Carl Jones Jr.

Carl Jones Jr. was claimed and signed to the 53 man roster by the Baltimore Ravens on December 8th,  I wasn't sure I'd be able to get him in person the rest of the season so I looked on EBay and found a Sage card for less than $3.00 so I won and bought it.  See the card below and this will be a place holder in the Ravens all-time roster until I can get him in person.

Art Rooney

I was looking for an Art Rooney autograph to add to my Football HOF collection and a little bit ago EBay sent me a couple of $25 off coupon codes so I found one that fit my need and budget and it was a BIN so I did it.  The item is a PSA Authenticated and encapsulated 3X5 card, It looks great and is a bold clean autograph in Black Sharpie.  Mr. Rooney is my 301st different football HOFer in my collection.  See the item below.

Samantha Fish

Jim & I went to last nights Samantha Fish Concert at XL Live in Harrisburg, PA.  There was 2 opening acts first was the The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion followed by the Grammy Nominated Cedric Burnside.  Then it was time for the headliner Samantha Fish who was high energy and a great time the show was about 70 minutes and finished with all 3 bands on stage for the final song.  I was able to get a Setlist and Drumstick which I had Jamie Douglass Sign them along with bassist Ron Johnson on the setlist.  We stayed around but Samantha didn't come back in and it was raining and very windy so no chance outside venue.  See below for some pictures and from the concert and the items I got signed.  Also, I couple links to videos from the show.

I received a couple of $25 off coupon codes from EBay.  So I used one of them on this Football HOF autograph that I needed of Ray Nitschke on a Packers pocket schedule and Beckett encapsulated & authenticated.  Mr. Nitschke is the 300th different Football HOFer's autograph I have in the collection.

Bobby Dillon

I made an offer for this Bobby Dillon signed 3x5 card that has been in my watched items on eBay for a while and it was accepted.  Bobby is my 299th Football HOFer in my autograph collection.  Mr. Dillon died in 2019 and was elected into the HOF in 2020, personally I hate when that happens this honor should happen while the player can enjoy being an HOFer and not get put in posthumously.

  1. Dre'Mont Jones - replaces a Ohio State card I had.
  2. Keyon Martin - Needed.
  3. Kaimon Rucker - Is the PS guy.

Jermaine Lewis

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.

Tippy Martinez

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

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.

Jonathan Ogden & Rick Dempsey

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.
