    Scored 2 nice autographs that I am very excited about. Got 2 of 2 from former Brave and current Arizona Diamondback, Martin Prado. To me, Martin is one of the best players in all of baseball. Then, I was able to obtain Amar Bose, inventor of the Bose Sound System. 2 great pick ups today!

    Got some awesome autos's these past two weeks:

  • Jeffery Kite

    Jeff, Dale Murphy is one of the classiest, humble, and extraordinarily gifted bnaseball players of all-time. One of my favorite in-person experiences ever...and I have been blessed to have 2 with him so far! The Braves are honoring him again in July, probably because of the Hall of Fame snub he received this year, his final year on the ballot. Hope the Veterans Committee comes through for him.

  • Robert Babb

    I got autos ttm  from james karen and winston groom

  • Jeff Bessinger

    Jeffrey,
    Thanks for sharing. I was and still am very excited to have his auto. It is a huge bummer and disappointment that he is not in the Hall. Like you said, hopefully the Vet. Committee comes through.
  • Robert Babb

  • Null

    Sick Ryno and he added "23".

  • Jeffery Kite

    Dang it! How does EVERYONE get Ralph Kiner except me! This is crazy! :)

  • Jeff Bessinger

    Jeffrey - I am going to say I must have had beginners luck. Your time will come. Just try again.
  • Jeff Bessinger

    Thank Ryan, I thought it was pretty cool too. Wish he would have signed in silver though, the blue is a bit hard to see with the dark background. But hey, I'm not complaining. Just super happy to get his auto.
  • Russ Robinson

    Only 2 ttms to report since Saturday. First, Guinon Buford, the first African American in space, signed my Aliens vs. Predators card on the back. This one will go on Listia. Second, former LSU center, Nacho Albergamo signed 2 of 2. Unfortunately, one got smudged.

  • Jeffery Kite

    It's not everyday that you get something in a FedEx envelope from NASA in your mailbox. The Old Professor got a very nice surprise in the mail yesterday. It was from Frank Cepollina, the inventor and innovator of in-orbit servicing of space satellites, not only autographed the index card I sent, but also included an autographed picture of the Huble Space Telescope that he has worked on! This was a really nice surprise from one of the greatest inventors of our time.

  • Russ Robinson

    I got one of one from Karl Rove today.

  • Robert Babb

    I got an autograph ttm from wwe wrestler hill billy jim. He kept my trading card but signed my note card. At least he signed something for because he usually charges 10 bucks an item to sign.

  • Jeff Bessinger

    A couple of great auto's.  First one is from Don Shula and the second is from Curtis Granderson.  When Granderson played for the Tigers he was my favorite - then he had to play for the Yanks.  Darn it.  But I have to cheer for him anyway.  

  • Russ Robinson

    Former Nascar driver, Chuck Bown, signed 5 of 5.

  • Jeff Bessinger

    Man - My LT cards came back in my SASE unsigned with no,explanation.
  • Jeffery Kite

    Russ, 2 quick comments - in case you are wondering about the authenticity of the Lawrence Taylor autos, check out the discussion I did in regards to his autograph. My TTM request of LT passed with PSA at the National Sports Collectors Convention this past year. Also, that shot of David Hebner raising The Dragons hand at WrestleMania III take me back! Remember when he and Earl had that "good twin/bad twin" story line back when Andre beat Hulk on The Main Event, even though Hulk had his shoulder up? I had just turned 10 years old 5 days before that match, and I was screaming at the TV, "No! What are you doing?! His shoulder's up! NO!" completely oblivious to the fact that professional wrestling is choreographed! I remember that like it was yesterday. Good times.

  • Jeff Bessinger

    Two great success yesterday - Jack Nicklaus & Steve Young.  I am super excited about the Young.  I was a huge fan of his during his playing days.  I am pretty sure they are both authentic but they look almost too "neat."  Yet I do not think they are autopenned.  Any opinions are welcomed & appreciated.

  • GraphingMlb

    both legit Jeff Good job!!

  • Russ Robinson

    2 TTMs yesterday. First, voice actor, Jodi Carlisle signed both of my Hulk Hogan's Rock-N-Wrestling pictures on the back, so these will be going on Listia. Second, voice actress, Hyden Walch signed my Starfire card.

  • Robert Babb

    nice russ! I got an autograph ttm from pro skater scott hamilton!

  • Russ Robinson

    I added a new GLOW girl to my collection today!

    Susie Spirit signed my poster!

    I also got 4 of 4 from Bobby Rahal and Michael Andretti!

  • Jeffery Kite

    Oh, man, Russ! GLOW was one of my favorite shows growing up. I never, NEVER, missed an episode. The only gals that come close to the wrestling skills these Gorgious Ladies had back in the day are the TNA Knockouts. The WWE Divas are just a bunch of models rolling around in the ring, now that all they've watered down that division.

  • Jeffery Kite

    The 'Ole Professor scored 2 nice ones today. First, I got the autograph of Herbert Boyer, member of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, and inventor of the modern day insulin used to treat today's diabetics. Did you all know that before Mr. Boyer's invention, doctors used insulin extracted from the pancreas of ox to treat those afflicted with diabetes. Sometimes these extracts were impure and would cause very harmful and painful allergic reactions. But with Mr. Boyer's dedication, Humulin was finally put on the market, and has no doubt saved the lives of countless diabetics.

    Then, I was graciously able to receive the autograph of the winner of the 1995 PGA Championship, Steve Elkington. Steve was neck and neck with Colin Montgomerie, and finished in a tie. He then birdied the first playoff hole to claim the tournament win.

  • Jeff Bessinger

    Thanks Tony.
  • Russ Robinson

    Today, I got my Hero cards back from, Nascar hauler driver, Kirk George unsigned with a note from Hendrick Motorsports saying that they are returning my cards because George doesn't work for them any longer. Oh well, at least they returned my cards. They could have just chucked them.

  • Jeffery Kite

    Scored 2 very nice historical figures today. The first one is Vinton Cerf, one of the creators of the internet and vice president of Google. Mr. Cerf, along with Robert Kahn, designed the computer protocols that became what we know today as the internet. He is probably the greatest computer scientist of all-time, although Bob Kahn would probably argue with that! :)

    Next I got the autograph of Harold Fritz, a 1971 recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Mr. Fritz was riding in an armored convoy on January 11, 1969, when it was ambushed. Seriously injured, Mr. Fritz leaped atop of his burning vehicle and directed the counter attack. Nearly overrun, he then manned a machine gun and led a small group in a daring charge that pushed back the remaining insurgents. Truly a remarkable story.

  • Jeff Bessinger

    Got back an awesome TTM today - Johnny Lattner Notre Dame Heisman winner from 53.  Extremely happy about this one.  

  • Robert Babb

    I got an awsome autograph ttm from henry winkler who signed my dvd cover from here comes the boom which i think is one of his best perfomances yet!

  • Russ Robinson

    Got 2 ttms today and a return to sender. The RTS was from Al Unser Jr.

    The first ttm came from Road Dogg Jesse James. The second came from  LSU coach, Steve Ensminger.

  • Jeffery Kite

    Hey Russ, never have met Road Dog, but I have met his brothers Steve and Scott Armstrong, and his daddy, Hall of Famer "Bullet" Bob Armstrong. The are some of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. And I got Steve Ensminger exactly 2 years ago this week! Signed mine in that purple Sharpie, too, which adds a nice touch in my opinion. Let me know if you want to compare yours with mine.

  • Jeffery Kite

    Add a tough, and I do mean TOUGH, TTM signer to my Braves collection yesterday, in the former of Ron Gant. Ron was a great outfielder for us back when we started that magical run of championship success. He was the third player in baseball history to record back-to-back 30/30 seasons in 1990 and 1991, a Silver Slugger Award winner in 1991, and an All-Star in 1992 for the Braves, and an All-Star again with the Reds in 1995. He is now a morning news show host here in Atlanta on Fox 5's show Good Day Atlanta. This is the first successful TTM request of Mr. Gant on the sportscollectors.net website since January 19, 2011. Very happy to have this one.

  • Robert Babb

    I got an autograph ttm from kristi yamaguchi today!
