Today I received a pair of baseballs signed by Vlad Guerrero Jr. Al N (milb08 on SCN) had a private signing with him that included his numbered sticker hologram. I already had a pair of his baseballs signed but with the hologram I could not pass these up. These baseballs are absolutely beautiful too. They have a nice bold signature with no skipping or anything. These would for sure grade as a 10 each. I am pretty excited with these!
Not Free
My friend Nick K stopped by today to drop off some items he got signed for me the last few weeks. He went to Milwaukee for the Rockies/Brewers playoff series and got Kyle Freeland on a baseball for me. When the Tigers visited the Twins the last week of the season, he was able to get Grayson Greiner to sign a debut ticket with “MLB Debut”. Nick did a great job for me over the season and I cannot wait to work with him again next season!
The Donald
No, not that Donald… I am referring to Don Denkinger. When the latest issue of Sports Illustrated came out, it had a picture of Bucky Dent’s famous home run on the cover. I bought a few issues and sent three to Mr Denkinger. He kindly signed them perfectly. I now have to get them signed by the other three in the photo… Carlton Fisk, Mike Torrez, and of course Bucky Dent. The quest is on!
Worth the Wait
Today I received a pair of items to add to the collection. The first was nearly a year in the making. I had sent an Alex Verdugo debut ticket to a signing almost a year ago. For some reason, there were a few people who had items that got missed. The next signing with this promoter and Alex was this past Saturday. Today I received my 09.01.2017 debut ticket signed with “MLB Debut 9/1/17” and am pleased.
The other package was a 2018 Topps #115 Zack Granite signed card that I bought from Mike P (soxautographs29 on SCN). Not a bad day of mail!
