[chrisborene]

Man it’s been a bit since I’ve had anything to post but here is my first post for the 2023 collecting season

i went to dodgers fan fest on Saturday February 4th, and here is what I ended up getting

for a $30 donation I got max muncy to sign a 2020 foco World Series bobblehead

also for a $30 donation I got autographs 2 each ( I was sneaky) from dodger youngsters André Jackson and Justin bruihl

not sure of my next venture, but for sure I’ll be going to some stuff around WrestleMania 39 weekend, but I’m sure I’ll go to something before then

my wrestlemania 39 week recap !!!!!!



Man wrestlemania week is finally done for me!!! And it wore me out, but it was very fun!!!Thursday I got to meet Rey mysterio again, which was cool but waiting in a line for hrs stunk !!Friday I went to wrestlecon in downtown LA and got to meet former wwf/WWE champs, Bret the hitman hart and Goldberg, a couple of side stories , I asked Bret what his favorite mlb team was and he said the San Francisco giants ( booooooo!!!) , but then he said his wife’s favorite team was the dodgers and they sometimes argue during the games when they play,(hahaha!!)Also when I met Goldberg ( he has real time beef with the hitman) he told me he wasn’t going to take a pic with me wearing a Bret hart shirt unless I turned it inside out , I apologized and he said don’t worry about it, I just don’t like him he is a piece of ��)Was suppose to meet the bushwhackers this day as well but apparently bushwhacker butch had a medical emergency and cancelled appearances all weekend, so I have to go about getting a refund for that, hope he ends up being alright!!Just found out earlier yesterday bushwhacker butch passed away from his medical problems he had over this past weekend ������From wrestlecon, I went to the LA convention center to the WWE superstore for some shopping and to meet WWE superstar bayley, the lines to get in the building was almost 1/2 hr when I arrived, so I was worried I was going to miss the whole signing, but once I got in and to the fiterman sports signing ( about 1/2 hr after it started ) I got right into the pro photo op line and there were only a few people in it and took less than 5 minutes then just moved in the other line to get my auto which started pretty quickly after the photo op and was only in there maybe less than 20 minutes, once done there I did some wrestlemania shopping and got a few goodies!!Then watched wrestlemania Saturday from homeThe went live to wrestlemania on Sunday which was a lot of fun , I had a great time with my wife and sister in law who were brave enough to go with this big fan !!! Took tons of pictures and ate tons of mediocre food, nothing was really great to eat inside sofi stadium and parking sucked getting out of there , must have took 45+ minutes!!It was an experience , but I’m tired and will just rest and watch the raw after wrestlemania from the comfort of my home!!
















next autograph venture should be to my first Rancho Cucamonga quakes game sometime between thurs-sat when their season opens up

My start to the minor league season and autographing my favorite team ( Rancho Cucamonga quakes) started last night on their opening night, overall a good start to see how the quakes are signing this season, and here are my results.

nick biddison signed 3 cards
rayne doncon signed 3 cards
peter hey beck signed 3 cards
batting coach/former mlb catcher ronny paulino signed 3 cards
all guys signed before the game and probably would have signed more
after the game I got starting pitcher and ‘21 1st round draft pick maddux bruns signed his usual 1 per.
Also added a few pics from before yesterdays game
probably will go to another game in around 2 weeks, so until then………

Quick recap, I went to another 11am quakes game, this time vs Visalia oaks, didn’t have too much action as I’m running out of cards, and the promotion of maddux bruns didn’t help out my numbers. But I got :

3 more cards from Rayne doncon and 2 more cards from Nick bidinson

next game won’t be a quakes game for a few weeks from now, but I am going to a paid signing for a pro wrestler I’ll post about on the weekend

[chrisborene]

Today I went to comic con revolution in Ontario, California, with the sole purpose of meeting Mercedes varnado (aka Mercedes mone, fka Sasha banks) I needed her to sign my Sasha banks funko , so I paid to get that signed and also took a pro photo op with Mercedes as well she was very nice and polite and person and no 6 ft apart photos like in the past







Sorry for the bid sizing of these photos


next event will probably be another Rancho Cucamonga quakes game within the next 2 weeks
