Ahhh Frick

Doug Keating does an amazing job promoting his shows in MA and taking mail order for his very fairly priced autograph guests. My latest purchase is no different. Joe Castiglione is the recipient of the 2024 Ford Frick Award and showed up to Doug’s show on New Years Day. I bought a pre-signed baseball and received it today. It was signed by Joe along with “Frick Award HOF ’24” and fits perfectly in my collection!

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!
