    - 1991 UD Lemieux, Gretzky, Hull
    - 1990 Score Sup. Emmitt Smith
    - 1991 ProSet Ted Nugent
    - 1991 Score Aeneas Williams
    - 1994 Flair Lynette Woodard

    I am still way behind updated my scans but here are a few more. My buddy Jes hooked me up with a sweet Lemieux, Gretzky, Hull multi signed card that he got signed by all three at Jordan's Charity golf event earlier this year. I also got back my Emmitt Smith rc that was signed on consignment at Tahoe this year. I am a little disappointed he signed it on the back but for the price he charges at shows I am happy to use this for my registry for now. I guess the alternative would have been to get it personalized and I would much rather have it signed on the back than one with a personalization made out to someone else.

    - 1985 OPC Cowboy Bob Orton HOF
    - 1983 Topps Marcus Allen HOF (eBay)

    I got a sweet TTM back today from Arvydas Sabonis that I needed for my basketball HOF RC registry set. I sent the card out to him TTM last year and had forgot about it. He is a fairly difficult graph to get now since he no longer lives in the US.

    Wow I am going to have to go through this thread for sure!!!

    I am sure you know this but Sabonis has two stickers in the 1986 Panini set. I never pulled his base card from the box I broke but did pull a foil one. If you want it I will certainly send it your way.

    Keep up the great work!!!

    Real nice results John. You got me thinking about sending out some more TTMs. In the past year I have sent out less than a dozen.

    I had a great week of TTM returns this week. Danica Patrick was also in town for the race this weekend. She did a free signing at a local Dollar store the sponsors her. I would have liked to get a 2006 A&G rc signed but I couldn't find one at my local shops, so I decided to get her on a ball instead. I also picked up a few PSA/DNA rc's off of eBay for my football HOF registry set. Now I just need to get them crossed over to red flips.

    I've had a few nice TTM returns come in. I am a little disappointed that Sampson personalized my card and misspelled my name since I included a modest donation. I will probably replace it the next time he does a signing. I was really pleased with how my Hakeem turned out. I am now torn if I will pay for Shaq at the SunTimes show in November. His signing fee is pretty high but I really don't know when the next time I would be able to get him. I might just suck it and try and sell a few things before the show to help ease the pain.

    Nice Aziz, John. He has the worst autograph ever. I have two - one from 3 years ago and he did his full name and then one from last year that's even less nicely done than yours.

    Nice Autographs. Didn't know Dick Barnett's signature looked like that with only the last name . I got Archie Clark back signed for $10. He personalized it. It looks nice. How many 1969s do you have now? I got 75. It would be nice if Billy Cunningham , Hal Greer, and Earl Monroe would do some signings.

    I had a decent haul at the celeb pro-am at the Ryder Cup today. I was shocked at the number of people there were since it was only a practice round today. It was difficult graphing both the celebs and the players since they were split up on different parts of the course, so I stuck with just trying to get the celebrities. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get Phelps or Bill Murray and I wound up missing them by a couple people on 5-6 or occasions. However, I was very happy to get Pippen twice at the end of the day after missing him on the first 7 holes.

    Awesome Ray Lewis. $79 is very reasonable. That card should be at least $200 slabbed. How many 69's is that for you. I'm one of the few to actually get Walt Hazzard ttm. Also got Adrian Smith from his work. If not for the Red Flip Special, would have gone for Lewis on my 1996 Bowman's Best.

    - NBA 50 Litho Scottie Pippen
    - 2000 Topps Chrome Richard Hamilton
    - 1986 Fleer Sidney Green

    The Bulls had their annual season ticket holder event today at the UC. The event is complete chaos and you have to make mad dash as soon as the gates open to get in line for an autograph. D Rose canceled at the last minute so over 10,000 people wanted to get a signature from Pippen. Within 2 minutes of the gates opening there had to be at least 500 people in line for Pippen. Thankfully I got lucky and the gate where I was waiting was only 25 feet from Pippen's table. I was also able to get a rc signed by Richard Hamilton for my future HOF rc set and a 86 rc of Sidney Green for my 1986 Fleer set.

    Those Cunningham and Greer are real nice. Bob Kauffman didn't personalize when I tried him. Of the 1969s only Attles and Archie Clark personalized. Dick Van Arsdale personalized one of the 2.

    I have tried Kauffman twice over the past few years and he personalized both of my cards. He has been the only player that I have received back TTM to personalize my 69 cards. I guess I got lucky because Attles and Clark just signed their name on my card.
  • Options
    To get Archie Clark even personalized is good. Pretty much every Attles I've seen ttm is personalized. Bob Kauffman personalized my Index Card but didn't it for my 1969.

    It's been pretty slow for TTM returns over the past few weeks. I was able to add few to my Donruss golf set. I now have 59 of the 65 cards in the set signed. I also came across a pretty cool pickup. I met a local collector at a card shop that sold me a John Tresvant card for my 69 set for really cheap. The signature is poor since it looks like he retraced the signature after the first pen wasn't working. The card is difficult to find signed and I'm happy just to have one for my 69 collection.

    Wow. Those are 2 of the toughest 7 cards in the set. Ron Williams, Jimmy Walker. NICE! McCarter and Luke Jackson aren't pushovers either. I still think the set isn't completable because of the Gus Johnson (which few exist but HOF collectors now covet it too) but you'll surely get to at least 92-94 now.

    Here is my haul from the SunTimes show. I was hesitant to spend the money to get Shaq on my litho but I figured I might never be able to get him any other way. I was really happy to see him give me a full signature and not just sign "Shaq" which seemed to be what most people received on their items. I was also pretty pumped to get a rc signed by Ric Flair. He was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up.

    This was also the first show where I had any luck finding autographed cards for my signed sets I'm working on. I found a 69 Topps Luther Rackley for a steal in some guys bin of random autographed cards. .

    I had a couple cards I forgot to scan that I got signed at the SunTimes show. Urlacher and Sheryl Swoopes are both future HOF'ers IMO so I figure I would get a rc signed at the show for my HOF sets. Briggs did a local radio show tonight and i feel he will eventually get into the HOF as well being a 7x+ pro bowler, so I decided to get a rc signed by him as well for my HOF rc set.

    It's been a grueling past couple weekends. I attended both the WhiteSox and Cubs conventions. This was the first time that I have attended both and really tried to get as many players autographs as possible. I attended both events with a few friends and we tried to help each other out when we could. Most of the signatures came from just randomly running into the players around the convention. Probably the most difficult part was being able to identifying who the player was since the majority of them are minor leaguers or ex-players that I haven't seen in the past 10-20 years. It is too difficult to take photos of everything, so I am just scanning the cards and taking photos of the baseballs that I got signed. Here are the totals of everything I got signed at each of the conventions.

    Harold Baines 2/2 (8x10, 91 Desert Shield)

    - 1958 Topps Bobby Hull

    I have really been slacking and haven't uploaded scans in a long time. Hopefully one of these days I will take a few hours and update this thread with the other cards I have added to my collection over the past few months. I am still collecting signed HOF rc's and I figured it was time to bust out the scanner since this has been a white whale of mine since I got back into collecting autographs in 2009. This card is probably the most expensive card I have ever got signed and I was a littler nervous getting it signed and was worried he might smear it since Bobby is getting up there in age and often has a tremor in his hands and sometimes has a difficult time signing small items. Thankfully it turned out great and I am really excited to finally add this to my collection. I have got Bobby's signature at least a dozen times over the years and he has to be one of the friendliest athletes out there.
