My mailbox was full today.
I received three more Grand Slam prints today, all from Tom Orr signings. All three have Beckett Witness authentication and all three had the sticker placed on the back of the print, as requested. These bring my total up to 34 prints signed.
Former-Red Eric Davis signed his print as requested. His signature is kind of cool.
Another former-Red and Hall of Famer, Barry Larkin, signed his also as requested. I wish I knew how large the players are going to sign when I decide where I want them to sign it. They seem to sign small when I expect large, and vice-versa. In this case, I might have requested he sign across his legs rather than him starting close to the edge and overlapping his body just a bit. Oh well.
I also had Barry Larkin sign his 1987 Topps rookie card to add another Hall of Famer signed rookie card to my collection.
The last print for today was Carl Yastrzremski, who signed much smaller than I anticipated. Oh well, it still looks okay.
I also had him sign his 1971 Topps for my set. I'm getting pretty close to having him on cards from the sets I collect. Any more cards I have signed by him would have to be at a really good price.
I also had two ttm returns. Dick Egan signed his 1966 Topps as well as three team cards. He also answered a couple questions in my letter.
And finally, Cookie Rojas signed eight cards for me for his $5 per card fee. I have most of his cards signed (I also sent him eight cards back in June), but wanted to add him to a bunch of team cards.
Unfortunately, his signature on the 1975 Topps is smeared pretty badly. I have one signed by him previously, but the pen tip is a little too fine. No big deal, I was just looking for a minor upgrade.
