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!

Manny Being Manny Going for Gold

Today I picked up a box with three Sports Illustrated magazines I had sent to Donnie D (macey225 on SCN) who was going to the National.  I mailed him my 1980 US Olympic Hockey team SI to get Mark Johnson on it (I am now down to needing just John Pavelich) as well as two Manny Ramirez SI’s.  I had read where Manny was signing things really crappy so I was a little nervous on what signature I would get on them.  Turns out Donnie hit a grand slam for me.  The signature versions I got, especially his first SI cover, look pretty good compared to what I had seen.  He also took care of getting Swartz Sports holograms on them exactly where I wanted them.
The SI’s Donnie got signed for me are:
03.03.1980 Mark Johnson
07.05.2004 Manny Ramirez
04.01.1996 Manny Ramirez
I could not be happier.  Thanks a ton Donnie!
