Jadeveon Clowney

With autographing at the Ravens games getting harder I figured I should look for some of the newer guys that have certified autographs on eBay and came across and won this 2015 Topps Field Access # 65 for about $5 so will make a nice place holder until I can get him in person.

Jack Butler

Yesterday I added Bill Cowher to the HOF autograph Collection today another Steeler Jack Butler who is my 276th HOF in the collection this was listed on ebay and I made an offer that was accepted, so I feel good about this one. Jack passed away in 2013, the signed picture came with a ticket from the event in 2011 where Jack was an autograph guest.

Tavius Robinson

I purchased this 2023 Panini Prizm Draft Picks #DPA-TAR Tavius Robinson card off EBay for less than $3.  Tavius was Drafted by the Ravens in the 4th round out of Ole Miss.  With autographs getting harder to obtain at Ravens games I'm filling in when I can by purchasing or trading for them.

Staten Island

Friday night I went to Lancaster for the opening game of the final regular season series with Staten Island.  I did autographs before the game but that was slim pickings as the guys I wanted and had stuff for weren't in the starting line-up or where pitchers and none of them came out prior to the game actually starting.  I was only able to get 2 people 1 card by Kelsie Whitmore & 3 cards from Manager Homer Bush.  I did also find a batting practice ball in the seats when the gates opened.

Jim Finks

I found a signed book on EBay about Jim Finks Sr. Football Hall of Famer as an Administrator and is also in the Vikings ring of honor and Saints HOF.  The book and the Christmas card that came with it are signed by his son who was an author So I kinda messed that up thinking it was Sr. autographed but the book came out in 2003 Sr. died in 1994 and Jr. passed away in 2012. So just a signed book not an HOF added autograph to the collection still a nice piece.

Kyu Blu Kelly

I purchased this 2023 Panini Chronicles Impeccable Draft of Kyu Blu Kelly Canvas Creations # CC-KBK #'d 133/199 off of EBay as he was the Ravens 5th round draft pick this year. I was thinking I would need him for the Ravens all-time roster autograph collection, But he was one of the cuts on cut down day and then claimed by Seattle. with that he will be one of the few players drafted by the Ravens to not play for them and will still find it's way into my Ravens autograph binder for that reason.  It's a nice card and was at a minimal price.
