Today I received a pair of packages that each contained Sports Illustrated magazines. The first package had the 05.31.1976 issue that I sent to Carlton Fisk. Carlton asks for a $50 donation to “The Cancer Support Center” for each autograph. This magazine was already signed by Lou Piniella and the umpire Jerry Cooney so adding Fisk finishes it! I already had one completed and with this one almost done I thought I would send it off. It looks awesome!
The other package had a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines from 09.28.1987. Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN) had a signing with Dave Collins. One issue was already signed by Ozzie Smith and is now completed. I will get Ozzie to sign the other one at some point and complete it. I wish I had a ticket from the Kingdome opener as Dave was the first Mariners batter and it would have been cool to get a ticket signed with that inscription. Maybe next time!
