The mail today included a 3,000th hit commemorative card and the February, 1984 Baseball Digest signed by Wade Boggs. He has always been a great signer for a fair donation. I think there are about three other Baseball Digest magazines that he is on the cover of that I have to track down. He included HOF 05 on the magazine!
Wisler-ing Dixie
I recently purchased a card from Cam G on a Facebook group and was pleased with it. When he listed a few other in person cards I saw he had a Matt Wisler 2020 Topps Heritage #657 that I needed. It arrived today. Another awesome card to knock off the need list!
The Hawk
Andre Dawson comes through again! I finally found a newsstand issue of the May, 1984 Baseball Digest magazine that features Andre Dawson on the cover and sent it off to him. I received it back today! I am still looking for the other Baseball Digest issue with The Hawk on the cover in a newsstand variety. Hopefully I will find that one soon! Stay tuned!
Warmin’ Up!
Derrick B (dlbiri1s on SCN) has helped me out at Cardinals Winter Warmup quite a few times over the years. This year he came through big time! I had sent three tickets and four cards to Derrick to get signed for me. I was hoping to get inscriptions on the tickets and Derrick came through!
The items I received today are:
David Freese 2011 World Series Game 6 ticket w/”Walkoff HR”
Masyn Winn ticket w/”MLB Debut”
Ryan Helsey ticket w/”Immaculate Inning”
Sonny Gray:
2022 Topps #US16
2023 Topps #78
2022 Topps Heritage #683
2023 Topps Heritage #149
Thanks a ton to Derrick! Can’t wait until next year!
