I had two guys chase autographs for me in Florida for spring training this spring. Both guys did an amazing job for me! I received the first package today. Robbie L (robbielee on SCN) got the smaller group of the two but had great success getting everything I needed from Royce Lewis signed plus a few others! The items I added to my collection from Robbie’s work are:
Joe Ryan ticket with “First Win”
Ryan LaMarre ticket with “MLB Debut”
Royce Lewis MLB Debut ticket which he inscribed “5/6/22” (which is also the date on the ticket

Cardinals Winter Warmup
I received a couple of real fun tickets that Derrick B (dlbiri1s on SCN) got signed for me at the Cardinals Winter Warmup. The Pirates are one of the few teams who will print and send you tickets purchased via their ticket phone line. When I heard Nolan Gorman and Matthew Liberatore were making their Major League Debuts this summer, I called and ordered tickets to each game. Today I received a pair of each signed. Derrick got both to add MLB Debut on each as well. They look great and are great additions to my collection!
A “Cheeky” Mail Day!
Wow! What a fun day of mail today! I received FIVE packages of mail that contained autographed items! Where do I start?
The first envelope I opened was from my buddy Steve C (last name pronounced Cheek thus the title of this post). He had sent me a baseball card of himself from when he was a kid and I sent it to him asking him to sign it. I included a little that I sent out to the ballplayers and got it back signed today. I half expected a price sheet for future autographs. LOL. Thanks bud!
The next envelope was from Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN) who had posted some cards for sale on a Facebook group. Vinnie provided me two 2021 Topps Heritage cards signed by Jose Berrios, the regular and In Action. Great job as always Vinnie!
Next was an envelope that I had sent to The Philly Show a while ago that had a ticket from Kyle Schwarber’s debut. He signed it nicely with MLB Debut and I paid for JSA Witness sticker.
Then, Brooks Robinson returned my Baseball Digest from July 1974 signed beautifully with HOF 1983. Looks awesome!
Lastly, I received my box of goodies from Redsfest that I had sent to Tony R (trogers on SCN). In it was a beautifully signed Elly De La Cruz baseball and a Spencer Steer ticket with MLB Debut inscribed. Tony even included some Reds schedules for me! I love it!
What a great day of mail today! It was a blast opening it all!
