2012 Hit

I was at Wal-Mart today to pick up some 8x10's and came across there sports card display some where at 40% so I took a look to find a box of 2012 high series Hit 20 packs 5 cards per pack plus 2 Autographs per box so I purchased one box.  Strange packaging for this product the auto's were together in one clear pack, all the packs on the back said that the cards are from 1-75 low series but there not? and you get 100 cards in a 75 cards high-series (76-150) and don't get a complete set which sucks big time you would hope to get a complete set from 76-150. Also, the box says Autographs would be from the High series #'d A76-A150 but the the 2 above A5 & A86 so I'm assuming one is a High and one a low series autograph.  But for the $12.70 for 100 cards and 2 autos guess it's ok, Not a premium product and you can see why.  Hopefully I will be able to get some of the cards signed during the upcoming football season. If it wasn't for the autographs this product wouldn't be worth even the 40% discounted price.

Michael Waltrip

I went to a NAPA store grand opening in Hunt Valley, MD today.  They had a small car show, free food & Michael Waltrip it was a good time as there was not a lot of people looking for autographs so I was able to get 16 items signed including 2 8x10's, 13 cards and a NAPA Filters hat that they were giving away.

Ogden display @ HOF Induction

Saturday morning Dave and I left for Canton, OH mainly for the induction of Jonathan Ogden into the Pro football hall of fame.  As a Ravens season ticket holder since they moved to Baltimore I figured I had to be there for the ceremony inducting the 1st full time player to be inducted, there are 3 other players (Sharpe, Sanders & Woodson) that have played a couple seasons each for the Ravens but Ogden is going in as a RAVEN! It would have been real nice if Art Modell went also but he didn't make the cut not sure how that is but it is. While we were out there we did a little bit of autographing at the stadium and at the hotel. It was a long day waking up at 5 AM driving from 6 AM to 12:30  to Canton, hanging out at the hotel, checking in to our hotel in Alliance, OH and then going to the Ceremony in the evening. On Saturday I got 14 people for a total of 17 autographs see list below:
1) Willie Roaf - Card.
2) Jimmie Johnson - 3 Cards.
