Recently I purchased a Sports Illustrated magazine signed by Manny Ramirez and received it today. Manny has such a scribble for an autograph it is a wonder anyone can authenticate it. That is why it is important to know who you are buying it from. This one came from Dave P (AZGrapher8 on SCN) who got it in spring training a few years ago. I have worked with Dave a few times in the past and is a respected collector.

Today I received a baseball signed by CJ Wilson. It is a real nice baseball signed in blue ink on the sweetspot. I bought this from Josh M (ridiculousxdream on SCN). Thanks Josh!
Another Batch of Prospects
Today I received a nice batch of prospects who play/played in the Florida State League from my guy Paul C. If you are one of the regular readers (the few of you) you will recognize Paul’s name as he has gotten me a lot of future stars of late. With the MLB draft recently happening, a number of first round picks are being assigned to the FSL. I will be keeping Paul busy!
Here is a list of who I received today (inscriptions in parenthesis):
Angelo Gumbs
Andrew Heaney (2012 1st Round)
Ty Hensley (1st Round Pick 12)
Stephen Piscotty (God Bless)
Rob Refsnyder (CWS MVP 2012)
Gary Sanchez
Mason Williams
Thanks Paul!
Oh Balls!
Today I received a nice box of baseballs I purchased through Major League Alumni Marketing (MLAM). All the baseballs are MLB Authenticated and signed beautifully on the sweetspot. I am happy to add them to my collection… especially the Beltre!
