Jason Kidd Gets The Call To The Hall

, , ,

Jason Kidd – HOF 2018

A moment that many of us have waited for…Jason Kidd, and the Call to the Hall…2018 Hall of Fame. Jason Kidd has really done it all, NBA Championship, long career, coach, that is just about as full circle as a career gets. So as an autograph collector and memorabilia enthusiast I jumped on the opportunity to take a shot and meet him, and he did not disappoint. Jason Kidd as the coach of the Milwaukee Bucks did not disappoint me. I met him in Miami, while the Bucks were playing the Miami Heat.

So the low down on the kidd was, he would not sign, and if he did it would be a good experience. That is the main reason, that I my friends, don’t listen to anyone when it comes to graphs, and encounters. I treated the guy with respect, and not only did he sign multiples for me, he took the time to make sure that he did not dark-spot any of the pics that he signed for me. For those of you that do not know what a dark-spot is, basically when an autograph gets done, and most of the graph is not legible because of the black or dark colored sharpie or pen, blends into the background of the photo. Thus dark-spot. I would like to personally thank Jason Kidd for the encounter, and I wish you many good things!!!

Boston Celtics – Kyrie Irving Autographed Jersey

Kyrie Irving – Boston Celtics Autographed Jersey

The Boston Celtics were in town, and we made it a point to attempt to get Kyrie to autograph a new Boston Celtics jersey. From previous years, it seemed that this would not be too difficult. However, the rain did not cooperate in Miami, and through it all he was true to his word, and even signed autographs in the rain. Which I can tell you it is very difficult to get them to sign most of the time, in beautiful Florida weather.

He assured us both en-route to the shoot around, and upon returning from the shoot around that he would sign prior to leaving for the game. He was true to his word. While the rest of the Celtics were a bust, he was stellar. I want to personally thank him for the effort, and not disappointing anyone that took the time to wait for him. Once again, he displayed that he is a class act. Thanks again.

Willson Contreras – World Series Champion

Willson Contreras Chicago Cubs – World Series Champion!

During the autograph collecting in 2017 at Miami Marlins park, one of the most gracious signers is none other than Willson Contreras. Each and everyday he signed cards, photos for just about anyone that wanted it. Some people may be of the opinion that he should have, but nonetheless he is a member of the Chicago Cubs team that busted the World Series jinx! Should or not, he did and was very humble and gracious about it.

The World Series can sometime change people and their perspective as to when they will sign and how many. Also the constant autograph hounding. I would like to give a huge shout out to Kris Bryant. Bryant was loyal and true to the fans not only taking the time to sign autographs, but went down the line and took photographs with special needs children. That boys and girls is what it is all about in the very, very end!!! Cannot say the same for Anthony Rizzo, Jon Lester, and some of the other well named notables. They did not give any of the fans down here in Miami the time of day!!!

David Wright – 2013 All-Star Ball Inscription Autograph

, , ,

NY Mets Captain shuts it down for the year!!!

Things happen for a reason, and I obtained this David Wright autograph for a reason just the same. I had been unable to land the Captain of the NY Mets for many years now. He is not a tough graph to obtain, it is just difficult to get him. Over the years with the injuries especially. But in reality, David Wright happens to be one of the nicest guys that I have approached for a request.

During the last few weeks before the shut down, he has made him self available for his fans. The Port St. Lucie Mets have had quite the distraction with Tim Tebow, but all and all the team is stacked with very highly skilled high ball Asingle baseball players. Just to name a few here they go…

  • John Mora
  • Justin Dunn
  • Tim Tebow
  • Wuilmur Becerra

Just to name a few. With just a few games winding down, if you have not taken the chance to go and see Tim Tebow, you are missing out on an incredible experience. Only three home games left. Keep on graphing…

Gale Sayers…Brian’s Song

, , , ,

Gale Sayers and The Gale Sayers Foundation!

It’s been a long time since Gale Sayers has carried the ball for a football team, but he tried with good intentions to give back to the community and help out with his foundation. Unfortunately it did not happen. Although there are talks that they are still working to put something together. Both he and Mike Ditka tried unsuccessfully to revive their respective charities. The infortmation for the Gale Sayers charity/foundation is below:

Gale Sayers Foundation
Foundation in Chicago, Illinois
Address: 980 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60654
Phone: (312) 214-3999



I was able to meet Gale Sayers about 18 years ago at a Miami Project to Cure Paralysis venture, he was quite and very polite. That is what I remember the most. As any autograph collector know, meeting someone and getting their autograph is exciting. But getting a crappy autograph is usually something that you never forget. As that goes, Gale Sayers did not disappoint. In addition as you can see by my 18 year old picture, he gave a nice big autograph. If you have any doubt as to the wonders of the Sharpie on a glossy photo, take a gander at this one. Should silence the critics.
