DeSean Jackson

About 10 days ago I was on the Ravens Auction site and saw a DeSean Jackson signed Ravens Jersey seemed cheap so I placed the next bid to my surprise 7 hours later I won it.  So signed jersey for less then the cost of a jersey so not a bad add to the collection.

Dave Johnson

A couple weeks ago Jim went to an event in Hanover, PA where Former Oriole pitcher Dave Johnson was a guest bartender and he picked me up a couple signed postcards.

Stack Sale

Toys for Tots # 2 - Capitals

Jim and I went to Prince Frederick Chrysler Jeep Dodge for the Toys for Tots event pretty straight forward donation some toys get some autographs of the Capital Alumni Braden Holtby (2 8x10's), Mike Green (4 8x10's), Karl Alzner (3 Cards) & Craig Laughlin (He was leaving as we were getting into the signing area, I got a card signed as he walked by and he had signed a stack of postcards so picked up 1 of those from the table).  Was from 12-2PM when you donated the toys they gave you a numbered wrist band and called 20 at a time so we were 230 so it took a while when you got to the table it was 1 person at a time so it was organized and the guys where friendly and signed  freely.  Nice event I have attended 4 signings at this dealership since 2018 usually have 2 a year.  See below for some pictures of signers and items.

Mammoth WVH & Nita Strauss

My friend Mike had someone cancel on him so he had a ticket for the Saturday night show for Mammoth WVH & Nita Srauss at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA. Was a great show Nita set was about 45 minutes and Mammoth's at about an hour and half. Set-list links below along with some links to some songs.  Of course we had decided not to do autographs for this show as they had meet & greets for sale and we had seen Nita before and she only did the meet & Greet.  Well this night she went to the Merchandise Table with the whole band for pictures and signing. by the time we realized they were their the line was set and it was close for Mammoth to hit the stage I did snap a quick picture of her.

Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens

Yesterday I went to the Browns @ Ravens game and did autographs before and after wasn't a great day auto wise and a worse day game wise as the Ravens once again blew a 14 point fourth quarter game.  As for the autos I was able to get 22 people and a total of 35 autographs with the limited access and the increased security it's depressing how much less fan friendly it is right now.  With the weather getting colder I'm debating if I'm going down for anymore games as I've sold 2 of the remaining 4 games and 2 I have are Dec 31 and whenever the last game gets scheduled.  In addition to the autos Browns DE Alex Wright was nice enough to give me a Salute to Service glove and sign it.  Here are what and who I got along with some pictures.

Brett Favre

I had been looking for a Brett Favre Autograph to add to my Football HOF auto Collection.  I was involved in a stack sale on X when the seller posted a signed Vikings 8x10 with an Official Brett Favre Certification it was more then I wanted to pay it went unclaimed for a day so I made an offer and he accepted it.  Brett is the 277th different Hall of Famer in my collection I need 94 more and have just under 75% of the everyone in the Hall.

Lynch Mob

I purchased on pre-order the new Lynch Mob CD Babylon and with the Pre-order it came with a second Booklet that was autographed I received this about a week ago and was dissatisfied with the quality of the autographs as they used gold paint  pens 1 is all but smeared off and the other 3 look watery and separated, I contacted the distributor and they refunded so ok with it would have still liked the better signatures but they aren't available as I had asked for a replacement of the signed booklet.  The booklet is signed by all 4 members on the CD including George Lynch - Guitarist, Gabriel Colon - Vocals, Jimmy Danda - Drums  & Jaron Gulino - Bass.

Trade # 27

I made an X trade with fellow collector @WashingtonFan9 it wasn't a big one and was shipped PWE but my side was these 2 autographs that I didn't have in my collection so nice adds.

2. Carlos Henderson - 2017 Sage Hit Premier Draft # A-52.
