Gene Hickerson

I bought this autographed 3x5 card of Football Hall of Famer Gene Hickerson it's encapsulated from PSA/DNA nice add to the collection and he is the 290th of my HOF autograph collection.  This came from EBay and I used money I got from winning my fantasy football league.

Ravens Playoff Rallies

The Ravens held 3 different Rallies last night for the playoffs.  These rallies were at 6 PM, 7 PM & 8 PM at 3 different bars/restaurants in the Timonium/Cockeysville MD area so where about 40 minutes away for me.  I was able to make the end of the 6 PM and the beginning of 7 PM rallies.  At the early rally Alumni players were Jimmy Smith and Bryan Hall and a couple Cheerleaders.  At the later session Alumni players were Michael McCrary(subbing for Jermaine Lewis who couldn't make it) & Pernell McPhee plus Poe.  I was able to get a total of 24 autographs mostly Jimmy Smith who was nice signed all the cards I had and commented on them as he signed one was his first pick six off Peyton Manning, one was airbrushed Ravens uniform over his college uniform and a couple he hadn't seen before was very cool interaction in a laid back situation as they were siting at a table and the line to meet wasn't long and I was towards the end of it getting there later. Below are list of what I got signed and pictures.

1. Jimmy Smith - 10 Cards & Alumni Card.
2. Bryan Hall - 3x5 & 2 Alumni Card.
3. Annabel - Cheerleader Postcard.
4. Maddie - Cheerleader Postcard.
5. Michael McCrary - 3x5 & Alumni Card.
6. Pernell McPhee - 4 4x6 Pics & 2 Alumni Card.

Steven Sims Jr.

I couple weeks ago the Baltimore Ravens signed Steven Sims Jr. to the 53 man roster so I needed an autograph for the collection.  I figured that since it's near end of the season I probably wouldn't get him in person and he might not be back next season so I looked on Ebay and found and won an auction whcih cost me about $3 shipped so well worth it.

Ravens Pregame

I went to M&T Bank Stadium today to do autographs before the game.  It was horrible day and probably should have stayed home.  The weather was cold about 35 degrees and very windy at times so wind chill was in the teens.  As for the actual autographs no big names and got a total of 9 autographs with the best being Eric DaCosta & Eric Weddle who was the Ravens legend of the game.

1. Eric Weddle - A Card & A Program.
2. Eric DeCosta - 8x10.
3. Ar'Darius Washington - 8x10.
4. Dean Pees - 2024 Christmas Card.
5. Jordan Stout - 2024 Christmas Card.
6. Nick Samac - 2024 Christmas Card.
7. Beau Brade - 2024 Christmas Card.
8. Malik Hamm - 2024 Christmas Card.

Diontae Johnson

I needed a Diontae Johnson autograph since the Ravens traded for him and he played in a couple games before he got disgruntled and was suspended by the team.  I found this 2021 Panini Score autograph # 116 for less then $3 delivered on Ebay so picked it up.  It's not much of an auto but it works as I don't think he will be back and I won't get him in person.
