Today I received a Wade Boggs baseball I had sent to him a week or so ago. I included a $50 check for his favorite charity and requested a number of inscriptions. I got the ball with one inscription. It was HOF 05 but I had hoped for about 10 others to be included for the amount of my donation. Oh well.
Matz is Where It’s Atz
Today I received my debut ticket signed by Steven Matz. Mark C (psugator01 on SCN) got it signed for me when Matz was in St Lucie, Florida. It looks awesome! Thanks Mark!
Debut Tickets & More!
Today I received a package from my friend Jon S who lives in Rochester, NY. Jon has hooked me up big time over the years as he has season tickets to the Red Wings and sees a lot of the Twins players come through there. Today’s package has one of my most favorite things in it… a Byron Buxton ML debut ticket with inscription! I had sent this ticket to him a while ago because, like me, he collects Brian Dozier home run tickets and Buxton just happened to make his ML debut in the game when Dozier went yard. Turns out he was able to get it signed and I replaced his ticket. Jon treats me really well. I continually owe him and this time is no different. It was like Christmas opening the package today! In it was:
Byron Buxton ticket with “Major League Debut”
Alex Meyer ticket with “MLB Debut”
2015 Bowman Chrome Jose Berrios
2015 Topps Danny Santana
2015 Topps Oswaldo Arcia
2015 Topps Josmil Pinto
2015 Topps Heritage Oswaldo Arcia
2015 Kennys Vargas Gypsy Queen.
Thanks a ton for all you do for me Jon!
Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Today I received the remaining magazine from Tom O’s (orr23mj on SCN) private signing with Pete Rose. It is the 08.19.1985 issue of Time magazine. It is signed in blue and looks great! Thanks again Tom!
