Today I received a pair of the regional Sports Illustrated magazines I sent to Scott Smith (SI King) for a signing he coordinated with Carlos Gomez. Carlos was on the cover of an SI only available in the Milwaukee area earlier this year and I was able to get two and sent them to Scott. They were signed perfectly.
Lucky Seven!
Today I received seven baseballs of prospects and first round draft picks from my man Paul C. I give Paul a list of guys I want from AA teams in Florida and he gets them signed for me more times than not. Today I received the following beautiful blue ink sweetspot baseballs:
JP Crawford – Phillies
Aaron Nola – Phillies w/”2014 1st Round Pick”
Michael Chavis – Red Sox w/”2014 1st Round Pick”
Gregory Bird – Yankees
Angelo Gumbs – Yankees
Eric Jagielo – Yankees w/”2013 1st Round”
Aaron Judge – Yankees w/”2013 1st Rd Pick”
Yet again Paul comes through big time!
Big Carl
Today I received an envelope with two cards I sent to Carl Pavano a week ago. Carl finished off his 2012 Topps card which was already signed by Drew Butera and Rick Anderson. He also signed his 2013 Topps Heritage High Number card.
A Rose By Any Other Name…
Today I received the last seven Sports Illustrated magazines with Pete Rose on the cover that I sent in to a private signing to get signed. They turned out perfect! I am really excited to add them to my collection! Franco858 (Isaias F on SCN) had a private signing with Pete in Las Vegas and these were signed at his event. The issue I got signed are:
08.27.1979 (already signed by Manny Mota)
07.19.1982
08.27.1984
04.03.1989
07.03.1989
01.12.2004
03.10.2014
It was a great box to open!
