Steve commented on Michael Ragsdale's group 'In-Person Autograph Collecting'

I met Tomas Kopecky, 2010 Blackhawks Stanley Cup Champion and Olympian, on Thursday at "Chronicles Of The Cursed" haunted house; Chicago, IL. He was real nice and even took pictures with people. The people that worked there were telling…

Mark, no I didnt get anyone else besides Christopher Lloyd. Im not into Star Trek so he's the only reason I went to the convention.

Mark and Bob, I went to the Star Trek Connvention and got Christopher Lloyd. He was real nice and added inscriptions if you asked. Mr. Nimoy had to cancell his trip due to illness. Creation posted the info on their website and even told you at the…

Mark, if you go to the Hollywood Show in Chicago make sure you ask them if the person you want to meet is there before you pay to get in. Last fall I went there to meet Val Kilmer. Paid to get in, walked around the small room once looking for his…

Thank you very much for you input on the Greatful Dead picture. I took it back to the auction house and got a refund. Just sucks because I bought it for a Christmas present. Thanks again. Steve

Steve commented on Rufi Cole's group 'Sports Autographs'

I was wondering if anyone has tried getting an autograph through the mail for Raiders HOFer Fred Biletnikoff? I met him a few weeks ago at an autograph convention here in Chicago and got my Hall Of Fame helmet signed but I wanted to hang a picture…

Hi I recently bought an autographed 8x10 picture of the Greatful Dead from a charity auction. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they think its worth. Thanks

Steve replied to Louis Becerra's discussion 'Removing Inscriptions/Stray Marks From Your Items' in the group Tricks of the Trade

Thanks for the info. Ill have to be extra careful because Im not trying to remove the inscriptions, just trying to clean it up some. Those inscriptions cost $10 a piece lol.

Steve replied to Louis Becerra's discussion 'Preparing glossy items for signing' in the group Tricks of the Trade

I just learned about these tricks not too long ago. I wish I would have known them sooner. I have a few magazines and cards where the sharpie didnt catch the surface.

What would be the best way to clean up these inscriptions that got smeared? Its a full size batting helmet signed with paint pen. Thanks

Steve commented on Rufi Cole's group 'Sports Autographs'

Id have to say no Jeff. Its a an accomplishment just to get to the big game. I myself have a Super Bowl program that Ive been getting signed by Bears players even though they lost to the Colts. Many other people in the autograph lines have them too.…

Profile Information

What kind of member are you? Industry professionals must use their real names and identify themselves as such. (You don't have to pick just one!): Collector

What do you collect, or want to start collecting?: Sports, Modern Hollywood and Stage, Classic Hollywood and Stage, Music, SciFi, Horror, Space/Aviation/Military

Tell us more about your collection, specific areas of interest, etc.:: 99% of my collection Ive gotten in person. Its mostly sports, mainly because thats who does the most signings in the Chicago area. Im fairly new to this in terms of how long Ive been collecting 3-4 years, but the number of signings Ive been to gives me more experience than most. If anyone needs any tips just ask or if youre in the Chicago area I got the hook up on where every sports signing is. I also try to get extra autographs to sell and have very good prices, at least 1/2 off mall prices.

What is your level of expertise?: Intermediate Collector

What is your favorite autograph in your collection?: I have way too many to pick one. Some of my best are:

Piece of a table that Edge put Matt Hardy through, signed by Edge.

Hall Of Fame Football Helmet signed by Dan Hampton, Mike Ditka, Dick Butkus, Mel Renfro, Paul Hornung, Charley Trippi, and Gale Sayers (Gale Sayers wouldnt put HOF).

Blackhawks Jersey signed by Kris Versteeg, Johnathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Jeremy Roenick, Bobby Hull HOF, Pierre Pilote HOF, Denis Savard HOF, Tony Esposito HOF ROY, and Stan Mikita. (Stan Mikita wouldnt put HOF)

Why do you collect?: Its a fun hobby and very addicting. Makes a good decoration for your house too. Its a good reason to get out and do something and theres always interesting people in line to talk to.

You can ask anyone living or dead for their autograph. Who would it be?: Any football HOFer, Star Wars Cast, Bill Murray, Michael Jordan.

I set up the group because Steve Cyrkin was going to invite a bunch of dealers and, I don't know... I guess I pictured the group as their own club house.

As it stands now, the group isn't really functional. Were you looking for a group or a forum where you could communicate with dealers? Or are you a dealer? (It didn't look like it from your profile...)
