At the Titans game Ryan had a couple of items that where Ravens autograph needs for my all-time roster collection.  First is an 8x10 of James Carpenter & Kahlil McKenzie both offensive lineman who were on 53 man roster for a short time in 2021 Carpenter is no longer with the team and McKenzie is in camp and I actually got him on a 3x5 after the Titans game. Big Thanks to Ryan!!

The National - Bobby Layne

The most expensive piece I bought at The National was this JSA Certified signed Magazine page by football Hall of Famer Bobby Layne.  Bobby is my 257th member of the HOF in my collection. This has a nice clean ball point pen signature, he was inducted to the Hall in 1967 and passed away in 1987.

Friday, August 5, 2022

The National - Sam Snead

The final piece bought from the same dealer at The National last Friday is a JSA Certified signed check by Sam Snead.  Interesting piece as it was a check written to purchase a 1983 BMW for $24,000, it would be great to find a picture of him with the car.  This was a needed signature for my Golf HOF collection.

Thursday, August 4, 2022

The National - Jason Taylor

This is the second piece I bought at the National last Friday It's JSA Certified Jason Taylor 8x10 I also didn't have Jason before so he becomes the # 256 different autograph in my Football HOF Autograph Collection.
