I received a John Travolta TTM today. I didn't ask for it. It was a surprise. I had sent a letter asking Mr. Travolta if the picture I had gotten was a secretarial or authentic? I didn't expect a response. I received a picture today with the inscription Mark- IT is me! Enjoy!
That's mean if he really didn't sign it. Lol
I got an autograph off of ebay of wrestler brad armstrong for 5 bucks and a return from joe fraziier with a price list of what he charges for autos. I will have to probably pass on what he charges though!

Charlie Rich
Jimmy Makar
Rik Smits
Dick Button
Albie Pearson

Larry Nelson
Martin Brodeur
Jesse Solomon
Roland Sheldon

Spectacular mail day!
Added Aunt Kitty to my G.L.O.W. autograph collection today! Also got back Larry "The Living Legend" Zbyszko. I got him to sign a picture that was previously signed by Nick Bockwinkle. I thought that I had lost it because it was gone so long! I also added a Listia auction of a signed cassette insert of 2 members of The Power Team. I haven't identified who signed it, but half of the fun is tracking them down. I'll keep you posted once I identify them!
I got a Sophia Loren autograph TTM today. I don't know why but I used an envelope instead of a photo mailer for my return address. Of course, one corner is a little bent. It could have been far worse. Stupid mistake on my part.
I got a ttm from ronnie milsap. I also got my listia wins of autographs of jerry casale, willie gault, ron francis, hershel walker, mark calcavecchia, tom cubany, and george lindsey. From wwe shop.com i ordered a john cena dvd, tshirt, and autographed john cena card in the mail also.
The past few days mail have brought me several nice autographs. In the past week, I have received autographed University of Georgia Collegiate Collections cards of former UGA football greats Pat Dye and Dennis Hughes, as well as an autographed Georgia Tech Collegiate Collections card of former Tech football great John Dewberry. Pat Dye was an All-American offensive/defensive lineman for UGA in 1959 and 1960, as well as a fantastic college head coach for Wyoming, East Carolina, and Auburn. Dennis Hughes was an excellent tight end for the Bulldogs from 1967-1969, and was an All-SEC selection. John Dewberry was an Academic All-American for Georgia Tech in 1985, and really helped turn that program around in the 1980's. He also sent along a very nice note thanking me for the letter and recalling all his great games at quarterback. What a class act! .
After a 3 day drought, my mailman finally brought something worth posting. I received signed cards fro former Detroit Piston Joe Dumars and a Listia auction that I won of former major leaguer Todd Greene.
after a couple weeks dry myself, i finally hit pay dirt. first off the mail came early, thats a first.I received three different envelopes. The first was from Bernie kosar of the cleveland browns, he sent a great 8x10 signed. the second was a package from fred rodgers neighborhood. they sent me three signed 5x7 black and whites, including mr. mc feely. this is a special success seeing i grew up with t his program. and finally the last package was a large one. this turned out to be a personally signed book from jackie collins. personalized to me and my wife... a great friday all and all.
fred rodgers passed away a couple years ago, but i received three nice signed personalized pictures from a few of the cast. I also received lady aberlaine a few months back.
Good way to start the week. I received Listia winnings consisting of signed hero card of Dale Jarrett, Max Papis and Elliott Sadler. I also got a ttm success from WWE superstar and Nexus member Heath Slater! I sent to Slater c/o FCW.
I got autographs from richard petty and tna wrestlings dixie carter. I asked dixie carter for autos of vince russo and dlo brown but instead got autographs of madison rayne and velvet sky which was very nice of her any way.Also got my listia win of a signed ricky jordan card from russ robinson. Thanks russ for an an awsome autograph!
Today's mail brought me a signed 5x7 picture of former University of Georgia great, Matt Stinchcomb. Matt was a 2-time All-American offensive tacklevfor the Bulldogs in the late 1990's, and now does a lot of college football broadcasting work. He personalized it to me and put "Woof Woof!" What a stand up guy!
someone asked me at a show recently about mail order autographs and how would she know if they were actually signed by the artist... and not someone else.
my response was - you don't. Any better answers out there?
Yesterday's mail brought to me 1 autograph, and one semi-autograph! The autograph was of Angels baseball prospect, Reggie Willits. Reggie had a tough go of it early on this season, but wound up having a really nice year and is a bright spot for things to come. The semi-autograph was of Twins catcher, Joe Mauer. It was a post card of him saying he just found a big bag of his mail, and was answering it, and that he prefered to sign autographs for his fans in person, and that he hoped I understood, and please accept this post card, and he signed it "Joe." It looks like it was actually signed, but I will need to take a closer look-see to really be sure. All in all, a nice surprise in the mail.
I gota ttm in the mail from artist stan goldberg who does the archies comics. Also got an autograph from hemans hermits fred lipsius and actor kyle machlan. Then from elmers nostalgia i got and ordered an autographed picture from olivia newton john. I hope everyone had an awsome thanks giving!
Received a couple of signed football cards from Listia. The first is a 2006 Bowman Signs of the Future of Patriots tightend Dave Thomas. The second card is of former Miami Dolphins defensiveback Don McNeal.
Today I received a signed photograph from Sheila Mann , she
Was one of the Golddiggers on the Dean Martin Show . Plus the other Golddigers also sent me a signed photograph
hope everyone had a great thanksgiving but now it is back to the grind of collecting. received an email from sundance pictures they are sending out robert redford auto for me and my son. hopfully more then that comes in soon. i enjoy getting those successes. hey russ, quick questions. what is listia, im still learning the tricks of the trades.
UPDATE: After careful review and looking at some PSA and JSA authentic signatures, I have determined that the Joe Mauer postcard is ghost signed. The "J" in Joe is not very tight at the top of a typical Joe Mauer autograph, and he also does not fully spell out the "oe" in Joe, either, like on my postcard. Just an FYI to all you Twins fans out there!
Just saw this on TMZ.com.
