I’ve met Bill Melton a few times, and he has always seemed like a great guy. So it’s no surprise that he is one of the most reliable mail signers out there. He signed my 4 cards, and thanked me for the letter. Such a class act. Thanks Mr. Melton!

Jose Canseco Private Signing
Jamie Blye recently had an in person private signing with Jose Canseco. Normally I don’t mind mail signings, but with Canseco I will only participate in an in person signing. There have been too many issues with past signings. If there is one person I trust to get it done right, it is Jamie Blye. Thanks Jamie!
Sases for Sox: Billy Jo Robidoux
He didn’t sign it in a very good spot, but I’m still very happy to add this to my collection. I love collecting signed cards depicting a player that isn’t known for playing for the Sox, and that only has a few (or in this case, one) card showing him in a Sox uniform. Thanks Billy Jo!

Sases for Sox: Orlando Cabrera
I wasn’t sure if I would include items signed through PastPros in the Sases for Sox series. I decided it really isn’t any different than paying a fee directly to the player, so I will be including them.
Another one down in my Upper Deck quest. Thanks Mr. Cabrera!

Sases for Sox: Eddie Robinson
A couple of the cards were smeared slightly, and he didn’t use the blue sharpie I sent. That’s a bit disappointing considering I paid a fee for the autographs, but I guess I can’t complain too much. The man is 100 years old after all! I’m just glad the 1951 Bowman is the one card that isn’t smeared. Thanks Mr. Robinson!

Magglio Ordonez Private Signing
Today I received my cards from a recent Magglio Ordonez signing. They turned out great! I hope there is another signing in the near future, as I have lots more stuff I’d like to get done.
Sases for Sox: Gary Peters
Sases (self addressed stamped envelopes) for Sox will be a new series detailing my successes at collecting White Sox autographs through the mail (TTM). I used to send out to tons of players, but haven’t done so in years. Last week I started sending out again. It only took THREE days to receive my first success, Gary Peters! Gary has always been a great mail signer, and he did not disappoint! I normally send no more than 2-3 cards, but I sent 4 in this case. Thanks Gary!

Frank Thomas Private Signing
I recently took part in another Frank Thomas private signing. I had only planned on sending in 3 cards, but then I heard a rumor that he might be raising his price soon. So I sent in as many as I could afford, which ended up being 9. They all turned out great. The 1992 Donruss Elite is definitely one of my top 5 favorite signed Thomas cards.
Lamarr Hoyt Private Signing
I sent in 3 cards to the recent private signing posted on CSAC. They came back this week. I’m very happy with how they turned out.
