Ravens Draft Party

Last night Dave & I went to M&T Bank Stadium for the Baltimore Ravens NFL Draft Party to try and get some autographs they had announced 4 current players (David Ojabo, Michael Pierce, Jordan Stout & Tyus Bowser) and 4 alumni (Jacoby Jones, Pernell McPhee, Courtney Upshaw & Jimmy Smith).  I was able to get 6 of the 8 not getting Smith or Stout.  In addition Marlon Humphrey showed up came in didn't sign on his way in he left 10 minutes later and didn't on way out either.  Below is the list of what I got signed and the pictures of them as well. Total is 13 autographs from 6 players.

  1. Jacoby Jones - A Jersey, 8x10 & a card.
  2. Pernell McPhee - 2 Cards.
  3. Courtney Upshaw - 4 Cards.
  4. David Ojabo - 2 Cards.
  5. Michael Pierce - Book.
  6. Tyus Bowser - a Card.

#CCC_Friday

I made a couple of claims on 4/21 from the twitter thread #CCC_Friday. The thread is, if you claim something for free all shipped PWE you post something for someone else to claim and also ship to them PWE. So it's a fun way to increase your collection and others collections for the cost of a stamp.  Kind of like a modified blind trade. The 2 cards I claimed was a Holiday Ohtani 2022 edition from @jlun13 & a 2021 Panini WNBA Prizm autograph # SG-MHA of Myisha Hines-Allen from @KevinSpollen.  See picture of both below.

Nelson Agholor

I was looking for an autograph of newly signed Ravens Nelson Agholor and @J0phes #RAK one to from a sale @Prezidentsports was having on twitter last week can't thank him enough for the generosity!  The card is a nice RPA /99 in USC uniform and a nice piece of a yellow patch maybe a number.  Nice addition and place holder in the Raven autograph collection until I can get him in person hopefully this season.
