Today I received a baseball I have wanted for a long, long time. I have always wanted a Joe DiMaggio baseball but was afraid of getting one because there were so many fakes out there. I recently sold a baseball that yielded me a nice starting point to look for a DiMaggio baseball. I sold a few more things and ended up with enough money to purchase the ball I really wanted. Today I received a beautiful PSA full letter certified Joe DiMaggio baseball for my collection. It was the second most expensive baseball I have ever purchased for my collection but I have one that I feel very comfortable with having. It is graded PSA 9 which is awesome too!

TR
Today I received a baseball signed by Terry Ryan. Terry was the Twins General Manager when they signed Joe Mauer. With Joe retiring, I thought it would be cool to have a story ball signed about signing him. Unfortunately what I received was not a story except that it said “Drafted Joe Mauer #1 2001 Free Agent Draft”. I guess there is a story in there!
Don’t Be a Bader
Today I received a pair of items that Chris B (GoYanks52 on SCN) got signed for me at the Legends for Youth dinner in New York recently. He got a Harrison Bader debut ticket with “MLB Debut” and a baseball signed by Bob Costas with “HOF ’18”. I could not be happier with how each turned out. Thanks Chris!
Thome is my Home(y)!
Today I received a baseball I purchased from Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) that was signed by Jim Thome. Jim signed it with HOF 18 and it is Beckett Witness authentication. Tom does a great job with his signings!
