Mark Andrews

I bought this off Ebay for opening bid plus $3.50 shipping, 2018 Panini Impeccable # 163 #'d 49/75 nice thick card stock and good looking card and a Rookie.  Not bad for a higher end product card of a guy who hardly signed during this season. 

Barry Williams at PA Farm Show 1/11/2019

Greg Brady

Last night Mike & I went to the PA Farm Show for an appearance by former The Brady Bunch star Barry Williams for ME TV he was there all day noon to 8PM.  We arrived about 5:30 to find out it was just pictures! ugh, so we did walk around the show for a while and then went to a 7PM Q&A with Barry which lasted an hour I was able to get 1 8x10 signed on his way out so was kinda lucky as didn't see him sign much.  I also got a signed pictures of local WGAL 8 news anchor Janelle Stelson and dirt track driver Fltin' Jimmy Bernheisel.

Jaleel Scott Part # 2

I needed a Jaleel Scott autograph after not getting him in person all season.  So I bid on 2 on Ebay and won both of them at the opening bid of .99 plus $3.50 shipping.  This one is a 2018 Panini Obsidian Jersey/Autograph # RJ-JS #'d 019/100. So now after purchasing 2 and him signing 3 after the December 30th Ravens game I now have 5 Jaleel Scott autographed cards.

Michael Crabtree

Noah a fellow collector who was able to get 2 autos from the elusive Michael Crabtree after the December 16th Ravens game gave me the one Michael signed on the page next to the card he then signed the card once Noah asked him too.  This is much appreciated as it eliminates Crabtree from my needed Raven list. I was able to cut the page down to a 3x5 size.
Thanks Noah!
