My 1st post of 2019!

Tony Dungy (12/10): Nice one! Added “SB XLI Champs” and “Matt 16:26”. Unfortunately, it did get really damaged in the top loader.

Tom Mack (12/15): My 1st (and only) *ichigan success. I’m a Ohio State fan, but he’s actually pretty cool. Also included a HOF Card too! The 2nd player to put a team inscription because he put “LA Rams”.

Peyton Manning (12/17): WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Possibly the biggest name I’ve gotten back!!! I’m amazed he even signed it for FREE!!

Sterling Sharpe (12/20): Nice! Been trying to get his autograph for a while, and I finally got it!

Tom Matte (12/20): O-H-I-O!!! Now I have both of the SBIII runningbacks! Also put “Colts” and “41” (jersey #) on both cards, despite one of them has him on the Chargers. Also answered my questions. I later found out that he was the QB in the 1965 NFL Championship when Johnny Unitas got injured. That means he played against the Lombardi Packers! Had I known that when I sent that one out, I would have asked him what it was like!

Ronnie Lott (12/22): RONNIE LOTT SENT ME A 8x10!!!! WHAT?!?! Didn’t expect that to happen!!!

Charley Trippi (12/24): WOO!! My new oldest card I’ve gotten signed (1955 Bowman)! Also glad because I got a early Christmas present!

Len Dawson (12/26): FINALLY!! After 4 tries, I finally got Len Dawson to sign! super clean autograph, and I plan on getting it authenticated soon!

Gino Cappeletti (12/29): This dude is awesome! He is exactly 70 years older than me! I was born 3/26/2004, and he was born 3/26/1934!! I’ll definitely make sure I send him a birthday card when my, er, our birthday rolls around!

James Laurinaitis (12/31): Nice! His fanmaik address is literally a 20 minute drive from where I live, so that’s hilarious! He said the best part of playing for Ohio State was beating *ichigan 4 years in a row!!

Roman Gabriel (12/31): Wow! Awesome guy! He inscribed my card with “18”, “To Ian, My Best”, and even answered my questions! He might have even predicted that the Rams would go to the Super Bowl!

Juju Smith-Schuster (11/4): Dorkwad Steelers sent me a FAKE autograph!!! It’s a PRINTED AUTOGRAPH!!!

Gilbert Brown & LeRoy Butler (1/5): DOUBLE PACKERS DAY!!! Great first REAL AUTOGRAPH return of 2019!! The best part is that I bough a autographed Gilbert Brown Card earlier that day! They both included Jersey # inscriptions (93 for Brown, and 36 for Butler). LeRoy Butler didn’t answer my question though, so me and my dad will have to remain clueless on wether it’s “La-ROY” or “LEE-Roy”.

Andy Russell (1/7): Great dude! He signed my ‘68 Topps, and even wrote me back a letter that he signed twice! Nice!

Manny Fernandez (1/7): My dad (who is a Dolphins fan) completely lost his mind over this one, because Fernandez put “17-0” on his autograph.

Steve Owens (1/8): First Heisman Winner I’ve gotten since Roger Staubach!! Inscribed “‘71 All Pro”, which wasn’t even on his wiki page. I got to add something to Wikipedia!

Mike Wagner (1/9): My friends are telling me that I need to become a Steelers fan now. That’s great. I’m supervised that he didn’t sign it very big.

Boyd Dowler (1/11): Nice! He signed my ‘65 Philadelphia, and even sent me a index card that he personalized and put “#86” on! Now I have 2 index cards signed by him!


Eli Manning (1/14): WOO!! My 2nd Active player! Now I just need Archie to get the trifecta!

Bobby Bell (1/14): Finally! I must’ve messed up the return envelope for the 1st letter that I sent to him. I sent that one in September to the Shagbark St. address and I never heard back. So I sent a second one, and he signed!

E.J. Holub (1/14): Nice! I was hoping that this would be a good omen for the Chiefs in the AFC Championship, but oh well, now I have to watch Brady in ANOTHER super bowl >:(

George Seifert (1/17): I’m surprised that he signed all 3! I thought I might be lucky for him to sign 2/3!! He didn’t write down his favorite play on my index card though :( Oh well, I guess I’ll try that with Dick Vermeil.

Dave Wilcox (1/18): Very happy with how this turned out! He signed the card for me, and the index card for my uncle (who is a HUGE 49ers fan)! He even put “49ers” on the index card! 3rd player to put a team inscription, and the 2nd 49ers guy to do that!

Phil Niekro (1/18): WOOOOOO!!!!! My 1st Baseball success!! He made it oddly specific though. He put “To [my age] yr. old Ian [my full name],”. He even dated it, which I heard he doesn’t normally do. Huh.

Raymond Chester (1/22): Nice! My 1st Raiders success in a long while! Put “87” on both cards!

That’s all for now, hope you had a Merry Christmas / Hanukkah / Kwanza (even though it’s a month after).
