The Ravens traded for Alohi Gilman a few weeks ago and I didn't have his autograph so I purchased a cheap one from EBay for about $6 shipped. I haven't seen him sign at the couple home games since he's been on the team so figured why not. See a picture of the card below.
I needed a Ryan Cooper as he was with the Ravens for a short time, and I never got him in person. I figured I saw this one on EBay and it wasn't a lot of money so figured I'd buy it.
Someone I know on Facebook went to a Dick's House of Sport in store signing with former Yankee Star Bernie Williams on November 1st. He was able to get 2 handouts signed (Which was all he was signing) so he had one available and we came to a deal with mine arriving in today's mail.
I have needed an autograph of Jermaine Whitehead since he was briefly on the Ravens roster back in 2015. I found one on EBay but it was more than I wanted to spend, but the next day I was offered it at 50% so I bought it. The item is an 8x10 and has him in Auburn Uniform.
I missed these 2 3x5 autographs on my first post so figured I would do an additional post for them. I did get Ravens Jacob Hummel & Lukas Scott see picture below of there autographs.
Yesterday Everett & I went to the Ravens game and did autographs before the game. I was able to get 20 autographs from 11 players. After the game I did get John Harbaugh's Hat and Tylan Wallace's Game towel. The win was the most important thing that happened as gets Ravens to 2-5 and 2 games behind the Steelers who lost last night, we have 2 games with them so there is a path to the playoffs just have to go step by step week by week. Pictures of autos and items below with a listing of the autographs. JJ Watt did the game for CBS for the second time this season in Baltimore but didn't sign.

Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu was a Ravens 6th round draft pick back in 2023 he dressed for just 2 games and he didn't sign when I saw him so with him long gone I needed an autograph for the Ravens all-time roster. These 2 8x10's where offered by the same seller and paid less than $6 each. So not to bad to get him off my need list as he is out of the NFL at this point.
A friend doesn't collect baseball and got this 2013 Bowman Jonathan Gray # BDPP26 so he sent it to me. He also makes Custom Ravens cards and I asked him for a basic Tony Siragusa card which he also sent to me. I then had a hat that I was going to throw out but it had a Tony autograph so I repurposed it in to a cut Hat Relic card. See both cards below.
Everett and I went to the 1 PM Rams at Ravens game at M&T Bank Stadium. The game wasn't great for the home team as they fell 17-3 and are now 1-5. We did autographs before the game and was able to get a total of 42 autos from 32 Players. This was twice as many as last week which was probably the worst week ever for me at a game. Tom Brady did the game for Fox and Ray Lewis was at the game so some fun interaction between the 2 pregame. see below for a list of what I got signed and pictures from the game. Post game was able to also get a Skull Cap from the Ravens Travis Jones.

I went to Central Penn College for the show they have quarterly I believe it's about 40 minutes away so I don't always go. This show also has increased Pokémon card vendors which I have zero interest in. I went looking for some cards that I can try and get signed in the future. I was able to find some Rams for tomorrow, Ravens for this season and found a few for the Hershey Bears. Also purchased 4 autographs 2 baseball and 2 hockey. In total I got 49 cards for $18.
This autograph was from the Texans Ravens game was misplaced in my book and just found it today is of Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair.
Yesterday I went to the Texans 44-10 blow out of the Ravens! Horrible game by the Ravens enough said! As for autographs it was also a bad day for that as well with only getting a total of 19 autos from 13 players from both teams. The Texans had a guy at the player tunnel telling players not to stop there were 6-10 players that were going to sign and push into the tunnel and didn't sign. First time ever seeing that at M&T Bank Stadium. Also the National broadcast was CBS and JJ Watt had the game and was turned down 3 different time before & after the game outside Stadium and also at the press box. In addition to the game there was a halftime concert by Tyler Hubbard (Florida Georgia Line). I was able to get a Skull Cap from Kenyon Green after the game too. All in all great weather for an October Football game besides that it wasn't great lol.

Last night Everett and I went to The Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA for the Geoff Tate concert. This concert included the playing of the entire Queensryche Operation Mindcrime album. There was 2 opening acts both were just ok first was Tomas McCarthy and then Indio Downey. As for the headliner portion Tate played about 2 hours first half of the show was the Mindcrime album with the second half being various career spanning queensryche songs for the complete set-list see the picture below as I was able to get one and a couple of picks from guitarists James Brown & Kieran Robertson.

I purchased this 2024 Panini Contenders # 157 autograph of Julian Pearl off of eBay he's in a Ravens uniform but never played for them or even made the roster, but since I collect Ravens autos I figured for a couple bucks I should add it to the collection.
I went to the first game on Saturday night between High Point and York. This is a close win for York and a dominate performance by York's starting pitcher Chris Vallimont who went the distance and struck out 15. I was able to get 7 players 6 of which were from High Point and just Vallimont after the game from York.
Once again I made a PWE trade with @collec_sport from X. My side was 5 PC Ravens and 7 autographs that are listed below along with a picture of all the cards received.
I needed a LaJohntay Wester autograph for my Ravens All-Time autograph collection and he hasn't seemed into signing before games. So I found this 2025 Leaf Optichrome # BA-LJW #'d 9/10 on ebay for less than $5. Pretty nice card and will be a nice place holder until I can get him in person.
In the mail today I received this 2008 SPX Terrell Thomas # 224 autograph #'d 006/199. Total cost was 80 cents so a nice cheap addition to the collection.
As part of the X Sunday Thread hosted by @ngtcollectibles for free cards make a claim and post for others to claim all are sent PWE so basically cheap trades in a sense. So I made 2 claims on different Sundays from @MBalsley. The cards I received were 2 baseball autographs first is a Mitch Spence 2021 Leaf Metal Draft # SP-MS1, the second was a Zach Remillard 2024 Topps Finest autograph # FA-ZR #'d 049/125. Both are great adds to the collection. Thanks to both for hosting and posting. See both actual cards below.
I received a PWE in the mail today and inside was a gift from Greg Barry who I knew from X. He sent me a signed 2008 Bowman # BDP23 of Eric Hurley.
I made a claim on 8/29's #PWEFriday on X and the card arrived to this came from @connorryanh. The card is a 2025 Panini USA Stars & Stripes # NTS-JL autograph of Junior Lopez.
Yesterday Dave & I went down to the Ravens game for autographs was a blow out win for the Ravens 41-17. Was also a couple of Raven/Colts celebrations Colts 50 Year for the 1975 team and also the 30th year of the Ravens had pregame and halftime ceremonies. As for the autographing I got a total of 53 autographs from 39 people. see below a list of who and what I got signed and pictures of the items along with a couple from the game and ceremonies.
