I wasn't able to go down for autographs last Sunday for the Steelers game but my friend Dave did and was able to get me 3 autographs on 3x5's of guys he didn't need. As luck would have it I needed one and one is an upgrade with the 3rd being a Practice Squad player who hasn't been active yet this season. See the the 3 autos below.
Tonight I went the Hanover Texas Roadhouse Restaurant as they had a meet and greet with former Raven Jermaine Lewis running from5:30-6:30. It was well worth the trip as he was very friendly signed everything talked and took pictures with all that attended the event. I was able to get through the line twice as I had a number of cards and a Friend Jim who couldn't make wanted me to get a mini helmet done for his grandson which wound up being no problem. I was able to get the mini and a total of 20 cards. See the items and pictures of Jermaine below.
Jim gave me this signed Tippy Martinez 8x10 he went to an event and was able to get multiples of this picture signed. This is one of Tippy I didn't have so a nice addition.
Eddie Britton was a wide receiver who was part of the Baltimore Ravens in 1997 and spent the season on Injured Reserve list. So I have needed his autograph since that season as I never was able to get him in person. I found a signed 3x5 on EBay from when he was part of the Colts so I bid and won it so nice cheap add to the collection that has been on my list for 28 years.
Last week Pristine Auctions gave out Coupon Codes different ones each day I was able to use a $25 one for Daily Auction as I had bid and was able to win to Hall of Famers that I needed Hockey Pierre Turgeon 8x10 and Football Frank "Bruiser" Kinard a APBA Game card. It was a pretty good deal as I paid a total of $9.57 for the 2 items delivered after using the coupon. Both came authenticated Turgeon by Beckett and Kinard by CAS-Certified Authentication Service.
Jim & I went to Baltimore today for the Paradise Card Breaks store grand opening and autograph event with Jonathan Ogden (11:30 am) and Rick Dempsey (12:30 pm). Wasn't sure what to expect so we went a little early arrived about 10:30am and we were 20th in line so no problem for the Ogden the first signer. The event was 1 autograph per person but was able to get through the line a couple time and with some help was able to get 4 Ogden's and 3 Dempsey's. Ogden handler Wendy stated no inscriptions but he was doing HOF 13 on everything I had my 30th Anniversary mini helmet wanted "First Ravens Draft Pick" but that was a no go so got the HOF 13 it came out very nicely in silver pen. See below items I got signed and pictures of the guest signers.
I bought a signed George Halas Autobiography off EBay. Mr. Halas is the 297th Football Hall of Famer in my collection. See the front and back covers and the inside page that was autographed by Mr. Halas and notes that this is a special autographed fan copy.
