Today I received my 1965 Twins team signed ball from a signing Chris R (rifon on SCN) had with Jimmie Hall. I now have 22 players from the 1965 Twins post season roster on the ball. There are four or five solid signers out there I could add to it but I am afraid of mailing it. Maybe I will try my luck a couple times and see what happens.
A First
Today I received a baseball of what some might say is a baseball pioneer. In mid-November, 2020, Kim Ng was hired by the Florida Marlins to become the first female general manager in baseball history. I sent her a baseball via the team requesting her autograph and inscription of “1st MLB Female GM” and she did not disappoint.
The other package I received was a pair of items from a private signing that Jake R (Kowbyz8 on SCN) had with Randy Arozarena. I got a baseball and debut ticket (with ML Debut inscription) both JSA’d signed at the event.
Who’s Your Vladdy?
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!
