Brian Kritz recently posted a small lot of Sport Magazines (and one Sports Illustrated) on a Facebook sale page. I purchased items from Brian years ago via SportsCollectors.net so I knew his stuff was good and he was fair. Today I received the following magazines:
07.1953 Sport Ferris Fain
02.1955 Sport Al Dark
10.1958 Sport Bob Turley
05.1959 Sport Hank Bauer
07.1981 Sport Goose Gossage
07.06.1964 Sports Illustrated Al Dark
All magazines are great and signed beautifully!

No sMeares Here!
Today I received a signed Pat Meares card from jamesfun2collect on eBay. I needed a 1995 Topps #432 card and found it on eBay. It is signed in black Sharpie instead of blue but I am not picky for Meares’ card because they are not found frequently. I am excited to knock it off my Twins set need list!
The Finger in the Cake
Ok. To be honest I had a much, much different title for this post but decided against it. A few weeks ago I noticed Brandon G was selling a couple stat balls for Rollie Fingers with the money going to a foundation that sponsors research for the illness his child is afflicted with. I have a bunch of Rollie Fingers autographs (who doesn’t?) but not a stat ball. I bought it and it arrived today. It has his name and HOF 92 on the sweetspot with three stats on the top panel and three stats on the bottom panel. It looks great displayed!
Elly’s Not Smelly
Jim F (jimfalbo21 on SCN) advertised a signing with Elly de la Cruz with a due date which turned out to be a couple days after he was called up to the Reds. It would have been easy for him to cancel this signing and listed one at a higher price but he kept his cost at what it was before the call up which is commendable. I found out about the signing a little late to get a couple baseballs in so I purchased his stock items. I received them today and after a few days at the Major League level he is a heck of a player! I already had one ball signed by him at Redsfest but wanted to add a couple. Now to get my MLB Debut tickets signed…
