I received a pair of items today that are pretty unique. Pete Hamm has a pair of baseball cards from his playing days with the Twins… 1971 and 1972. I had purchased a signed 1972 card a long while ago. It wasn’t cheap as Pete was a notorious non-signer. I noticed he started signing a few months ago so I sent him a 1971 already signed by Jim Nettles (who is also featured on the card) along with $5. Today I received it back signed beautifully and Pete included a 1972 signed card too!
The other package I received today was a pair of 10.30.1989 Sports Illustrated magazines that were already signed by Kelly Downs. It is the cover where Kelly is carrying his nephew off the field after the earthquake that caused a delay in the World Series. Jeff Fedorko (Haleysdaddy0304 on SCN) tracked down Billy Kehl, Kelly Downs’ nephew, and had a signing with him. I sent in the pair and both issues are now complete!
