I was able to attend the 2nd home Pre-Season game the Pacers had vs. the Rockets at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on October 16, 2009. The game was, really, anything but spectacular. Indiana pulled out the game 119-104, but the stars saw minimal minutes to allow those trying to make the team a final push.
For the autograph chaser, the game turned out to be the perfect place to be. As the players were finishing warm-ups, some decided to sign on their way to the locker room. Rod…

Soupy Sales passed away recently.
I interviewed Soupy in New York last year, and his autographed photo to me along with a photo of him signing for me can be seen in the April 2008 issue of this magazine under my column the Sci-Fi Scene.
His helper Kathy is emailing me with possible info she may wish fans to know, so I will hopefully post more here later this week.
It was a pleasure meeting this icon of our culture, and I am happy he autographed a few great items…

I'm not a fan. In fact, I don't think I've ever turned the stove on in the condo I'm currently living in.
But she came to Costo here in Carlsbad, California, a few days ago.
She signed 1,000 copies of her book, even staying 45 minutes after her alloted time. The publisher said that's a record for the amount of books she's signed at one time.
One lady caught Stewart as she left the store, and she still signed for her. I had always wondered if people did that,…

I have heard from a few people and those who really know him and meet him to the ones that just can look and tell. Steve you have been takin for a ride. When you see someone like a Bono or the Pope or any Holy Person or Saint... You just want somthing to remind you of them. And for someone to Sale a item like this and keep on doing it. all i can say is God will have his way someday also. I dont want to judge anyone, for i'm not without sin myself. I just dont understand why people like hurtting…

This blog is gonna lack substance. Hey...it's after midnight (isn't that a song?), my back hurts from trying to play basketball with people half my age (I just turned the big 4-0), and...well...I don't always have gems, folks. So take what I give ya, and shut up already!!!
On TMZ tonight, they were showing video of Gerard Butler. They seem to get him on that show a lot, and he's always nice and playful with the parazzi -- a great sign for autograph collectors.
Today was…

So, Elvis Presley's hair pulled in around $17,000, from the barber that shaved him before the Army.
I've told this story before, but my friends mother was a barber. She cut Elvis' hair in the early 70s, and she kept some of it. When she told her friend, her friend told someone, that offered her a hundred bucks for some. So, she sold some. Then others requested hair. And she saw she could make some money, so you know what she did? She waited until she cut hair from another person that…

I'm always fascinated when old paintings by the masters, are discovered in some attic or garage sale. Partly because, I realize there's a lot of fraud, and the entire thing can be bogus. But more so because of the possibility, that it could be real.
In Toronto, there's a portrait, supposedly by Leonardo da Vinci. And there's a forensic art expert involved, because there's a finger print that might prove it really is da Vinci.
The drawing is of a young woman, and a Canadian…

So, I did the old letter and envelope routine and dropped it in the mail last Thur. SURPRISE!!! 9 days later, I get this back
A VERY nice way to start the…

Singer Leona Lewis, a chart-topper more well known in England, was assaulted at a book signing in London.
She was autograph copies of her new autobiography. Witnesses told the BBC that the attacker had waited in line, then walked up with a book. She signed it, and as she looked up he punched her.
I immediately thought of John Lennon, and how the guy that killed him got his autograph on the Double Fantasy album earlier in the afternoon.
Security grabbed the guy,…

Growing up in Ohio my first memories of college football are of watching Ohio State quarterback Art Schlichter as he lead the Buckeyes from 1978 to 1981. He was the last starting quarterback for legendary Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes, and was in the lineup when Hayes' infamous punch of Clemson linebacker Charlie Bauman in the 1978 Gator Bowl effectively ending Hayes’ coaching career. Art was an All-American with a Rose Bowl appearance, two Big Ten championships and his last three years in college…

On the east coast, some video footage showed up of Babe Ruth striking out, and looking mad about it. He then glanced at the umpire while leaning on his bat. He uttered something, but there's no sound. The legendary Lou Gehrig, who probably never had a nasty word to say to umps, awaited on deck, leaning on his bat as well.
Ruth walked away with his head down, and bat dragging through the dirt.
This footage, along with 8 seconds of never before seen stuff of Ruth playing in…

The glove that the King of Pop wore during the Victory Tour in 1984, just wrangled in almost $71,000 at the Profiles in History (or, Profiles in HIStory, if you want to stick to the Jackson theme) auction.
I would've rather had the Martin D-28 guitar that Elvis played during his final Vegas performance. Apparently, a lot of other folks would, too. That sold for $106,200.
The auction made $5 million in memorabilia sales in this auction.

I was lucky enough to join the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis on October 7, 2009 for their pre-season game against the Chicago Bulls. Although the game left much to be desired (ie: the Pacers didn't win) there were some opportunities that presented themselves for autographs.
TJ Ford, a 2003 1st round draft pick of the Milwaukee Bucks, is coming into his 2nd season with the Pacers. Last year he shared playing time with Jarrett Jack, but with Jarrett gone to the Toronto Raptors TJ…
