1992/1993 WS crested Jays authentic jersey signed by:

- Jack Morris (Vancouver Canadians "Superstar Signing" event
- Dave Stieb (ditto) - having a Jays' affiliate team in town is awesome!
- Roberto Alomar (Jays 40th Ann Event hosted by Robbie's Charity, in Toronto)
- (all these are from the same event) - Joe Carter, Devon White, Cito Gaston, Ed Sprague, Duane Ward, Rance Mulliniks, Kelly Gruber and Pat Hentgen

- Joe Carter signed 1993 WS Game 6 full ticket (WS wininng HR)
- Duane Ward signed 1993 WS Game 4 stub (15-14 game, Ward got the save)
- 1993 game use umpires line up card signed by Cito, Pat, Ed and Robbie
-1989 ALCS Program signed by cover guys - Joe, Robbie and Devo
- 1992 ALCS program signed by MVP Robbie
-1992 WS Game 3 wire photo of Gruber's "triple play that wasn't" tagging Deion signed by Kelly
- photos signed by George Bell, White, Gruber (2), Lloyd Moseby signed McCarthy
- Jorge Bell signed 1986 Topps reg card and AS card and Moseby and Jessie Barfield signed 1986 Topps cards
- 1985 ALCS program: Moseby, Bell, Barfield, Gruber and Rance to go along with the KC's Danny Jackson auto I obtained in person as an 18 year while in attendance at Game 7 (oh the horror!)

Also at the Stieb signing in Vancouver I got Dave to sign:

- photo of him leaving the field after his no-hitter in Cleveland in 1990
- Stieb's bat (he asked for it back and I thought for a second he really wanted it, but said that it was his model and that is was "cool to see it"). Dave came up as an outfielder that could hit a bit but only had 2 AB's in his MLB career
- only photo a I could find of Dave holding a bat (it's a LVS too!)
- Dave signed my 1985 ALCS program too

Chris,
Congrats. That Toronto collection is real eye candy!

Thanks Scott! I had a blast at the alumni event and dug deep into my meager collection to find the right items to get signed as the access was unprecedented, especially for a guy on the left coast! Now worrying about displaying some of this stuff, which is a nice problem to have.

Scott, do you have a signed Stieb no-hitter ticket in your collection?

Hi Chris,
Yes, I do have a Dave Stieb signed no-hit ticket stub.
He signed it for me through the mail about 8 years ago, BTW.
I am still on the hunt for a season ticket version of this ticket, but I have yet to find one.

Here is an unusual/interesting coincidence:
Dave Stieb and I were born at the same hospital in Santa Ana, CA in the same year. We were two of the very first children born at this hospital. Go figure!

Just got back from The National in AC and had a great time and spoke with a lot of people.

Here's the baseball that Ron Blomberg autographed for me.

Mr. Blomberg was extremely friendly and we had a nice conversation.

So excited to have this in my collection ! My all time favorite ballplayer

Roger Clemens was the guest coach at this evenings bluefish game... Got to meet him beforehand and get my 1984 pawsox card... roger and my father share the same birthday 8/4 so I asked him to inscribe it... I guess it's going to be my pops belated birthday gift! On another note, roger was friendly, extremely gracious and went out of his way to accommodate fans... All In all a real class act.

Interesting coincidence for sure. Here's my signed ticket, also a ticket master style but a full ticket, I believe.




Here's Dave from last month, in Vancouver with a friend of mine.

Very nice, Chris!
BTW, I recall seeing your ticket on eBay in an auction perhaps 5 years ago.
How long have you owned it?

Yep. EBay and about 5 years is right.

Was Stieb a guest at a card show? I can't recall him doing a show in the United States.

Finished my Core Four baseball this weekend with a trip to the National:

The Vancouver Canadians, a Blue Jays short season single A affiliate team had him up as part of their "Superstar Series". They bring a few Jays and Mariners alumni etc up each summer.
