#CCC_Friday

I had made a claim a couple Friday's ago I claimed these 2 autographs from @dcnowlan.  Nice new adds to the autograph collection.

1. C.J. Wilson - 2010 Hit # A95 #'d 97/250.
2. Quinton Rollins - 2015 Hit #A2.

Alfonso Plummer

I made a claim on the #CCC_Friday thread on X.  Interesting that this one became a "Trade" as the person @connorryanh I had claimed from then claimed one of my posted cards. My side is this 2022 Panini Chronicles Donruss Elite Alfonso Plummer.  I don't buy any basketball so adding autos to the collection for a stamp is great.

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.

1. Demetrius Williams - 2006 Bowman Chrome # 265.
2. Carlos Henderson - 2017 Sage Hit Premier Draft # A-52.
