Today I received a couple items signed by Ari Fleischer. Ari was the Press Secretary during 9/11 and tweets what was happening real time every 9/11 anniversary. I get chills and am brought back to 9/11/01 every anniversary based on his tweets. It is something everyone should follow if they are on twitter.
This 9/11 reminded me I wanted to add his autograph to my collection so I sent his book “Taking Heat” along with a signature card to his office and received both signed today along with a nice note from him. Thanks Ari!
Esky
Today I received a signed 2018 Topps Heritage Eduardo Escobar #538 from Kent B (doggle3 on SCN). Kent was selling it and it was the last Esky card I needed for the collection so I can close the book on him.
Miller Time!
Today I received a pair of Legendary Voices signature cards signed by Jon Miller. He included HOF ’10 on each as well. Thanks Jon!
Three’s A Charm!
Today I received three, yes THREE, packages with autographs in them! What a fun mail day!
The first package was a HOF postcard signed by Trevor Hoffman that I bought from Steve S (cosmo on SCN). Steve has provided me a few items in the past and is one cool dude. He also included an early Kent Hrbek signed index card. Thanks Steve!
The second package was a pair of Shane Mack cards. FanHQ had a private signing with Shane last week and I had sent in my final two Mack cards I needed to complete my Twins team sets. These are 1990 Topps Traded #64T and 1994 Topps #337. Both were signed perfectly in blue Sharpie. Thanks Shaun and crew!
My final package was one I forgot about. I mailed a baseball to Dave Fleming via Oracle Park in San Francisco asking him to write his call from when the Giants beat the Tigers in the World Series. Not only did he sign the ball but he also included his call! I have a new baseball to add to The Call Ball Collection! Thanks Dave!
What a fun time opening these packages!
