Nice stuff, thought about going, but figured it wouldn't be worth it based on the guys advertised.

Thanks. I didn't really have high hopes on the players that were advertised (except Fister, who I really needed) so I didn't bring ROMLBs like last year. Huge mistake as a buddy of mine was able to get a ROMLB signed on the sweet spot and a 2012 World Series ROMLB signed under the World Series logo by Miggy. Dealers also got him on 8 x 10 photos and full-sized bats.

Attended the 4th Annual Detroit Lions' charity softball game, now known as Team Burleson vs. Team Tulloch charity softball game, benefiting their respected charities held at King Boring Field in Dearborn, MI today. Got the following players to sign, who participated in the game:

wide receiver Kris Durham - 1/1 trading card

wide receiver Nate Burleson - 1/1 8 x 10 Lions logo photo already signed by some players from last season

St. Louis Rams' cornerback Cortland Finnegan - 1/1 trading card, plus photo with

defensive end Jason Jones - 1/1 trading card, plus photo with

defensive end Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah - 1/1 speed mini-helmet, plus photo with

cornerback Bill Bentley - 1/1 trading card

center Dominic Riaola - 1/1 8 x 10 Lions logo photo already signed by some players from last season


Didn't need wide receiver Patrick Edwards, linebacker Cory Greenwood, defensive tackle Ogemdi Nwagbuo, defensive tackle Jimmy Saddler-Mcqueen, safety Glover Quin, defensive end Willie Young, linebacker Tahir Whitehead, linebacker Ashlee Palmer, linebacker Stephen Tulloch, offensive tackle Jason Fox, and Lions' alumnus Lomas Brown. Former NBA players James Edwards, Rick Mahorn, and Jimmy King also showed up to lend their support to the game, but I didn't have anything for neither to sign. Louis Delmas, Nick Fairley, Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and New England Patriots' linebacker Brandon Spikes were also scheduled to participate, but they no-showed. It was probably a good thing that Stafford and Megatron didn't showed up too, as Team Burleson's dugout would have been swamped with dealers. This year was much enjoyable with a cooler and cloudy temperature, so it wasn't as hot as last year and I got an opportunity to actually enjoy the softball game as soon as I finished up graphing. Can't wait for next year's softball game.

UFC fighter as well as Michigan resident, Daron "Detroit Superstar" Cruickshank hosted a party at a club on Saturday night. He was really cool throughout the night and we talked it up about MMA and the UFC. Got Daron to sign my 8 x 10 photo along with the inscription of "Detroit Superstar" on it.

Rap group Public Enemy's hype man/tv personality Flavor Flav and rapper/actor Ice Cube made an appearance to meet and greet with fans at Flavor Flav's Chicken & Ribs restaurant in Sterling Heights, MI today before their "Kings of the Mic" show at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston. Got Ice Cube to sign an index card, since I wasn't prepared for him, and Flavor Flav to sign my 8 x 10 photo. LL Cool J, De La Soul, and the rest of Public Enemy were also announced to stop by, but didn't.

Graphed some of the personnel of 'Transformers 4' at their hotel. Got the following to sign for me:


actor Mark Wahlberg - 1/1 8 x 10 photo (ran with his own black Sharpie and signed on the darkest part of my photo too; he got swarmed as he headed back to the hotel after eating at a restaurant nearby since there were crowds of teeny boppers there too waiting for what they thought were boy band, "One Direction", to arrive)

actress Nicola Peltz - 1/1 index card plus a photo with

director Michael Bay - 1/1 Transformers DVD insert sleeve plus a photo with


Going to be working on this film as an extra at the end of this month and the first week of August, so it should be another fun experience.

Nice Wahlberg , he's been pretty good about signing (although his driver can be a tool),

So there are really a bunch of girls down there still? lol. Those of us there for the Sox yesterday told them they aren't there, and weren't there last year either. I guess they didn't believe us.

Graphed rapper Kendrick Lamar after his show at the Fillmore theater in downtown Detroit tonight. He made his way out within 20 minutes of his show ending and signed plus took photos with for the small crowd that was waiting for him. Got Kendrick to sign my CD cover.

Awesome Kendrick Lamar success!!!

Nice Kendrick! He's one of the few mainstream rap artists and artists in general, I like. Very odd signature though. Haha This thread sure never disappoints though.

Thanks! K-Dot is one of my favorite rappers in the game today.
