Vern Law and More Paid Signing Returns

A full mailbox today for once. First, I got a great return from Vern Law, who signed a 1961 Sports All Stars magazine. He also added a couple of inscriptions which I didn't even request. How nice! I included $10 with my request.

I got back three more cards from Chris Potter signings.

Richie (Dick) Allen signed a 1965 Topps.

Denny McLain signed a 1972 Topps.

And Ralph Kiner signed a 1949 Bowman.

I haven't received my 1991 Twins bobblehead set yet so I called the Twins.  They said I should get it the first week in October.  Bummer.  Terry Leach is signing this weekend in Roseville and I was hoping to get him to sign his.  He hasn't done a signing here before so who knows when I'll see him again.

My Birthday Presents

A couple of weeks ago I ordered my birthday presents.  Since my wife and kids really have no idea what to get me for gifts, I order things and they wrap them up and give them to me. 

This year I took advantage of a Steiner Sports sale.  I bought four signed 8x10 pictures.

First, I got a nice signed picture of Ralph Kiner sliding.

Next, I got a picture of a Jim Bunning perfect game.

I also got a cool picture of Duke Snider climbing the wall to make a catch.

Lastly, I got a dual-signed picture of Bobby Thomson and Ralph Branca of Thomson's pennant-winning home run (with Branca being the losing pitcher).  Notice Jackie Robinson watching the action.  Trivia question: Who was on deck, ready to bat after Thomson?
