Greetings from the 305

Hello SCF, my name is Raphael and I am an autograph collector from South Florida. I started collecting autographs at the age of 11 when I used to go to racing events but then I had a massive drought in autographs. it wasn't until recently that I learned about getting autographs through email and I have collected about 29 autographs since I started in late June. I mainly collect autographs from Soccer players, but I am open to get other athletes, as well as celebrities and politicians. Here is my list of notable autographs I have in my collection:

Iker Casillas (Former Real Madrid and Spain Goalie & Captain)
Oliver Kahn (Former Bayern Munich and Germany Goalie & Captain)
Bernd Schneider (Former Bayer Leverkusen and Germany Midfielder)
Jose Mourinho (Current Manchester United Coach, former Porto, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea Coach)
Raul Albiol (Current Player of SC Napoli, former Spain Defender)
Mike Eruzione (Captain of the 1980 U.S. men's hockey team that won gold)
Françoise Hollande (President of the Republic of France)

I plan to make a list of emails that have given me success and I hope to find many emails that can lead me to many autographs. Feel free to message me any time if you wanna talk about autographs or sports.

Thanks for taking time to read my intro, and I hope you have a nice day!

Awesome. Nice to see another soccer (football) collector on here. My collection is small, but it's there. Welcome to the forums!

I have an Iker Casillas Autographed RBK hat when he came to Toronto a few years back. Probably had no clue what I was saying, but still cool nevertheless ! I also collect Gigi Buffon. But as you can probably already figure out, I basically only collect hockey cards.
