Bobby Doerr

I'm now 2/2 on baseballs through the mail in my life (and this month) as Bobby Doerr signed 1/1 in 11 days c/o Home.  I have seen some bad signatures of his recently but I was pretty happy that this one did not turn out so bad.  The 86 in his Hall of Fame inscription is a bit smudged but I'm not overly concerned about it.  Nice to get this one back and great to see him still signing at the age of 96!

Lucas Giolito and Kaleb Cowart

Had a nice little surprise as 2 TTM's came in from last year's Spring Training.  Lucas Giolito signed 1/1 in 372 days c/o Nationals Spring Training and Kaleb Cowart signed 2/2 in 370 days c/o Angels Spring Training.

Goose Gossage

I decided to send out my first baseball in hopes of landing a Hall of Famer, and quite possibly, starting a Hall of Fame collection.  I'm now 1/1 as Goose Gossage signed a ROMLB in 29 days c/o Home.  He also inscribed HOF 08 as I had requested.  I did not include a fee, so I was a little worried that he would not include the inscription as I saw that it was about a 50/50 shot.  I am real excited to get this one back as I had checked my mailbox everyday in hopes of finding my bubble envelope.  I came back from the gym today to find the envelope stuffed into my mailbox and proceeded to rip it open.  This is definitely my favorite success in awhile as it's a Hall of Famer, who even played for both Chicago teams, and my first HOF inscription on a baseball.  Hopefully there will be many more to come in the coming years!
