About me and my items:
We're all concerned about autograph authenticity so let me tell
you a bit about me. I started collecting
memorabilia and autographs around 1983 by TTMing (sending autograph requests
Through The Mail) and attending card shows in the suburban Philadelphia
area. I had the great honor to meet
dozens of former great players like Judy Johnson, Ernie Banks, Stan Musial,
Steve Carlton, Mike Schmidt, Robin Roberts, Juan Samuel (my favorite player), Pete Rose, and
many more. My main autograph targets
were Hall of Fame baseball players and players who debuted after 1950, using
Jack Smalling's "Baseball Address Guide." I actively added to my collection until 1991
when I went to college and took several years off. In 1996 a friend gave me an autographed Rocky
Bleier photo re-sparking my interest in the hobby. Since then I’ve been collecting mainly
Pittsburgh Steelers memorabilia. Now that
retirement age is approaching quickly, I decided it’s time to let go of the
collection I’ve worked on for the last 35+ years. As a reference, since November 2005 I have
been an active member of the SportsCollectorsNet community and I’m an
off-and-on member of the Pro Football Researchers Association (when I remember
to pay my annual fees). **Every item I
have for sale is absolutely guaranteed to be authentic and I will refund your
money within 14 days if you are not satisfied with your item. Simply return it in the same condition in
which you received it and I will immediately process your refund.**
Yes, I will combine shipping when possible. For large items, it is not always possible to
combine but I will do my best to lower you shipping costs when possible.
