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.

Roquan Smith

I purchased this Roquan Smith 2019 Panini Donruss # SM-11 autograph off ebay I needed one for my Ravens auto PC but wound up getting him in person the next home game.  Either way this is a nice add of the best Middle LB in Football. took about 3 weeks to actually receive the card after paying for it so not a great seller but hey it arrived safely so not the biggest deal.

David Ojabo & Jeremiah Attaochu

I purchased these 2 cards of ebay about a week or so ago from 2 different sellers both are Ravens autograph collection needs as I wasn't able to get either this season and Attaochu was only a Raven for a few weeks so this was the easiest way to add Attaochu,  Ojabo this will be a place holder until I'm able to get him in person I'm assuming he will be with the Ravens for a few years going forward.

  1. Jeremiah Attaochu - 2015 Leaf Draft # A-JA1.
  2. David Ojabo - 2022 Panini Select # RS-DOJ.

Fran Tarkenton

I purchased this PSA/DNA autographed Fran Tarkenton B&W photo from EBay.  Fran is my 266th member of the football HOF that I have an autograph in my collection.  Photo is old shows some wear but was a good price and was already certified so was a nice addition.

HOF Trade

I made a twitter trade after posting that I was looking for certain Football HOFers autographs and @GrejdaL replied with 3 players I had interest in.  Kevin Greene, Howie Long & Bill Polian, we were able to come to terms and these 3 have been added to the Football HOF Autograph Collection that stands at 265 now that these are in hand.

Friday, January 6, 2023

Lawrence Taylor

I found this nice JSA witnessed Lawrence Taylor B&W 8x10 on EBay had forgot I had bid on it until I received a notification that I won it so never got to my Max bid so a nice add to the football HOF autograph collection which now is at 262 members so I need 100 more to have them all lol some are big dollars and others I've never even seen so probably will be awhile but nice to keep chipping away.
