Today I received a baseball signed by prospect Nolan Jones. Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) got it signed for me. It looks great and this guy should be huge in a few years!
This Little Puiggy
Today I received a baseball I have wanted for a while. Marc B (renaissancemania from SCN) was able to get Yasiel Puig to sign a baseball for me. The in person version Puig gives is the YP66 rather than his full name but I am real glad to add this to my collection. Thanks Marc!
The Big Unit and a Couple 1st Round Draft Picks
Today I received a couple packages of baseball goodness. The first package was from Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) where he had a signing with Randy Johnson. I was able to get four items signed by Randy with three being Sports Illustrated magazines and the other being my 300 win baseball. Randy included “303 Ws” on my baseball. I now need only three more living 300 game winners to complete it (Maddux, Ryan, and Glavine). The three SI’s that were signed was 03.31.1997, 11.02.2001, and 12.17.2001 which he completed the issue that was already signed by Curt Schilling. They turned out great! Tom does an amazing job!
The second package I opened was a pair of baseballs my pal Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) got at a recent minor league game. The baseballs he got signed for me included Nick Pratto and Daniel Lynch. Lynch included “2018 34th Pick” which was interesting. Usually they write 1st round pick or something like that but since it was a sandwhich pick maybe that is why he wrote the pick number. Either way, it is pretty cool. Thanks Chris!
A LOT of Fun!
Today I received a lot of signed cards I won in a Clean Sweep auction. The lot contained 22 cards and I really only needed/wanted one of them… the 1965 Cesar Tovar card is the final card I need from the 1965 Topps Twins set and it was one of hte 22. I overpaid for just wanting that one card but figured I could trade or sell the others I got. All the cards were from the early to mid-1960s and had mostly deceased players in it. All cards were certified by JSA and had a sticker and card for each. I am pleased with the card and the opportunity to complete my set!
