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.

Jim Leyland Team USA Champions

Jim Leyland Team USA Manager

One of the highlights for my family and I this World Baseball Classic season, was meeting the manager of team USA. Jim Leyland was nice enough to sign this autograph for my kids and I. He was his usual grumpy self, but we watched Jim Leyland down here in Miami when he was the manager of the Marlins and led them to their first World Series Championship of the franchise, and we got to love Jim and his ways. Regardless, of his grumpy appearance, he was very nice and is very approachable. So if you want to add his autograph to your collection of autographed baseballs, I give Jim Leyland a thumbs up for the chance to meet him and talk to him. Congratulations on the victory Jim!!!
