Today I received a few items I sent to Doug Keating (4192hits on SCN and from www.cardboardpromotions.com) to have signed by Mike Pagliarulo. Pags played on the 1991 Twins World Championship team and I wanted to add him to my 1991 Sports Illustrated. While I was sending that in, I included all of Pags’ Topps Twins cards and the 1991 10 Year Anniversary set card. I already had those signed but for the price thought I would get another of each. They turned out great! I could not be happier on how well my SI turned out. Doug does an awesome job.
A Pair of HOFers
Today I received a couple HOF postcards in the mail that I bought from Tom Orr (orr23mj on SCN). Tom had a signing with both Craig Biggio and Randy Johnson and these were signed then. The Biggio has Tristar certification and the Johnson has JSA Witness. I do not actively buy the HOF postcards but Tom offered them at a fair price so I picked them up.
Heeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!
Today I received a Sports Illustrated magazine I bought from Chris B (GoYanks52 on SCN). It was signed by Johnny Damon. The issue features three other Red Sox so I have a new project to work on!
Kyle Schwarber!
Today I finally had a chance to meet up with Nick K. Nick and his father get autographs at hotels before and after baseball games. I have gotten a couple autographs from Nick in the past. Back when the Cubs were in town he got a pair of baseballs signed by Kyle Schwarber. Kyle is going to be a stud for the Cubs and when he offered me one, I could not pass it up. That was about six months ago. Nick lives in Woodbury and is a student at the U of M so meeting up was challenging as he lives in Dinkytown. He was home for break and it worked out to meet with him today. The baseball is beautiful and I look forward to seeing who he can get next baseball season!
