1994 Pro Mags Football Forum

Has anyone ever seen a 1994 Pro Mags Autograph in the "wild"?  I have been searching for years and have found none.  I know that Chris Martin Enterprises folded in 1994 and I am wondering if he even got the players to autograph these.

Thanks !!!

No never. I bought a lot of those and never saw one. Packaging does not mention any autographs.  I always understood that the only possible autographed mag was Chris Martin; his own mag.

Thanks for that information.  Can we get this set deleted until someone actually finds some and wants to contribute them?

Did you find any autographs from 1992 or 1993 from his products?

Thanks.

Found this listing but I'm ussure if this was an actual insert from the set or autoed after the fact.  Might want to ask C2Cigars he added the checklist.

Pretty sure it's an aftermarket since it comes with JSA COA.

I'm sure I added the set/checklist at another member's request.  Five members have a total of nine AU mags in their Collections.  Might want to ask them if they actually pulled them from a pack.  Or bought them somewhere.

Two of the collector's wrote back to me.  One person accidentally added it and has since removed it from his collection.  The other collector just clicked them all as have, but doesn't have them (I didn't ask why, presumably so they stop showing up as needed).  So far, nobody actually has these.  This was the same time that Chris Martin Enterprises was going under.

This may not really help, but I do have a few autographed items which I received directly from Chris Martin because I was buying product directly from the company.  I don't remember them being any different than the regular issue items.  Unfortunately, I wouldn't know where to find them in my stuff to confirm.  I want to say I have autographs from Chris Martin, Jerome Bettis, a KC Chief player, Frank Thomas and Joe Carter, plus one hockey player. 

Chris Martin Enterprises was still producing Pro Mags in 1996 (for the NBA anyway).

It does help to know that a few autos are in the wild.  However, it does not appear that they were ever put into packs.  And after searching for years, I have only seen Chris Martin, Willie Davis (Chiefs) is on eBay (and hand numbered so probably from the company, not aftermarket), and I think I saw Bettis at one time.  Otherwise, I question that an entire parallel set was made.
