Today’s Baseball Digest arrived signed by Vern Law in beautiful blue Sharpie. The July, 1960 issue was signed and Vern included the following inscriptions:
“Cy Young & W.S. Champs 1960
Lou Gehrig Award
Comeback P.O.Y. 1965″
Vern is a long time friend of autograph collectors and he did not let me down!

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. I remember subscribing to it back when I was a kid so this is fun to remember getting the newest issue and attempting, but never finishing, the crossword puzzle inside. Today’s mail brought in the May, 1976 issue with Frank Tanana on the cover. He signed it and included his testimonial card.
