Today I received a package I was a little nervous sending. It had my 10.28.1985 Sports Illustrated magazine already signed by Ozzie Smith in it. I mailed that issue and a 11.04.1985 SI issue to Steve Balboni along with a new silver paint pen and a blue Sharpie. I followed it as it went from one place and then was forwarded to another and I got pretty nervous but Mr Balboni came through for me. Not only did he sign each one perfectly but he used each pen on each magazine AND returned my donation I sent. Awesome all the way around. Thanks Steve!
All Betts Are Off
Today I received my package from Steve S (cosmo on SCN) from the Red Sox Winterfest. I had mailed him a few things to get signed but from everything I read, the operation of the Winterfest was a mess. Steve did manage to get me a ML Debut ticket signed by Mookie Betts though. We had agreed on a price and everything to get it signed but Steve said I did not have to pay. I am sending him some cards I got signed at Twinsfest last week as thanks.
Coo Coo C’Choo, Mrs. Robinson
Today I received a couple items from Rachel Robinson via the Jackie Robinson Foundation. I sent a Hall of Fame Postcard and the 05.05.1997 Sports Illustrated magazine along with a donation and received them back signed real nice along with a thank you note.
I’m Not Greedy. I Just Needed a Crede!
When I saw Joe Crede was going to be signing at the Chicago White Sox Fanfest, I had to find someone to get me the last Crede card I needed. Donnie D (macey225 on SCN) stepped up to get the job done for me. I probably offered too much to get it done but to have that knocked off my need list is a great feeling. Donnie got me the 2009 Topps Heritage high numbered card signed in beautiful blue Sharpie. His communication and fast turnaround shipping it to me was perfect! Thanks Donnie!
