Another Baseball Digest rolled in today! This one is the April, 1973 issue with Don Kessinger on the cover. Don signed it beautifully in blue and returned my donation!
Shantz-y Pants
Today brought in another Baseball Digest! This one signed by Bobby Shantz. Bobby signed my September, 1957 issue beautifully and included “1952 A.L. M.V.P.” on it!
Tanana Banana
I recently started acquiring Baseball Digest magazines to send out to get signed.

Today’s mail brought in the May, 1976 issue with Frank Tanana on the cover. He signed it and included his testimonial card.
Elly’s Not Smelly

It would have been easy for him to cancel this signing and listed one at a higher price but he kept his cost at what it was before the call up which is commendable. I found out about the signing a little late to get a couple baseballs in so I purchased his stock items. I received them today and after a few days at the Major League level he is a heck of a player! I already had one ball signed by him at Redsfest but wanted to add a couple. Now to get my MLB Debut tickets signed…
