    << <i>Anyone out there LMK if you need a Floyd Little RC for that Denver signing coming up. I will have an extra at the end of the week. And if anyone has a low low grade 61 Don Maynard RC, PM me. >>



    You probably already know this, but Floyd Little is a good TTM signer. I just sent 5 cards (including his rc) and a donation to his house. Also, good luck trying to find a Maynard rc. I looked for over a month and finally had to pay $40 or $50 for an exmt example. It was more than I wanted to spend, however I had a difficult time finding one for a reasonable price.

  • << <i>Reese,

    That sig doesn't look that nice. It appears like its bubbling and even a tiny smeared. I'm really nervous about getting my cards back.

    I called the promoter yesterday evening and asked where my cards were. He said that my cards were still there. He had the cards but wasn't sure who they belonged to. It's the last time that I use this dealer.

    Rgs,

    Greg M. >>



    It doesn't look that bad in hand, it may just be because it's magnified.

    Well - after 3 weeks and 2 phone calls I finally received my cards today...and both Jimmy Johnson autographs look HORRIBLE. The 2 Lamonica autographs look decent (a thicker marker was used, but at least the autographs aren't smeared/bubbling) but the Johnson autographs are a lost cause. $40 down the drain plus the cost of the cards. To boot, the idiot dealer sends the cards back in a PWE.

    I'll never get another item autographed through World of Sports LLC again.

    That Alworth is AWESOME! I've been dying to find a nice Alworth to get signed. How much did it cost to be signed? I think that he charged $35 to sign TTM.

    Just got these back from a private signing at a price that was too good not to take advantage of... They have the Jerry Rice hologram on the reverse as well:

    Ok,

    Here are a few new additions. First the Jimmy Johnson autographs...which look terrible. I called the promoter and he agreed to reimburse me for the cost of the cards and autographs:

    Next are the 2 Lamonica cards which turned out pretty nice:

    Why? I dunno! I thought I asked for 2 and 2, but alas, I didn't. If there's another signing at the same price, I'd definitely do more. Maybe with a little advance notice, I won't have to crack out any more of my PSA 8's...

    John,

    I'm overly anal about autograph quality (dare I say obsessive). I can't stand autographs that are bubbled or feathered....and the autograph on the Johnson rc was bubbling...due to the crappy marker that was used.

    Bell just signed this weekend at the Philly auto show. It was $22 I think. I sent a card but the PO took 7 days to get (priority) there and they arrived too late. I was really upset.

    Although not technically a rookie card, I just received back my 64 Topps Bills team card signed by Ralph Wilson Jr. It was the first team card of the Bills that was released, so I'll consider it RWJ's rc in my warped little mind...

    Not to malign your message - but John Mackey was featured on 60 Minutes last week. He is in a full care facility and is not always lucid.

    For your own benefit you should double check on this signing.

    Thankfully no, won it off eBay, ugly card (and pic of him) but, it compares nicely to the other Riggins that I have. He is doing the CSA show in 2 weeks, I was considering getting one done then, but I really didn't want to spend that kind of money on him.

    << <i>Riggins also seems to charge an outrageous amount for his auto. I'm definitely waiting for one to show up on ebay as well! >>



    Riggins show price is starting to come down. He didn't sign at shows for years and when he re-surfaced, he was charging $125+. He is signing at an upcoming show (I can't remember which one off the top of my head) and he flat fee was $105. Not a huge decrease...but promising.

    Did anyone see the private signing for Elway coming up? The flat fee is $125 which isn't too bad. I paid around $175 for my GLA several years ago.

    Not much else going on. I have a TON of hof cards outstanding TTM....and have gotten a few back lately (McCormack, Langer, Wilson Jr.) but no signed rc's. I'm starting to suspect the mail man of taking liberties w/ my TTM envelopes!
