I Cant remember all the specific dates on these so I'll just list them all under today...lol

Reggie Jackson - Gift

My Uncle sold him a car a while back and had offered to try and get me an autograph, I had pretty much given up hope on this at all when we went up to see them when he gave it to me... Wow!

Brian Urlacher

I got Brian in the mail after a wait of well over 6 months. He signed my Piece of History card along with an index. I've been wanting his autograph for a while and probably will be sending to him again before or after the season starts.

Ben Leber - In Person

The 2002 Draft Pick for the San Diego Chargers was at an in person signing and I was fortunate enough to get him to sign quite a bit of stuff. The News was there and on the 10 o'clock report about the signing they showed a nice clear cut of the card I made of his being signed, now that was nice!

Monty Beisel - In Person

Along with Mr. Leber I was able to get this current Kansas City Chief to sign some stuff as well. All the guys at the signing were former K-State Wildcats so I was really happy to get their autographs.

Mark Simoneau - In Person

Yup, you guessed it. He was also at that same signing and it was kinda cool. I got my first ever home-printed two-sided card signed by him and it turned out awesome!

I bought all the following autographs off the internet,

Jeff Suppan, Eric Chenowith, Raef LaFrentz, and Lindsey Hunter. I got Greg Hill for a dollar at the last card show.

Guess what, I also went to two other in-person signings and got the following people to sign for me.

Veryl Switzer - Former Green Bay Packer in 1954

Max Faulkenstien - KU Jayhawks Radio broadcaster

Bob Timmons - Former KU Track coach of Jim Ryun

Wes Santo - Former KU Track Star

Dave Stallworth - New York Knicks Star a while back

Cliff Levingston - Bulls star who will be in prison after the season is up

Tony Richardson!

Tony was signing in person at the local sporting goods store and I was lucky enough to meet him! He signed a bunch of cards for me and was over-all a really nice guy! I've scanned in my four favorite so enjoy! Also, Tony said he'd stop by the site later today so I gotta put in a line for him,

"Thanks Tony, you are a great guy and a super athlete, best of luck to you and the Chiefs this season, Sports Patrol will be pulling for you!"
