dwighthoward12 success thread

[dwighthoward12]

For those of you who follow my thread they know that super bowl week was something I couldn't pass up. Ill start off by saying as high as my expectations were, I am more then pleased with how I did. I only attended two days, Wednesday and Friday. I will begin on Wednesday. Got there pretty early just to walk around the area. Now let me say this whoever decided to put super bowl boulevard outside needs to have their head examined. As much time as I had planned on putting in, I had to cut it short due to the temperature. I was numb walking around the streets of New York. So lets get to the successes. Began by walking around and saw Plax. I have dealt with him and knew not to get my hopes up and on cue denied. Next saw Shaun Ohara walking around and got a pic with. Next saw Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks, got them on white sheets and pics with. Saw Tiki barber and got him on a white sheet. Finally made my way to the autograph stage to get on line for Derrick Brooks, my main target of the day. Was able to get him on a full size football. After that I was too cold so I decided not to stick around any longer. Not a bad day, getting a now Hall of Famer on a football. Friday my luck began to change. I still was freezing even though I dressed much warmer. My day began by getting Nick Mangold on a white sheet. Of course my luck I see a Jet someone who I have gotten over 20 times. Next up Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs. Great guy spoke to him for a little Next, actor Kevin Costner on a white sheet. Finally Brian Hoyer on a white sheet. Saw Chris Tucker, Jennifer Garner, Jamie Foxx but was denied by all three one on one. Also was denied 2 on 1 by Jamal Lewis and Donovan Mcnabb. Now ill get to my two big misses. First Jerome Bettis 2 on 1 denied tried talking him into it looked like he was about to cave but no go. Next Barry Sanders. My football was the next one he was about to take had his security guard not pulled him away. Now the biggest success of my graphing life so far. If you have read my thread you know all the greats I have gotten including Albert Pujols, Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, Arod(Former great) etc. but none come close to this one. A car pull up in front of me and out walks Joe Montana. It is 2 on 1, just me and my brother. His handler is right next to him and yells at me HE IS NOT SIGNING HE IS VERY BUSY GET AWAY. So i politely walk away. About an hour or so later he walks out. Same woman yells he is not signing he is in a rush. I say "Mr. Montana we have been waiting around in the cold for you, it would mean the world to us if you would sign." No joke, he pushes the woman out of the way grabs my silver and throws an incredible flawless graph on a football for me and my brother. I say thank you for making our day and he says no problem my pleasure. Such a genuine, nice guy if not for his stupid handler. With that I decided to go home and warm up. Heres a pic of the Montana Ball. Still in shock I was able to get arguably the greatest QB in NFL history.

Busy couple of days. Was able to get a muhammad wilkerson authentic jersey signed. But the big one, got word Tony Parker was doing a free appearance in the city. Was poorly advertised and maybe only about 15 people max were there. Was able to get 3 out of him one with 07 finals mvp inscription, 2 floorboards and 1 8x10. Wish I had more stuff but since there were so few people he started recognizing people coming for multiples. Got a couple of pics with him and he was really nice, and was a really great run signing.
1/1 Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey
3/3 Tony Parker 2 floorboards 1 8x10
The floorboard without inscription is for sale. Let me know if you are interested.
