Today I received a pair of packages. One was like Christmas! Back in spring training I sent some stuff to Josh S (jslaw on SCN) and he did a great job (as he always does for me). I left him some items to get signed from his hometown Marlins as well as some other teams for over the summer. He did not disappoint! He also included me in a private signing with a friend of his with Jose Fernandez. This was before Fernandez had to get Tommy John surgery and was at his meteoric rise (and was the stud of my fantasy baseball team). He also thought of me with a couple tickets during the season too. I received from him the following:
2 Jose Fernandez OMLBs
Jose Fernandez 1st Win Ticket
Kevin Slowey 1st Win Ticket with “1st Win”
Marcell Ozuna ML Debut Ticket. This one is awesome. Josh asked for MLB Debut. Marcell’s English must not be too good as he wrote “MLB Day View”
Jarrod Saltalamaccia Sports Illustrated (11.04.2013)
BJ Upton AND Justin Upton Sports Illustrated (10.07.2013)– Now I need to find a way to get Kate Upton to sign it! 🙂
Andrew Heaney ML Debut ticket
Gregory Polonco 1st HR ticket 06.13.2014 (unsigned)
Jacob deGrom 1st Win ticket 06.21.2014 (unsigned)
As always, Josh does a phenomenal job for me. I look forward to spring training next year with my stuff! Thanks Josh!
The other package I received today had a baseball signed by the latest Cuban to join the Major Leagues, Rusney Castillo. Dan C (scfdff on SCN) got Rusney on a baseball on September 3rd and I was the first one to offer on it. It arrived today and is a pretty neat item to add to the collection. I missed out on getting Yasiel Puig when he first started and was not going to miss Rusney. The ball looks awesome! Thanks Dan!
