Adventures in Autograph Collecting
Today I received my 3000 Strikeout baseball that I sent in to a LOJO private signing with Greg Maddux. I added Maddog with his 3371 K’s inscription. I now have all the living pitchers with 3000 strikeouts except Randy Johnson. I hope to get him on it someday.
I also received a 1964 Topps AL HR Leaders card signed by Harmon Killebrew that I bought off eBay. It is PSA encapsulated.
Today I received a box from my guy Paul C in Ft Myers. I have mentioned Paul quite a few times recently as he is working the Florida State League which is Class A for the minors. This group brought in a couple Twins prospects as well as a couple from the Marlins. One of the Twins one is Miguel Sano. This is my fourth different Sano baseball and the fourth different signature version of his. I have no idea how many he has but there are at least four!
The baseballs I got are:
Miguel Sano
Eddie Rosario
Justin Nicolino
Jose Urena
As always, thanks Paul!
Today I received the last of the items I sent for spring training. Josh S (jslaw on SCN) sent me the last things he got for me. They turned out great and I am pleased but I had a lot of fun adding items to my collection this spring.
The items I got are:
Carlos Ruiz OMLB
Carlos Ruiz 2 different Sports Illustrated magazines
Brett Lawrie ML Debut ticket
Thanks Josh and the rest of they guys who made my spring training so fun!
Today I received a package from Paul C who lives in Ft Myers. He worked spring training games for me and is now working the minor leagues. I received the following baseballs from him:
Jonathon Schoop
Alen Hansen
Gregory Polanco
Will Middlebrooks (from spring training)
Thanks Paul!
