    Autographed Penny Hardaway black Orlando Magic game issued (though not worn) jersey. Game issued meaning it was made available for the game. The jersey is long as hell, lol. It's like a dress for women.

    If anyone has or knows of a white Orlando Magic Shaq game issued jersey autographed, I want to buy it! :)

    Of all the major figures I have been around, and photographed, the only autograph I bothered to ask for was Nelson Piquet's in about 1983.

    I've sat and talked with a ton of folks, but just didn't think asking for an autograph after the conversation, and I have talked to just about
    every figure there was in the 80's.
    Miltonion named Donohue - never thought to ask him, but he gave me rides home from the racetrack circa 1971-72.
    Donohue and Gurney would be at the top of my list.

    just out of curiosity, who are you missing on the dolphins jersey? that'd definitely be a collectors piece, and worth quite a good chunk of change. personally, i feel an autograph has no meaning unless you get it signed yourself, however, i've been looking for some mantle/dimaggio/other old time ballplayers autographs, which obviously i'll have to buy in a lot of cases. the one thing that i've been seriously shopping for is an autographed 1980 us olympic hockey team item, i just haven't found the right thing for the right price yet.

    That's it nothing fancy.

    I had started collecting F1 Champion sigs, but I've unloaded some over the years. Still have my signed Enzo letter, a signed Michael Jordan jersey, a DiMaggio litho signed as well as one of those Havana GP repros signed by Fangio. '96 Monaco GP poster signed by Schumi, Hill, Villeneuve, Hakkinen.

    1) I will pass this word of advise along that someone told me when I first wanted to collect sports memorabillia. "Do not waste time with the pieces that are not classics." By that he ment buy pieces of Ruth, Mantle, DiMaggio, etc. He told me 7 years ago to buy signed Ruth baseballs; I did not listen. Then they were going for about $4K-5K; today they are in the $20-$50K range. He said those individuals will always be in demand. Five years ago, I bought a UDA Mantle jersey, LE low number; paid $3K for it and I thought that was alot of change then. Today I saw one that is going for $15.5K with a higher humber of the LE edition; should have bought a couple back then.
    2) I will pull out the Dolphin jersey and see who is missing. It is also a LE and if I remember right 250 were prodeuced and signed by the surviving team members at Shula's Steak House to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the perfect 17-0 season. Shortly after the signing, a couple of members passed and so the numbers of team members has decreased. Not to be selfish, but that is why every year I root for no undefeated teams in the NFL so this will only increase in value. Authenticated by Mounted Memories.
    3) If you get personally get a signature, take a photo or photo's of the athlete signing to validate it; then send it to PSA/DNA in Newport Beach to verify. Of course the more expensive and best way is to have buy one authenticated by some of the reputable firms around.

    Check out www.gameworn.net/cgi-bin/GW/ultimatebb.cgi. If you are going to find a Seals jersey, this is the place to look. Good luck.

    Wow, great stuff there. I've got an old 'generic' Bruins jersey with autographs from Bourque, Park, Moog, O'Rielly, Miller, Millbury, Cheever, Hodge and others. I played with some of their sons back in the 70's and early 80's, and a few went to my HS. Gotta love those 'Big Bad Bruins' from back in the day. Brad Park owned a Pizza place in my town and would be there every now and then tossing dough and signing pizza boxes.....
