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.
Frank Thomas 1991 Topps Debut
Somebody was selling this 1991 Topps Debut Frank Thomas on SCN for less than his current private signing price for cards. As it was on my list of cards to get signed eventually, I went ahead and picked it up. It is my 54th signed card from the Big Hurt.
Adam Peterson Private Signing
A member on SCN recently held a private signing with former Sox pitcher Adam Peterson. I didn’t really need anything signed, but it was a very affordable signing, and I wanted to support it. So I got three cards signed. I’m happy with these additions to the collection!
Roberto Alomar Private Signing
I recently sent in a couple of cards for MAB’s private signing with Roberto Alomar. I’m pleased with how the rookie turned out, but not happy at all with the Donruss Champions card. If there has ever been a set with an obvious place to sign, it’s this set. I’ve never felt the need to label these cards, as it’s just so obvious. And yet, Alomar signed this card in a horrible spot. I guess it’s my fault, but I’m still not very happy. I’ll have to get another one signed in the future.
Project Rookie Card: Fernando Tatis Jr.
I participated in a recent private signing with San Diego Padres (still hurts) superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. I would have loved to have gotten 4 more cards and a mini helmet signed, but the signing started at $140 per item. So all I sent in was a Bowman Chrome rookie. I’m very happy with how it turned out. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some more stuff done in the future.
Wilson Alvarez Private Signing Results
Recently, there was a Wilson Alvarez private signing posted on SCN. Once again, I couldn’t quite afford to send everything that I wanted to get done. I did get 5 cards and a mini helmet done. I’m very pleased with how these items turned out.
