Autographed MJ photo 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.
Jean Beliveau and Guy Lafleur from the Montreal Canadians, Felippe Massa - when he was racing with Sauber, and one from Schumy, personally addressed to me. Also, years back, I had Alice Cooper sign my arm.
Enzo Ferrari, Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Hefner, Harrison Ford, Anthony Daiels, Mark Hammil, Kenny Baker, James Earl Jones, Carrie Fisher, Jeremy Bullock, David Prowse, Peter Mayhew, Alec Guinness, 2 page hand written letter to my by Bo Schembeckler.
Many auto's and auto'd pictures. But, for a while I was collecting game-worn hockey jerseys / equipment. I've sold a lot of it over the last few years, but have held onto some of my favorite pieces. Here are a few.....

I collect NFL and MLB jersey's and the total count run's around 90 so far. Included are: Mantle, T. Williams, W. Spahn, W. Ford, D. Dean, S. Musual, Montana, Butkus, Marino, E. Cambel, Unitus, Star, Dawson, Plunket, B. Davidson, 1972 Dolphins with 45 signatures, etc. etc.
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.
I have: Dwight Gooden (autograph) Steve Busby (autograph on baseball) Michael Jordan (autograph) Ernest Givens (autograph) Robert F. Kennedy (autograph) That's it nothing fancy. RMX
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. Image Unavailable, Please Login
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.
Joe Montana, Michael Schumacher, Phil Hill, Steve Owens, Billy Vessels, Charles Thompson, Barry Switzer, Tom Osborne, James Irwin and Ben Stein.
I'm looking for an original California Golden Seals jersey, circa 1971-2-3....... I do have a ton of t-shirts I have acquired from events I have covered, none of which have ever been worn. All are in plastic bags. EBay here I come...... if I don't, wife will give all to Goodwill after I die....
i have a brazilian flag that i get brazilian drivers to sign. i've got quite a few, but alas, not senna and a signed photo of lorenzo bandini.
I did some lighting work for Troy Aikman. As a favor he signed a football for/to my son Michael on his 13th birthday.
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.
that site is awesome! i forgot to mention i also have full sets of baseball cards buried in my closet somewhere, i know i've got a ken griffey jr card in there, barry bonds rookie, etc. when i get home i'll dig through them and see what all i have, unfortunately it's been years since i've followed the sports card market though.
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.....
bump. a couple of weeks back, i went to the cardinals winter warmup, got glenn brummer (the guy that stole home in the 82 nlcs) mike shannon, alan benes, and a few others, i will finally get pics up within the next day or two. if i decide to not be so lazy,
