Mark BrunellHadn't seen a success c/o email from him for quite a while so I was surprised to say the least! I emailed his official site and got this autographed testimony card in about 3 weeks... This is the same card most of you that sent out last year c/o Team address got... Awesome!
10/15/2002
Rick FoxRick signed for me much faster than some of the times I've seen lately. He only took three weeks to sign all four of my cards including an Italian rookie card! He signed c/o his home address in California (go figure)
Woody DurhamThe Radio Voice of the North Carolina State Tar Heels, Mr. Durham sent me a nice 8x10 signed to me in two weeks c/o email
Mike AdrasThe Head coach for the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks basketball team sent me a nice note wishing me a Happy Birthday... last month.. It took him one month to sign for me c/o email, but a friend of mine also got an autograph similar to this one in the mail today...
Tony! Tony! Tony! (ahem...) Mr. Gwynn signed for me in two months c/o San Diego State... He's the Head Baseball coach for them... Make sure you guys don't send so many that he stops signing like he did in his career... that would really stink to rob the chance for young collectors to get one of the greatest in the game... I better send again soon. I also got an autograph from Fred Rogers of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood yesterday but the only thing that would possibly make it Sports is the fact that he's listed as Celebrity Captain for the Pittsburgh Penguins...whatever.
Back to the Grind today! X-Man Signed four cards for me c/o home address in only two weeks!
Monsters Incorporated
I went to a card show today and stayed for the whole thing... It was well worth it and now I have 25 new things to show for it! (Finally the email successes are out of the latest 11 on the homepage!) This is by a long shot the most new things I've ever had to show for after a card show... Nobody was signing, It was just good fun and trading... I came out really good too!
Mr. Carroll is the head coach of the #19 USC Trojans, who are doing very well this season! He signed for me in only three weeks c/o email
Elvis was as popular a couple seasons ago as Tom Brady is now... When someone mentioned Elvis, you wondered which one... o.k. maybe I'm exaggerating his fall from stardom a little much... I just hope that doesn't happen to Brady... I sent this request a long time ago... and 19 months later "The King" came through with a signed 5x8! The pen didn't show up to great but what can I say? I sent this way back in March of last year c/o The Ravens team address...
Adrian "Little A-Train" Peterson
I was glad to get another S.A.S.E. in the mail today, this one from Chi-Town. Adrian signed all four of my cards for me in one month... this is a fun success to get! I sent to the Bears team address...
Navy's Basketball Coach sent me a Media Guide with his picture on the inside signed and personalized to wish me a Happy Birthday... He also sent along a team photo... Navy is the alma-mater of my favorite athlete of all time, David Robinson! Coach signed in only 20 days c/o email!
Update on 10/04/2002... Forgotten S.A.S.E. found in mailbox from 10-02 mail day with autograph of his inside the drenched envelope... luckily it wasn't hurt in the least... I sent to the Ram's team address, It only took one month
Iowa State has been on a Rampage lately! Beating teams at and above the level of Nebraska (though it does'nt take much to lick the Cornhuskers this season...) Dan signed for me as you would probably guess... c/o email in only 10 days!
Future Air Force QB Matt of Sports Patrol? I don't think so, but Coach DeBerry asked me to send highlights of my playing skills to a scout of his... Hilarious I think... If you want to recruit a half way decent team, find the players yourself... don't recruit the geeky sports nuts that hound you for your autograph... Thanks for the sig by the way... :) Coach signed for me c/o email in 20 days!
Head coach of the Arizona Wildcats who by the way made it to the Sweet Sixteen last year... or rather last season... Lute sent me a team picture and personalized it, even including "Happy Birthday"! Nice Success and it only took only 9 days c/o email. But I'm aching to get another non-email success.. I will be going to a card show on the sixth so maybe I can pick up something (or maybe plural) interesting to update about...
The Basketball Coach for Arizona State signed for me in only six days c/o email!

Terrell signed c/o Broncos Team addy in only 17 days! This card doesn't look nearly as cool as it does in person, Same set as the National Treasures I'd gotten signed by Jeff Blake last year.
Marcus! I hated him in the 1999 NBA Finals against my Beloved Spurs... But all he could win was game three anyhow... but he's alright now! I sent this out only 17 days ago c/o Denver Nuggets team addy... alright Camby!
I won this one about two months ago for $3.99 plus s/h and finally got it today... well its not the Skybox Metal signed card I was supposed to get but this one is awesome just the same in my opinion... It came with a serial # Certificate of Authenticy and Tim signed it in Gold Paint pen... the Spurs are my favorite team in the NBA and now I have all of my favorite Spurs autographs...
David Robinson, Tony Parker, and Tim Duncan!The big fuss about "The Leaf that turned into a Tree", well he actually in my opinion was "The Leaf that didn't turn into anything"... Not to hit on Ryan... His autograph was super hard to get and now I've got it so I'm happy... I'm surprised he stayed in the NFL so long... He signed two cards for me in 10 days c/o the Seattle Seahawks.
Awesome Mail Day! I got a total of Seven envelopes with stuff from coaches.. although only four had autographs in them it was awesome! The no autograph envelopes were as follows..
Georgia Tech sent me a Huge Poster of team stars and Chan Gailey their coach and former coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

Congrats to Paul who won this month's contest! I wasn't able to update today due to a awesome bday party and going to a concert.
I did get a awesome success though!
Shaun Alexander c/o email! This is awesome.. and it only took 10 days!How many successes will it be till I'm not suprised? Denny signed my card in about 6 months.. Yeah, I sent this one back during Spring Training. The envelope said 3 cents were due on it but It came back Return to Sender to Me... nice thing to happen to a S.A.S.E. I thought it was a failure at first. It was sure a nice surprise though.
I was suprised again! I had given up on Adam.. and he was promoted to the Majors which made my chances even worse, but they forwarded it and Adam signed it much to my suprise I got my 2000 Finest card back signed beautifully in black sharpie.. took about two months c/o the New Orleans Zephyers
