Today I received a pair of items I had sent in a while ago for a private signing with Bobby Witt Jr. Al N (milb08 on SCN) planned on having this signing in March but COVID-19 happened and it got pushed back. In the meantime, I saw Bobby was signing via his home so I sent a baseball there and got it back with an inscription. The returns I received today included a baseball without inscription but with JSA authentication and a 07.15.2019 Sports Illustrated with JSA authentication. I am happy to have these items from this up and coming super star!
Sir Rodney
Today I received three Rod Carew autographs I had signed via Tom O’s (orr23mj on SCN) private signing. These were the latest three cards I have gotten since I last sent in to a Carew signing. The cards turned out great! They are:
2019 Allen & Ginter 115
05.20.1970 Topps Now Turn Back The Clock 51
07.16.1969 Topps Now Turn Back The Clock 108
A Cressend-wich Sandwich
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.
