Today I received something that has been out a while. Last season I missed sending in a debut ticket from Vladimir Guerrero’s Major League debut to a signing. I heard the promoter (Jamie B- jamieblye on SCN) was going to have another signing with him at some point during the off season. I think because of COVID it was delayed until the start of Spring Training. It showed up signed with just his name. I had paid for an inscription but it turned out he was only signing his name this time so I received a refund on the inscription fee. I now have a signed debut ticket from both Vladimir Guerrero Sr and Jr!
A Furcaligistic Package
Today I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Rafael Furcal. The issues I sent to the signing was the 11.07.2011 issue that had Rafael and Albert Pujols hugging after winning the World Series. Now I have to send one in to a Pujols signing! PastPros held the signing event a week and a half or so ago. They turned out great!
Pat Mahomes!
No, not THAT Pat Mahomes. THAT Pat Mahome’s father Pat. A year or so (?) my pal Jeff D from the Seattle area gave me a bunch of Mariners tickets from all the games he went to and saved. I got a couple signed and today I added another. On April 21, 1992 Pat Mahomes got his first Major League win and Jeff was there! IBExclusives and PastPros recently had a signing with Mahomes and I sent in the ticket and received it today. They got Pat to sign it with “1st ML Win”. It looks great!
Tony O
Today I received a really cool addition to my collection. On Opening Day, April 6, 1973 the Twins were at Oakland playing the A’s. With Catfish Hunter on the hill for the A’s and in his first at bat, Tony Oliva hit a home run becoming the first person to homer as a designated hitter. I acquired the ticket stub a couple months ago and sent it in for FanHQ’s autograph session with Tony O. Tony signed it with “1st DH HR”. Shaun and his crew at FanHQ do an awesome job with things. I am excited with how this ticket turned out!
