Today I received a baseball signed by Andrew Benintendi. Andrew is tearing up the minor leagues but what makes this baseball special is Andrew RARELY signs for anyone and says his agent told him not to sign on the sweetspot. I paid more than normal for the baseball because of that. I kept thinking that if I had the opportunity to get Bryce Harper at this price when he was in the same level of the minors as Andrew I would jump on it. At least I can mark off Benintendi from my baseball want list now. I purchased it from Brian M (morells86 on SCN) who had a half dozen signed via some special relationship with Andrew. I am very pleased.

King Kang!
Today I received a baseball I bought from a signing that Jeremy P (WVU Rocks on SCN) had with Jung Ho Kang. The baseball is signed perfectly and included a JSA Witness COA. Thanks Jeremy!
I’m Not Joshing You
Today I received a package of a pair of baseballs I bought from Tony M (bandit11 on SCN). Tony got them signed at a Blue Jays event of some sort this spring. I got a beautiful Josh Donaldson and a beautiful Marcus Stroman signed baseballs. Both signed perfectly on real nice clean baseballs. I could not be happier! Thanks Tony!
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.
