My 3 Top Autographs (well, some of my faves I already have pictures of on my computer)

Wow, that's a long title. Hey guys, Drew back here, showing 3 already taken pictures of 3 of my favorite on card autographs, and some other random ones I may show at the end. Enjoy!

OK, number 3 is.....


2008 Topps Allen & Ginter Jeff King TTM Auto
Well, before I explain why this means so much to me, I must say that Jeff King is one of the best Iditarod racers of all time (sorry Kanye)! He's won a few, and I got to follow his stats last year in English class. So, my second TTM ever (Brad Smith of the Jets 1st, still waiting for that) went out to Mr. King, and he sent back this and an autographed index card, which I cut up around it and put it in a frame (yeah, it did look nice), and gave it to my English teacher. So, my 1st TTM return has to be up there.

Number 2 goes to.....


1994 Nabisco All Stars Bob Gibson Auto
Well, you guys just saw it that I got a few days ago, but how can somebody as good as Bob Gibson NOT get in this top 3? Seriously. Nice auto, cool picture (even without logos, study this Upper Deck), and an amazing pitcher to finish.

And number 1.....


2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Ryan Zimmerman Autograph #ed/10!!!
This is an amazing card, one of my favorites, he's an all star 3rd baseman (one I'd like to see in pinstripes), and he has a sweet sig (get it?). Only limited to 10 copies makes this card the coolest!

Some other possible nominees are....


2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Signatures Brian Bruney Auto /99
Yeah, still got a man crush on him, don't laugh, he's the man!


2007 Upper Deck Masterpieces Jason Bay Auto
Yeah I hate him, and actually, yeah, this is for trade, but it is an awesome card, plus a nice autograph. It is a "Stroke of Genius" indeed.


2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Adam Lind RC Auto
Love the helmet, and another sweet signature!


2008 Donruss Gridiron Gear Dexter Jackson Pull Out Auto
Very unique card to finish it out. You pull the side piece and the piece of jersey with the auto drags out. Nothing special about Jackson but the card is cool.

Thanks Dinged Corners for the great idea, and I hoped you guys enjoyed it! See Ya!

TTM Return! My 1st!

Hey guys, Drew back here. I had an awesome day yesterday, getting my report card back with a 98.143 Overall Average, making Principles List, and my team won as I was 2-3 with a walk, strikeout, triple, and single! I also got the TTM back from Jeff King, and I was impressed. He signed both the index card and the Allen & Ginter 08 card, and gave me 2 special Cabelas Cards of him too! He lives in Alaska, and I live all the way across the country, and it took him 12 days to sign and return! Jeff King, you are awesome!

if you don't know who he is check this out


2 Extra Cabelas cards he threw in (unsigned)

1 Index Card (for my English teacher)

1 Allen & Ginter Autographed Card (for me!)

So thanks for looking guys, and by the way, I got the boxes in today, and Joemama and I will break the 2007 Bowmans Best box tonight. The next TTM I will send out will be to Mike Mussina, and it would be sick if he signs them. See Ya!

New TTM Idea!

So, as you may know, I'm a big fan of mr. motown philly (squeepa 21) on youtube. I really like the fact that he does ttm requests often, and one time I tried one. I sent it to Brad Smith, wide receiver on the Jets, and I don't think I'm getting it back. So I have a new request. Jeff King. 4 Time Iditarod champion, and a legend with the dogs. In school we did an Iditarod race project, following their positions, dogs healths, and weather/trail conditions for a single musher that we picked, and I picked Jeff King. I went home one day, thinking where I have heard that name before, because I don't follow the Iditarod much. I started flipping through my Allen & Ginter set and came across this card:

Yes, it's Jeff King, and I'm sending this out to Mr. King so he can sign it, along with an index card for his signature that I might give to my English teacher, because I'm sure he will really like it. Thanks for looking guys, and see ya!
