought in to his Major League debut in relief and fanned the first six batters. Pretty impressive start to his career!
