Cam G posted a bunch of cards for sale on a Facebook collecting group and I saw a Taylor Rogers card I needed. It arrived today. It is a nice example of his 2022 Topps #32 card!
The Cobra
I have recently seen a few items on X about how Dave Parker should be in the Hall of Fame. His health is in rough shape so if it happens, I hope it happens sooner rather than later for him. Today’s mail brought a pair of Baseball Digest magazines that Cobra signed. Jumpinjon (Jon O on SCN) attended a signing event in Cincinnati recently that Parker was at and got them signed for me. They look great. They are issues from July, 1977 and December, 1978.
Pags
I received a pair of packages in the mail today! The first was from Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN). Vinnie gets me a lot of autographs of players who roll through Seattle. I only sent him items for the Twins series this year. He waits until the season is over to do his mail and return the items. So, today’s package was:
Jhoan Duran- 2023 Topps Heritage #294
Jorge Lopez- 2023 Topps Heritage #240
Joe Ryan- 2023 Topps Heritage #29
Emilio Pagan- 2023 Topps Heritage #415
Kenta Maeda- 2022 Topps Heritage #724
Jovani Moran- 2022 Topps Heritage #697
Jovani Moran- 2022 Topps #387
Joe Ryan- 2022 Topps #US222
Matt Wallner- 2023 Topps #448
The other package was from Guy P (gpuglia on SCN) who had a private signing with Mike Pagliarulo. I had a pair of full tickets from Game 3 of the 1991 ALCS and had him inscribe them with “Game Winning HR”. They turned out better than I expected with Mike’s long name on a skinny ticket. I was a bit nervous how it would look but they look awesome!
A Good Sport
Brian Kritz recently posted a small lot of Sport Magazines (and one Sports Illustrated) on a Facebook sale page. I purchased items from Brian years ago via SportsCollectors.net so I knew his stuff was good and he was fair. Today I received the following magazines:
07.1953 Sport Ferris Fain
02.1955 Sport Al Dark
10.1958 Sport Bob Turley
05.1959 Sport Hank Bauer
07.1981 Sport Goose Gossage
07.06.1964 Sports Illustrated Al Dark
All magazines are great and signed beautifully!
