2013 NL ROY?

I have wanted a baseball signed by the Marlins’ Jose Fernandez since about the all star break and received one today.  The ball I bought was signed at a spring training season ticket holders event and is pristine on a pristine baseball.  I bought it from Rob H (amazingmets on neshek.com).  I am pretty excited to have this young phenom’s autograph in my collection.

Magazine Day!

Today I received four autographed Sports Illustrated magazines acquired in various ways.

First, I purchased the 2013 Baseball Preview issue with “Big Game James” Shield on the cover from Jordan B (royalsFan19 on SCN).  Jordan is one of two guys who work the Royals and their opponents for me.  He does a great job!

Next I received a Jonny Gomes regional issue from right after the Boston Marathon bombing.  Jonny signed it via a signing with Scott Smith (SIKing).  Also in the envelope was a pair of autographed issues from 1980 US Hockey gold medalist Mike Eruzione.  Scott got Mike to sign the issue at Michael Jordan’s golf tournament in Lake Tahoe earlier this month.

All in all a nice day of SIs!

Robbie & Todd

I purchased a couple baseballs recently and received them today.  Both were done with tremendous service and the balls look perfect!

The first was a TriStar certified Roberto Alomar ball with HOF 2011 that I purchased from Mill Creek Sports.  I have bought from them before and have always been pleased.

The other ball was for Todd Frazier of the Cincinnati Reds.  He does not sign on the sweetspots except during signings.  I found that Richard Altman at Hollywood Collectibles was doing a private signing with him.  I realized it too close to the date of the event so I called and requested one of their baseballs.  Their service is top notch and the ball is beautiful.
