Good luck everyone! I paid for 3 friends to go to Tigers Fest 2010 with me to help me nail down some autos. I paid their way, and will provide dinner and beers for their help. The project I am working on is to get every Allen Ginter card signed from 2006 until they quit making them. And if that was not enough, I just started a new goal to get all UD Masterpieces signed. I figure with 4 guys getting 2 autos each approx every hour and a half, I should make a nice dent in the Tigers stuff. I also am paying a guy, as I did last season, to collect autos for me at Arizona spring training. He has a couple buddies helping him this season, so should be a great haul! I am also sending alot of stuff TTM to the Florida spring training sites. I will post what I get.

I haven't posted my success in my set for a while, just plugging along with it. But I got a nice success today:

140%20Lou%20Piniella.jpg


Took 7 days - Lou appears to have a very small window for signing and it doesn't look like he catches up on old mail, so I think I got lucky with this one.

Did you the early pass? I didn't, and it might not matter as I never have. Me and dad are doing this for what I believe is year five ( every year since 2004 except 2008) for us and I hope we have better success than last year. :( I was able to pick up a card for each of us except 5 players with no official cards issued, a couple coaches, and came up 1 short on Brad Thomas and got nothing of Jay Sborz. ::facepalm::

I got some A&G sitting here in case you miss somebody. I have some helpful hints that I've picked up if you need some advice, just drop me a PM when you get time. ;) Only 14 more days!

I probably sounded like a smart ass, and that was not my intention.
Over on SCN, those guys think that all of the Zimmers are signed by his wife.

I didn't think that was your intention. It could possibly be so, as there is some discrepancy in signatures.
