Today I received a baseball signed by Frank Thomas. Leaf Authentics was running a special on them and could not pass it up. I got one from them a couple weeks ago that had the “Big Hurt” inscription. This one today has “HOF 2014”. Not bad at all!

Vacation Mail Day
One part of coming home that was actually fun was seeing all the mail piled up in the house. My in-laws are awesome and not only watched the crazy dog for us but also got the mail each day and kept watch of things at home. Going through the mail yielded the following items:
- Joc Peterson signed baseball I sent in to a private signing with this top prospect via Lojo Sports
- Bill Mazeroski to complete my 1961 Dell Sports Baseball Magazine. It has Maz, Whitey Ford, Bobby Richardson and Hal Smith on it and looks awesome.
- Roger Clemens, Frank Thomas, and Juan Lagares signed baseballs via a promotion Leaf Authentics ran at a nice price.
It was a nice run of mail to go through!
A Bill I was Happy To Get
Today’s mail brought a couple signed items I recently purchased. The first was a Billy Terry signed baseball. I was watching this baseball for about six months on eBay and did not see a nicer one listed in all that time. I bought it from Richard Altman and it comes with a full JSA letter.
The other item that showed up was a John Roseboro 1969 Topps card I bought from littball99 on eBay. This is a replacement for one that I had bought a while ago and did not feel it was legit. That one ended up in the garbage and this beautiful one makes me feel better.
This Guy Will Hit Yasmany Many Many Homers!
Today I received a Yasmany Tomas signed baseball I bought from Austin L (cyallstar24 on SCN). Austin got the ball signed at the Diamondbacks Fanfest a couple weeks ago. I may have mentioned before that I missed out on getting Yasiel Puig when he was a rookie and am not going to miss out on another Cuban ballplayer again!
