Washington Redskins Draft Party

I made the trip to DC today for the annual Draft Day party since the Ravens have decided a Draft day party is not neccesary figured I go to someones.  Was not a great day autograph wise which is the only reason I really go to these events.  The hand listed 15 current and former players on the website and in the informational package for the event and it said to MEET them??? which was kinda hard since they had no scheduled activities to actually meet anyone that was there unless you where a kids club member (I'm not) or in there WOW-Women of Washington club (I'm not). So if you were a guy the only way was to try and get to the players on the field after the interview was done and that was only 6 players 3 each @ noon and 3PM. The only other station that had players was for a Kidney Walk or something which was set up by the organization and not the Redskins but they did have 2 players for an hour signing. So here is who I did get one way or another.

1) Anthony Armstrong (Current Player) - 2 8x10's

2) Brig Owens (Alumni Player) - a Card & 8x10

3) Darrell Young (Current Player)- 2 8x10's

4) Reed Doughty (Current Player)- 3x5 & Flyer

5) Larry Michael (Comcast Sportsnet)- 3x5

6) "Doc" Walker (Alumni Player)- 3x5 

7) Chief Zee (Superfan) - 3x5

Ebay sale!

Hello all, I'm going to try this haven't sold to much on Ebay compared to what I've purchased. But I saw you can list 50 items and there is no listing fee so figured I would list 50 items (Doubles of Autographs) and see what happens. If you want to take a look my ID is Dionlo guess you can search by seller. or the first item is a Robert Andino postcard could search on that to to find listing. If this goes well I may list 50 items a month just to clear out doubles. Also if any one wants the list of items I have doubles of and wants to trade leave a comment with your email address and I'll send it to you. Thanks, Dion

Harrisburg Stampede vs. Maryland Reapers 4/7/2012

I went to the game last night just to take in an indoor football game and wasn't thinking about autographs at all forgetting that Marques Colston is Co-owner of Harrisburg. Long story short Colston is in attendence for the opening game of the season and I have nothing for him but My son and I both got him on the back of a team schedule (Business card) also as part of the package I purchased was an AIF game ball so at half time got him to sign that to looks nice black sharpie on a red panel of the red, white & blue ball. Then walking around at half time found that LeSean McCoy and my son and I also got him to sign the back of schedules. So not bad go to a indoor football game and come away with two NFL pro bowlers.
