CyberErik's Success Thread- just starting out, feedback and help welcome!

Empty mail day today. Graphing the Rangers tonight (not going to the game though).

That sucks, mets! How did the pen break?! Who was the auto? You seem to share my pain about ry how as well. You know with this hobby you take the good with the bad, and I did get Ubaldo, so it's all good I guess.

On another note, I finally finished framing my ticket signed by Bautista and Arrencibia from Spring Training in Person- I found a photo of them standing together. Here is the final product:

Beautiful. I'd love to get a sig of Arencibia, the Jays don't come to Citi Field much!

Yeah, definitely stings. It was hat night LOL when I took the picture I knew someone would catch on to that, because it's a distinctive throwback hat.

I too have a Lee that I bought on ebay it was a Topps I believe certified issue that I got on ebay for 11 bucks when the Phils first traded for him.

Still, it's totally different to get someone in person as I'm sure you know.

Definitely agree with you about the in person experience; way cooler, but what more can you do?

As for the hats, I hate when people do stuff like that! Kind of a pet peeve of mine...like when I was going to Cavs games, people having the visiting team sign Cleveland giveaway stuff. I don't get it...

Graphed the Rangers tonight. I will probably go back, as tonight was pretty tough going- no one signed by the bus. Police escort though, it was pretty crazy.

Got a few successes- Mitch Moreland and Ron Washington signed as they got into cabs on this 8x10 logo.



Ian Kinsler also signed getting into a cab- now I need to get hamilton to sign the other side!



As an update, I have been told by my people that Cliff Lee won't sign the Sports illustrated cover for some reason. I don't know if it's true or not but it would certainly shed some light on yesterday.

Got one in the mail today, couldn't be happier. I sent this to BYU right after they got eliminated from the Tourny, figuring that Jimmer would still be in the facility. Shortly thereafter he stopped attending classes so I thought it was a lost cause. I got it today after nearly 3 months turnaround time. WOOOO!!!!!! Jimmer Fredette 1/1

You get mail on Sundays?

[cyberer]

LOL sorry, this came into my parents house and they just told me today so I assumed it came in. I guess it must have came in yesterday.

My bad, just curious.

Great success today. I was really hoping to get this one back:

Jamie Moyer 3/3 C/o ESPN- My brother and I got a photo with him 2 years ago, so I sent him 2 copies and a card- he signed all 3. I'll obviously be giving the extra to my brother.

22 days turnaround.




Also, visited a local card shop and picked up a few uncertified autos on the cheap.

Former and current Phillies Jon Lieber, Aaron Rowand, Ryan Madson:







And, finally, one from my childhood- Mo Vaughn, complete with the ticket to the card show where it was signed. Not quite a COA but close enough for me I guess:



I don't usually buy autos, least of all uncertified ones, but for a few bucks I didn't have lieber in my Phils collection and could use dupes of the other 2 so I pulled the trigger. Couldn't be happier with the moyer.

Nice adds love the Mo auto.

Are you ever up near Burlington County? The Iggles are up there and I want to see how these lockout "workouts" are for graphing...
