I picked up a cheap lot of Football Hall of Famers because I was looking for a Bud Grant and there was a signed postcard signed in purple sharpie in the lot the other 7 I already had but might do something with them they are Aeneas Williams, Harry Carson, Dick Vermeil, Dan Fouts, Mick Tinglehoff, Jim Langer & Joe Schmidt. Mr Grant is my 273rd Football HOFer in my autograph collection need 98 more!

Paul Brown

I bought a signed copy of PB: The Paul Brown Story off of Ebay.  Mr. Brown was one the Football HOFers I needed, I now have 272 and need 99 more. Nice bold autograph and the book is pretty good condition for being almost 45 years old.

Brett Hundley

I purchased this 2015 Leaf Draft Armed & Dangerous Brett Hundley # AD-BH1 #'d 11/20 on EBay on January 25th and paid for it that day.  About 2 weeks later I had not received it so emailed seller told me he forgot to ship it and it would go out and he would refund me the price.  I got the refund and didn't receive the card figured that was why he refunded and didn't ship until today 6 weeks later the card shows up.......WOW whatever not sure that's great customer service but basically got it for nothing and needed it for the Ravens autograph collection so I'll take it Brett was active for a few games end of last season and is now in the XFL.

Chris Bourque - Hershey Bears

Jim and I went to the Hershey Bears game on Saturday night with Springfield.  The main reason was the Jersey number retirement of Chris Bourque # 17.  We thought that Chris' Dad would be there former NHLer and Hall of Famer Ray Bourque.  Ray was there I did ask him as he was coming off the ice after the pregame ceremony which was a cool no looked and kept walking.......  Below are a couple pictures from the pregame.  Was nice ceremony and the Bears won the game 6-2, but got nothing signed at this one.
