Big goose egg on the ttms this week. Thankfully, I received something cool from both swagbucks and Listia.
First off, I received a nice 6x9 signed pic of Internet model Tila Tequila. It took forever to save enough swagbucks for this one.
As far as Listia goes, I received a nice signed lot of cards. Cards of Colin Raye, William Christian, Randy Hillier, Dick Brodowski, Kevin Turner, and David Edwards grace the ol' mailbox today.
I do have one gripe about Listia though. At first, I was excited that more people were asking about the site. I thought that there would be more and a wider variety of autographs to bid on when more collectors joined. Instead, it's still the same people listing autographs with the new members buying credits to bid on auctions with, as opposed to earning the credits by selling thier unwanted stuff. It has really taken the fun out of it for me personally.
Okay here is a question to ask people you have a chance to meet in person and clear things up a little.
If you meet someone in person like I did this past weekend and have mailed them and gotten items returned just ask the following and have the items with you.
"Did you sign the pictures I have here and they will ask where did you get those just answer I mailed you through the mail and see if they verify they do sign them through the mail and then you know.
By the way I met Henry Winkler and Mimi Rogers this weekend and I have mailed them recently and have received the pictures back so I asked them and they both verified that they sign all of the items they receive through the mail.
So now you know at least two and so go forth and mail.
I got autographs from roy clark about a two week turnaround after a third try and after about a two year wait got a nice autograph letter and picture from melody thomas scott from young and the restless fame which was worth the wait!
I recieved a 8x10 of Antique /hobby writer Reyne Haines . we are friends on facebook which is where I asked her. I'll get pics posted once I get a new camera
I received TTM autographs from Bradley Cooper and Stana Katic. Stana was so cool. I sent a pretty long letter and no photos. She sent me back 2 autographed photos with a long inscription on one of them. She's awesome!
Oh and yesterday, I got TTM autographs from Jay Leno, Frances Bay, and Catherine Taber. The 8X10 I sent Catherine of her Star Wars character arrived back bent. Thank you USPS! She was really nice and sent me 2 more smaller signed pics of her, too.
I also got my 1st Listia wins today cards signed by Country Singer Holly Dunn which was the one I was after, Golfer Chris Perry, Uconn BB player Scott Burrell, former Buffalo Bills Wide Reciever Andre Reed, Buffalo Sabres captan Mike Ramsey, Former Pitts Pirates infielder Ed O' Brien , and a Index card signed by Happy Days actor Don Most Open to trades on all but the Holly Dunn and Andre Reed
I've seen Stana on Castle. I saw her in Quantum Of Solace and The Spirit. I didn't realize until when I was writing her that it was all the same woman. She has that quality where you pay attention to her. She's talented and beautiful!
Haven't been on much this week. My semester is coming to a close so I've been busy finishing up stuff for classes. The only thing that I have as far as autographs is a signed card of former WWE champion and 2010 King of the Ring, Shaemus. I had him sign an Elimination Chamber insert card that contains a piece of event used mat.
finally received something in the mail today. Received another John Travolta, same photo from broken arrow thati got before but this time it was personalized to me. the finish was different from the last also. this one was not the high gloss like the others i have seen, this was a matt finish like you get from a portrait studio. not the less still a great signing.still waiting fro my robert redford to come.
I got an autographed christmas card from magician lance burton today in the mail. This is probably the 5th year he has done this.I also went to our local library for a book signing of a scfi book signed local author nathan marchand today!
I got a couple of nice Listia auctions today. First was a 1996 Leaf Signature Series card signed by , former Red Sox, Reggie Jefferson. Secondly, I got a 1999 Upper Deck Nascar Signature Collection card of Bobby Labonte!
I'm glad that these came as it looks like the celebrities that I have been writing to have stopped signing for the winter! LOL!
Boy, it keeps getting better and better! First, an in-person Phil Niekro signing event, and now 2 more autographs in the mail. The first one today was on of Hockey Hall of Famer, Ron Franics. Ron was truly an all-time great, scoring 549 goals and registering 1,249 assists, and a 2-time Stanley Cup champion with the Penguins. The second one was of former NFL wide receiver, Jacquez Green. I played against Jacquez in high school, and he was always a classy football player, from high school to the pros. He was a member of the Florida Gators National Championship team in 1996, and was a 1997 All-American wide receiver. He played 5 seasons in the NFL, and had 162 catches for 2,311 yards and 7 touchdowns while playing for the Buccaneers, Redskins, and Lions.
I got an autograph ttm from team penske driver helio castroneves. I also got my order from elmers nostalgia of autographs of jean smart and sly stallone.
I am looking for the address of former NBA player Jerry Lucas. If someone could help me out with that, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance.
hohoho to me , i finally got some ttm's this week. i got another great John travolta, this is #2 this one is personalizzed to me, also received an autograph 8x10 and autographed auction guide from profiles in history, joe madellena from hollywood treasures, this is one of my new favorite tv shows. also i received back my jean stapelton i sent out about a month to month and a half ago. she signed my 4x6 i sent and also sent me a great 8x10 b/w of her personalized.

I got a nice lot of cards from Listia today. First I got a nice 3 card set of former Atlanta Falcon Mike Pritchard, Guy Bingham, and John Settle. Secondly was a nice 3 card lot of former New England Patriots Hart Lee Dykes,Kevin Turner, and Andre Tippet!
Hopefully ttms start rolling in by the New Year. Until then, I still git Listia!
Nice mail day to end the week. I got a Listia package and a ttm!
First, from Listia, I received 3 signed Topps Archives baseball cards.
Wally Westlake - OF Cleveland Indians Vern Benson - IF St. Louis Cardinals Dick Bokelmann - P St. Louis Cardinals
I was a little bummed because I bid on the Bokelmann not realizing that I had already won the exact same card from the same seller! I knew that there was a reason that I liked it so much! LOL! Oh well, I'll probably either re-list it or trade it.
Secondly, I got a ttm return from former Detroit Pistons player Joe Dumars. I was glad to get this one back because I sent him this great picture that I found in an ESPN magazine. They had done previews for the current NBA season and the enlisted some of Marvel Comics top artists to designe NBA themed comic book covers. The one with Joe is titled "Pistons Destination: Doom". It shows the former Detroit Bad Boy standing with Dr.Doom observing an assembly line of cyborgs wearing Pistons uniforms! This one is really appeals to me because I am such a fan-boy when it comes to anything super hero or sci-fi.
Well the other day I received a very nice letter from Ann B. Ross who is a mystery writer of the "MMiss Julia" books, she thanked me for reading her books and to be on the lookout for the necxt Miss Julia series. What a nice lady.
Today, I received an autograph from Alan Dale. The photo is Christmas card size. I thought someone had sent me a Christmas card before I opened it. The postal service smashed it up. The picture is totally trashed. I wouldn't have thought that size envelope would come that way. Mr. Dale wrote a nice note about Widmore on the back. It took over 4 months and now I have to write again.
i kn ow the feeling of disgust when it comes to the postal service, i have had several letters destroyed before they made it to the person i was writing and i have to start all over again. waste of stamps and envelopes, like i have the money to do that.gotta be something we can do/
I got a signed book plate from former first lady laura bush ttm today! A nice autograph to get after a dry period. Merry christmas to everyone! and happy new year!
I got an autograph ttm today from wwe wrestling great nikolia volkoff! I always got a laugh when he would sing the russian national anthem even though i have nothing against it. Nice present for christmas eve!
I got a nice Listia win today. It's an 8x10 B&W picture of, former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher, Greg Mathews! I also sent out some ttms today. Hopefully the ttm success will pick up in the new year!
May all my freinds have a safe and happy christmas and a joyous new year and to all the rest tthe same, i hope that you all invite me to be freinds and i will do the same. i will post more update at my site and possibly start off the new year with an autograph give away. i will post when and what. until then, continue to check out the site, and by all means , if you ar e not a member now, sign up and become a freind at the site, i have successes and other items. god bless and thanks for this year my freinds
