I'm new to this forum but not new to collecting sports cards and memorabilia. Just wondering if there are any autograph collectors on the board.

thanks

    Yep! I collect Hall of Fame autographs and I'm a regular submitter to PSA/DNA.

    Currently waiting for 14 cards from PSA/DNA anytime soon.

    What type of stuff do you have in your collection besides autographed cards?

    I'm an autograph collector myself. However, I can't bring myself to get them 'authenticated' by PSA when I was the one to get the autographs in person. I'm not planning to sell any of the ones I have since I'll probably just want to pass them on down to my kids, etc.

    I mainly collect UDA/WGA Wayne Gretzky items and also SF 49ers/SF Giants/Julius Erving autos. I'm thinking about collecting hockey sticks signed by hockey hof's too.

    I hear ya on the PSA deal. Luckily for me i have obtained all of autographs in person at PSA events so they were then graded right there as a courtesy. Out of the hundreds of autographs i have only one was not acquired in person and that was a Bill Russell ball, but that was acquired from a very reputable source.

    I am attempting to collect the autographs of every University of Florida athlete who has played in the NFL, NBA, and MLB. I have well over 100 of the football players, about half of the baseball, and only need a couple of basketball players (there haven't been that many Gators in the NBA). I send trading cards to some, and custom index cards or photos to the others. Response has been great. I don't know of another collection like it anywhere.

    On the autograph side, I mainly collect Gateway commemorative envelopes. I also have quite a few autographed baseballs.

    Seems like everyone has lots of cool collections.

    What is your favorite piece in your collection?

    Mine would have to be my Bernie Williams 1994 Game Used Bat.

    Anyone else???

    My favorite autographed piece is my Kerwin Bell autographed game-used Toronto Argonauts jersey. It's a cool looking jersey signed by one of the greatest QB's in Gator history. I also like my signed SI cover of Danny Wuerffel.

    I manly collect cards, but have a few vintage baseballs. Now that PSA is going to start slabing any autograph with the word Authentic on them, I'll be soon sending in some cuts of signature so I can add autographs to my HOF set that would be impossible to find on a card.
