Happ(y) For The Thrill

Today I received a pair of packages of items that made me happy!
The first was an envelope where I received a 2017 Topps #554 card signed by Jason Castro.  Since Jason was not at Twinsfest, I was unable to get it signed so I was happy to add it via Matt W (invctrl on SCN).
The other package was my second of three packages I sent to spring training signings for MLAM.  This package contained a pair of Will Clark Sports Illustrated magazines… 05.28.1990 signed real nice in silver and 04.04.1988 (now to add Mark McGwire to it and finish it!).  It also had an Ian Happ ticket signed with “ML Debut”.  All items came with an MLB hologram on them.  I am real happy how they turned out!

Rice, Rice, Devers

Today I received a package that has been months in the making.  Not because of anyone’s fault but mine.  Earlier this week I was going through some of the tracking numbers that I still had outstanding and realized I had not received a package of a couple Jim Rice and a Rafael Devers autographs where the signing was back in November.  I went through my records and found that I mailed the items in to Sure Shot Promotions and had not received them back yet.  I found their website online and called them and Mike answered the phone.  I got the list of my items halfway out of my mouth when he said he was happy I called because he had them sitting there for a couple months.  He said he tried contacting me but did not have a phone number or email address.  I had enclosed a SASE but it must have been discarded when the items arrived and he was truly happy to hear from me and get the items to me.  Today I picked up my 10.27.1986 Sports Illustrated magazine that was already signed by Gary Carter and my 04.09.1979 Sports Illustrated magazine that was already signed by Dave Parker which are now both signed by Jim Rice.  Also included in my package was a debut ticket for Rafael Dever with “ML Debut” inscription.  All three are beautifully signed.  Mike did a great job on these and they finally came home.

Win Twins!
