[GoWarrior]

Summertime's been busy so I haven't been posting but here's what's trickled into the mailbox over the past handful of weeks...

Ben Zobrist 3/2
Signed both cards I sent plus included a card of his own (the personalized one)







Joe Nathan 1/2



Jeremy Guthrie 1/1



Jose Valentin 2/2





Will Clark 1/2
The Thrill kept my other card of him on the Rangers. Happy to get him though, and have always loved this card of him and McGwire clowning around.

And a couple of non-sports returns...

Eugene Kranz 2/2 8x10s
NASA flight director during Gemini and Apollo programs, best known for being flight director on Apollo 13 and getting the guys back safely. (1st photo is him smoking a cigar after the safe return of Apollo 13)





James Earl Jones 1/0
Sent a LOR to the legendary actor. He sent me a 5x7 singed nicely in blue.

A few more coming in...

Buck Showalter
I'm an O's fan so I had to send to the skipper. 2/2 8x10





Fats Domino
One of the most important pop musicians of the 20th century. 2/2 8x10s





Jocelyn Lemieux
For my Whalers collection. 1/1

One TTM and one IP. First, the TTM...

SLASH
Used his own silver and this came out amazing. Legendary guitarist of Guns N Roses signed 1/2 8x10s


Got this one IP...
Ted DiBiase
The Million Dollar Man! Hall of Fame pro wrestler from the 80s and 90s. Couldn't have been a cooler guy to talk to.

This one is IP... Went to a huge card show this weekend. Tons of legends there (Pete Rose, Rod Carew, Bruce Sutter, Maury Wills, many more) but I only had the time (and money) to focus on one of my favorite players ever. Yes, he may have his personal issues but there's no denying his greatness on the field.

Lawrence Taylor
Had him sign a 16x20 and inscribe it with "Sir Lawrence of the Meadowlands" which, besides being a really cool title, is what Tony Soprano called him when LT made a cameo on an episode of The Sopranos. He was writing his number and NYG on everyone's items even if you didn't pay for an inscription. He took his time talking to you about where and how you wanted your item signed to make sure it looked beautiful... real considerate guy.

Found this custom double-matted frame at the card show with a NY Giants medallion in it, bought it, and had it framed on-site. I think the result is one of the nicest things I own, especially being a Giants fan. Also had JSA (they were on-site authenticating items) slap a sticker on it with a matching COA just for good measure.
