Today brought a single signed item but it is a cool one! Goose Gossage signed my 2008 stamped and postmarked Hall of Fame induction ticket. He signed it perfectly in the perfect location on the ticket!
A “Cheeky” Mail Day!
Wow! What a fun day of mail today! I received FIVE packages of mail that contained autographed items! Where do I start?
The first envelope I opened was from my buddy Steve C (last name pronounced Cheek thus the title of this post). He had sent me a baseball card of himself from when he was a kid and I sent it to him asking him to sign it. I included a little that I sent out to the ballplayers and got it back signed today. I half expected a price sheet for future autographs. LOL. Thanks bud!
The next envelope was from Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN) who had posted some cards for sale on a Facebook group. Vinnie provided me two 2021 Topps Heritage cards signed by Jose Berrios, the regular and In Action. Great job as always Vinnie!
Next was an envelope that I had sent to The Philly Show a while ago that had a ticket from Kyle Schwarber’s debut. He signed it nicely with MLB Debut and I paid for JSA Witness sticker.
Then, Brooks Robinson returned my Baseball Digest from July 1974 signed beautifully with HOF 1983. Looks awesome!
Lastly, I received my box of goodies from Redsfest that I had sent to Tony R (trogers on SCN). In it was a beautifully signed Elly De La Cruz baseball and a Spencer Steer ticket with MLB Debut inscribed. Tony even included some Reds schedules for me! I love it!
What a great day of mail today! It was a blast opening it all!
Sweet Music
Today’s mail brought a pair of Frank Viola Baseball Digest magazines. Frank signed by magazines in blue Sharpie. They are issues from 03/1985 and 02/1988.
In The Palm(er) Of My Hand
It has been a while since I received a return on some autograph items. I have a half dozen that should be rolling in soon but today I received a nice trio of items signed by Jim Palmer. I had sent him a real nice “donation” and received back the following:
Hall of Fame postcard (I cannot believe I did not already have one!)
10/1970 Baseball Digest
02/1976 Baseball Digest
All three look great! I am very pleased to receive these items from the Hall of Fame pitcher!
