Matt H (mattyice on SCN) lives in Ft Myers and hooked me up with some autographs during spring training. He reached out to me regarding Miguel Sano rehabbing in Ft Myers and asked if I need Miggy. I sent a couple cards and today I received a pair back signed! The cards Matt got Sano to sign are:
2021 Allen & Ginter #173
2021 Topps #383
Looking forward to seeing if Kenta Maeda rehabs in Ft Myers! Thanks Matt!
Breaking Barriers
Today’s addition to the collection is a pretty special one. On 04.08.2022, Rachael Balkovec made history by becoming the first female manager in professional baseball when she led the Tampa Bay Tarpons in their season opener. Creative Sports Entertainment had a signing scheduled with her earlier this month and I had sent in a pair of items via Matthew Eric on Facebook. The items I received today were signed PERFECTLY and the organization of CSE was impressive. I received a baseball signed on the sweetspot with “1st Female Manager” as well as a ticket from the Tarpons @ Flying Tigers game signed in beautiful silver paint pen with “1st Female Manager”. I got JSA witness on both items. They look perfect! I am very pleased with these items.
Wade-ing Away
Today’s mail brought in a LaMonte Wade Jr 2020 Topps Heritage #575 card. Chris Senn is a person who gets autographs in San Diego and had this card, among others, for sale. I am excited to add this card to my collection!
