A Runner Up ROY

Paul Skenes won the 2024 NL Rookie of the Year with an amazing season. Coming in second place was Jackson Merrill of the Padres. Jackson’s autograph is really a scribble and fairly ugly but since he had such a great year I decided to send in to Alan Moore’s Sports Graphing signing and bought a baseball from him. It arrived today and the signature is more than a scribble. Jackson took his time on it (probably since it was a paid signing event) and it is beautifully signed. It also included Beckett Witness authentication. I am very pleased with how it turned out!

Great Cesar’s Ghost!

Cesar Tovar was a great MLB player for many teams but is most known for his years as a Minnesota Twin. Cesar played all nine positions in the same game while a player for the Twins.
He is also the last card I need to complete my 1972 Topps Twins set. Well, not any more! Brian Kritz reached out to me about the card and I told him it was the last one I needed and would love to purchase it from him. It was not cheap, probably the most money I paid for a card for my Twins collection, but it wraps up my 1972 team set!

What a Sport

Brian Kritz recently posted some older signed Sport magazines for sale on a Facebook group. I have purchased items from Brian in the past and he does a great job on things.
The package I received today included:
02.1952 Al Dark
05.1953 Bob Lemon
02.1955 Al Dark
05.1959 Hank Bauer @ 2

These guys all signed through the mail but I did not get into Sport magazines until after they passed away so it was real nice to be able to add these to my magazine collection.
