Cards I got signed, with storyby vrooomed - 64 cards (Last updated on Dec 22, 2017) |
An additional autograph story: In 1990, during Spring Training, I asked Juan Samuel and Mike Scioscia to each sign a baseball for me. The balls had been used for batting practice and had actually been hit out of the park. My dad and I had picked up about 20-25 balls and we were giving them out to kids so they could use them for autographs too. Got to tell Juan Samuel how much we missed him being a Phillie. I got Scioscia's autograph because he's from near Philadelphia.

19. 1986 Donruss #355 Larry Andersen
First base side stands, Veteran's Stadium, Philadelphia, pre-game, 1986. I went field-side and looked pretty big as a late-teen amongst the mostly 10-year-olds who were down there not being polite. He scolded many of them for being rude. That was never the way I was, and I very politely asked if he would sign my card (maybe 2) and thanked him, while calling him "Mr. Andersen." He was very pleasant and patient with me. Actual card |

Those are cool cards with awesome storys, I wish I had some autos | ||
This inspires me to make a list of my signed cards, but will have to be delayed as I’m still adding cards to my collection. | ||
Dan, you're the greatest! (Who am I to call Morena Corwin a liar?) | ||
David - LOL! Glad to see you looked at my list. This is one that will continue to grow and get the actual cards uploaded. It's a small part of my collection, but the fact that I have stories behind each one is what makes it so special. I honestly get the autographs for the story behind it rather than for any monetary value (else I never would have asked 75% of the players/people I have). And, heck, Morena is right. :) | ||
I went to high school (Lawrence, Kansas) with Steve Jeltz. I hope he became a nicer person as an adult. In high school he was a first class jerk. | ||
Great stories, looking forward in checking out this list in the future. | ||
AA Eastern League is where I get most of my autographs, only tried to get one Reading Phil though, and that was Preston Claiborne, see my Rejected! list to see how that turned out. | ||
Your story of the Municipal Stadium, Reading, PA, June 29 or July 12, 1985. Me & my dad would go to the Albany-Colonie Yankees games. I'd buy three of the four seats in a box for $18. Nobody ever bought the fourth seat, so we'd have the whole box to ourselves. | ||
Chuck, reason I know it's one of those 2 dates, I had actually saved my ticket stubs. These box seats were $3 each! And same, we almost always had a seat next to us empty. Hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do. I am having a blast (from the past) going through my cards. I didn't realize I had so many cards signed! (I still have more to go!) | ||
I’m realizing the same thing as I’m sorting through them. | ||
I'll have to check out Swami's shop sometime. I'm right in Mt. Laurel. Funny, I remember as a kid going to some auto dealership on 130 to see Larry Bowa and got a signed picture. |
