@pookiejones18 There is a huge run now on Glenn Meyers cards—a must have for any serious fan! Thanks for posting this Mr. Meyers, and for being accessible to your fans (count me in that group). Merry Christmas and ho ho hope you have a blessed 2025!

@PSAcard Yes. Both the ballpoint and sharpie are good. Ballpoint is vintage sig

This letter was sent to my good friend, Jack Krasula.

Walter Johnson was born 131 years ago today and after talking some Big Train with my buds @PaulByrd36 and @KevinKeats4, I think it is time to share some fun facts on him.

Besides “The Sultan of Swat” Babe Ruth was also “The Sultan of Signing” as he was wonderfully generous with his autograph. Still it’s rare to find anything pre-dating his sale to the Yankees. Here is a fantastic example signed/dated on a photo’s back that PSA authenticated today!

Here’s an autograph we don’t see many of: Bruce Lee

At PSA, we have the privilege of authenticating lots of really cool and unique items like this 1981 Laney High School yearbook from Michael Jordan’s senior year, originating from his schoolmate and signed inside to her!

I met Roberto the 2d & final time on 6.3.1972. He signed these 2 cards for me on that day. I cried at the terrible news on new year’s day 1973. My mom didn’t understand my pain, shared by countless others. In 1993 I got to spend some quality time with Roberto Jr. what an honor.

[Kevin Keats @KevinKeats4]

Remembering “The Great One” on Roberto Clemente day. I met him twice. The first time on 9.12.1970 and here are three things he signed for me that day.

I am giving Ryan another 1964 Topps Large card of Warren (he signed many for me) on the condition that he auctions one of them to raise more money for his worthy charity!

[Ryan M. Spaeder @theaceofspaeder]

Negative, part of my agreement with @KevinKeats4 was that he was donating the baseball for the fundraiser under the condition that I took the baseball card for myself and I gave my word. Not huge into memorabilia, but I like the story that comes with it and display it proudly.

[Kevin Keats @KevinKeats4]

This is a great cause. Please check it out. All donations, small and large, help those who have sacrificed so much for all of us!! Thank you 🤓

[Ryan M. Spaeder @theaceofspaeder]

I am raising money for the @SemperFiFund to support post-9/11 combat wounded, critically ill, and catastrophically injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Help out Veterans in need with a small donation and possibly win a signed baseball! https://t.co/d1CKSjKhQp

Matt Carpenter is the first #StLCards player to hit four doubles in a game since Joe Medwick on Aug. 4, 1937. Ducky hit 56 doubles that season, 64 the year prior and 47 the year after, all leading the league.
