Today I received a package from Paul C from Ft Myers. Paul gets any player I want from the Florida State League and teams in Florida. He does a great job for me. This package includes:
Edmundo Sosa
AJ Ladwig
Jack Flaherty w/”2014 1st Round”
Justin Williams
Christin Stewart
Mike Gerber
As always, Paul does a great job for me. Thanks Paul!
A Fairly Nice Return
Today I received a Sports Illustrated magazine from 09.02.1963 signed beautifully by Ron Fairly. He signed it with his typical “Best Wishes”. It looks great and was a real nice issue I had in the collection for a while. He even returned my donation! Thanks Ron!
Swarzy
Today I received a card I bought from Shawn J (shawnmjacklitch on SCN) that he got signed by Anthony Swarzak. After Anthony left the Twins, he ended up pitching in Korea and then came back and signed with the Yankees. The 2015 Topps #128 completes my run of Swarzak cards I need for my sets. Thanks Shawn!
A Trio Of World Champions
A week or so ago I saw where Dan Gladden, Scott Leius, and Gene Larkin were going to be at the Mall of America signing autographs today. I asked Cami and Caden if they wanted to go and Cami said she did so we planned on going.
We got there and waited anxiously to start.
The first person we encountered in the line was Dan Gladden. Cami had Dan sign a photo of the collision at home plate from the 1991 World Series.
He asked if he could personalize it and Cami said sure. He wrote a pretty cool inscription. She was on Cloud Nine.
Next up was Scott Leius and then Gene Larkin. Cami got a card signed by each.
I got Gladden to sign a large photo of Randy Bush’s slide home from the 1987 World Series. I got Leius and Larkin to sign the team celebration World Series Sports Illustrated from 1991 where they were both pictured.
It was a fun time. Later on we went to the Twins game and Cami got Carson Fulmer to sign a card for her!
