WIsportsfan19's Success Thread

[WIsportsfan19]

Good job on Correa and Buxton. I sent off TTM to Byron a few days ago. Thought about sending to Correa but he's not that great TTM.

I have heard from mulitple people that Correa sends everything back unsigned. I've had a few chances to get him IP and I have a mixed opinion on him.

The first encounter I had with him was that he signed 2 and then ran past the very small crowd with his hands up in the air. The next time I saw him he was walking very quickly and just grabbed a Sharpie and signed everything with it, even when people tried to give him pens for baseballs. He went straight to the bus and left a bunch of people hanging.

However, there were two more times when he was a great signer, but that was in the park during pregame warmups when he was with Quad Cities.

I guess it depends on the day!

I think my best chance to get Correa will be to have someone consign an item or wait for a private signing.

I would agree, based upon my experiences.

I also can tell you that he signs "CJC" in person, but I have noticed that at some private signings he has written his full signature.
