Today I finally had a chance to meet up with Nick K. Nick and his father get autographs at hotels before and after baseball games. I have gotten a couple autographs from Nick in the past. Back when the Cubs were in town he got a pair of baseballs signed by Kyle Schwarber. Kyle is going to be a stud for the Cubs and when he offered me one, I could not pass it up. That was about six months ago. Nick lives in Woodbury and is a student at the U of M so meeting up was challenging as he lives in Dinkytown. He was home for break and it worked out to meet with him today. The baseball is beautiful and I look forward to seeing who he can get next baseball season!

I’m Dreaming of a (Rondell) White Christmas!
Today I received three cards signed by Rondell White. Rondell has been an elusive signer for me. I tried two other consignments before Mark C (psugator01 on SCN) came through for me. Mark got Rondell to sign the following cards for me:
2006 Topps 576
2006 Topps 647 (already signed by Lew Ford)
2007 Topps 543
I now can close the book on my Rondell White needs! Thanks Mark!
Redsfest
Today I received a box with a couple items I had sent to Matt P (mpgobrowns on SCN) to get signed at Redsfest. He did a great job! Matt got a baseball signed by Devin Mesoraco and two tickets signed by Rasiel Iglesias. Both tickets were from his ML Debut. He signed one with MLB Debut and the other with just MLB before his handler said no inscriptions. They look great. Thanks Matt!
Ichiro!
Today I received a package of a couple Sports Illustrated magazines that Mark C (psugator01 on SCN) got signed during the Marlins season and the Perfect Game event down in Florida. The Ichiro SI was his first issue, 05.28.2001. The other magazines were both already signed by Charlie O’Brien and Mark got John Cangelosi to sign them. That issue is from 05.23.1994.
