any successes from Penn St? I sent an email to Mike Mcquery. I have never dont email requests and hope that I hear back.


Thanks for your input

I have not seen email requests answered from Penn State before, but you never know till you try! Please let us know how it works out.

Will do indy. I have 3 out and will post successes when they get back to me

I'm a student at Penn State. I am not positive, but I think they have a team policy against mail auto requests. I know they're pretty strict when dealing with media/press, etc.
Like I said, I am not positive, but I think you should keep trying.

Then how are people getting autos of players? I am a much bigger fan of the Nittany lions than eagles and would love to focus on that part of my collection.


LMK if anyone has had successes.


Tonight I sent an 8x10 to the following guys (all 09 draft picks)

Jordan Norwood c/o Browns
Aaron Maybin c/o bills
Derrick Williams c/o lions
Deon Butler c/o seahawks

Im hoping for at least 2 of the 4. I sent to Dan Connor c/o panthers with no luck (over a year) and Poz c/o bills with no luck. I have gotten a preprint from Michael Robinson and never heard back from justin king c/o rams either. Im getting frustrated with football players. Baseball is much more successful.

Pete

generally, i have to agree with the last post regarding baseball players being better signers. I did get PSU coach Ed DeChellis via email, but never had any luck with their players.
Ed

Then I guess Im just wasting money in sending them. I didnt have the time to head over to post office and may just skip it!!! Like I said, Connor, Poz, King, Robinson, all nothing!!!! Robinson was the only guy that sent back PP with my photo.

Its not like these guys are the tops of their game!!! I never sent to L. Johnson cuz he is actually great! I hear that people get his "signers" auto back. I dont want that!!!


Plus the rockvale outlets were a mad house!!! If I were in line, I prob would still be there another hour or so. Supposed to show at 12, when I left at 2 NOBODY THERE YET!!!

I am personal friends with players and I get in the locker room after every game because I have season tickets and I know the coaches. I get autos and make friends with the players every year. ( this started the year LJ broke the rushing record) so I knew him personally. All the players are very nice and always sign for me

Glad to hear that you had some success with LJ! He has been rumored to use a ghost signer for his TTM requests. The only time I had seen him IP was at the combines in Indianapolis. He must have been having a rough day that day. I had just had Carson Palmer sign the football I took down there that day and spotted LJ on the other side of the street. I crossed over to get him while the other hounds were getting some other QB to sign for them. I approached LJ and asked if he had a second to please sign an autograph for me. He looked at me laughed and said " I do not sign for free!" He just kept on walking and I went after someone else. We all have bad days, but I will always remember a guy who not even signed a pro contract yet, just blowing off one single guy asking for an autograph. I had a friend who was lucky enough to end up with Air Jordan on a one and one situation in an elevator at the Circle Center Mall in Indy and he signed his three SI's for him that day. Most players are usually good one on one. Oh Well! Best of luck with your Penn State requests! Joe Pa would be one to truely treasure should you ever get him!

I am pretty sure Larry Johnson is ghost signed by his father. I live right by there and the one in the database is his parents address, Larry Johnson Sr.

thats not cool about LJ, but would really like to get some players. Not necessarily him but many others that I loved watching.

I guess I will keep looking

I added Curtis Conway to the TTMM, he was from Penn State? I thought so anyways!

ANyone else on here trying to collect Penn St. players? Just wanted to see if anyone here is a FAN???

I was wondering if anyone has seen successes from Todd Blacklidge? I know that he works for ESPN and would really like to get his auto.

FEEDBACK???

Not tested Blackledge addy.....lives about 15-20 minute from my house. I am 100% sure this is his addy though. Good IP signer...

TODD A BLACKLEDGE (http://www.zabasearch.com/maps/index.php?sname1=TODD BLACKLEDGE&sname=TODD A BLACKLEDGE&first=TODD&last=BLACKLEDGE&middle=A&state=OH&address=2711 GLENMONT DR NW&city=CANTON&zipcode=44708&&cm=10&cy=2004&phone=&int_var=3) 2711 GLENMONT DR NW

IP may be somewhat of a tough one for me, living in eastern PA and he in Columbus!


Speaking of Columbus... Looks like USC has the upper hand on Big Ten again this year! Hopefully, Penn St. can make some big strides with the new passing attack this year, 3 nfl draftees lost last year is a big one to overcome!

Pete

They'll be OK this year- Michigan is starting to look tougher though with that freshman QB...won't be an easy game in their place.

larry isn't ghost signed by his father...at least i seriously doubt it...he returns to state college often and it doesn't surprise me he gets mail sent to his parents house...i know larry & his brother tony from high school, so they sent me autographs for my son for nothing, but i always thought larry was a good signer.

if you want PSU autos, a good way to get them is blue-white game. my son gets most of the stars every year. he got darryl clark & AJ Wallace this past game, and last year he cleaned up with deon butler, derrick williams, aaron maybin, jay alford (visiting from the giants) and a ton of other guys.

another good spot is during games outside the luxury box entrance near the student entrance...my grandfather works there, so i usually don't get shoo'd...but even if you do, just hang around by the sidewalk or in the grass and you can usually get anybody who's going to the game. My son got Ki-Jana Carter, Shane Conlan, Curt Warner & Franco Harris hanging out there

as far as mike mcqueery, why would anybody want his auto? lol...i ran into him one night while carousing the local bars. he's married to a girl who was in my grade (8 years younger than him) and i was pis drunk and asked him for his autograph...he replied "are you serious?"....and i was like "no dood" and kept walking....haha...total ******* thing to do, but my friend and i laughed it up for a couple blocks until we got to the next bar

good story about mcquery. WHat an a hole! Cant believe that he was a douche!

anyway, guess I will cross that one off.

Pete

My dad talks to him alot for recruiting and he has always been really nice to us....

Well, guess each person has their own opinion. Never having met him, or having anything signed... Im neutral.

May try very soon, as I got a nice photo of him. May try the 5x7 first, then an 8x10.

Pete

Found out by doing a little research that Zack Mills and Anthony Morelli are coaching high school football teams. I sent an email to both and hope to hear back soon. I am on a quest to get former PSU qb's. If anyone is interested in their addys, please PM me and I will send.

I already have Morelli on a mini helmet along with Levi Brown while at AZ cardinals camp but may try for a nice photo.

that is all for now
