Today I received another debut ticket that I sent out back in February. Today’s ticket was for Jack Cressend’s debut and he signed it with “ML Debut”. What is cool about it was that when he opened my package he ripped the corner of my sase and cut the stamp. He took the time to write my address on the envelope and use his own stamp to get me the ticket.
Walk(er) This Way!
Today I received a Larry Walker signed baseball from TriStar. Not exactly what I wanted but it works. Larry was doing a private signing with TriStar so I sent in my 1993 Sports Illustrated along with the payment back in, I think, about March. With COVID happening and Larry in Canada, the signing was delayed. Earlier this week I received a call that Larry refused to sign the SI. I asked if the money I paid could be put towards a baseball with HOF 2020 and it worked out that I could so I received the SI (unsigned) and the ball today. Since he is a TriStar exclusive, I think the prices will stay high for him so I doubted I would get him any cheaper down the road so I got the ball. I do not know the reason why he would not sign that specific SI but this was the second, and final, time I try.
Going to India
Today I received a pair of baseballs I purchased from Joey S (LegendOfJoey on SCN). He was liquidating some nice baseballs for a great price so I jumped on these. One is a Gary Sheffield TriStar authenticated baseball and the other is Jonathan India. They look awesome.
A Butcher, A Baker, A Candlestick Maker…
Today I received the last Scott Baker card I needed to complete my run of his Twins cards. Calvin S (calripken88 on SCN) reached out and noticed I needed the 2012 Topps #276 card for my signed collection. He got it signed when Scott was rehabbing in Daytona when he was with the Cubs. With this card, I am down to needing just one to complete the 2012 Topps Twins set. That card is the Johan Santana AL All Time ERA Leaders card (#232).
