Rock YA-Sin

Rock was with the Ravens last season I didn't get him to sign or ever saw him sign so I put a bid on a signed 8x10 from Ravens Auctions with a Beckett Authentication which I won for $6 but then came the winning email and the extra charges to a total of $23 but I sent a question on the shipping they had listed and they refunded half so the total damage was about $15 not that bad and a nice add to the Ravens autograph collection I had a card already but this is in Baltimore uniform so is an upgrade as well.
