Albert Belle Private Signing

A rare Albert Belle private signing took place recently. Unfortunately, only cards, balls, 8x10s, and SIs were allowed, and no inscriptions were available. I picked out a nice card to get signed. I really want him on some premiums, but I’m still extremely happy to add another Belle card to the collection.

It looks kind of dark in the photo, but it looks amazing in person. I already have the Frank Thomas and Robin Ventura from this set signed, so I will probably try to knock out the remaining cards. There is a nice Magglio rookie in there, as well as Mike Cameron and Mike Caruso cards. Oddly enough, Caruso will likely be the hard one to get. The Thomas and Belle look really nice together.

Tim Anderson Private Signing

I recently participated in a Tim Anderson private signing with BM Authentics. They took good care of my items, and even texted me pictures of the items after they were signed. Some of their prices are a bit high (I believe their recent private signing with Codi Heuer cost more than the Anderson signing), but at least you’re getting good service for the money!

I plan on getting some premiums done at his next signing, but for now I got his Ginters and rookie refractor done.

Sases for Sox: Steve Carlton

Over the years I’ve started to really like multi-signed cards. So I sent a couple of cards to HOFer Steve Carlton that feature him with Sox players. I wish he had more Sox cards, and that the ones he does have were nicer. In any case, I’m very happy to add these to the collection. I’ll be sending the Fleer off to Carlton Fisk shortly. Thanks Mr. Carlton!

Jack McDowell Private Signing

I sent in 5 cards to a recent Jack McDowell private signing. I already have tons of cards signed by Black Jack, but I found 5 more that I genuinely wanted done. It’s hard to tell from the photos, but the Fleer is a Fleer Glossy, and the Topps is a Topps Tiffany. I will probably get a couple of premiums done at the next signing. Other than that I might just get a few more cool looking cards done, and them I’m done with Jack!
