My 2009 MLB/MILB Autographing Season.. LOTS of Scans

[goblue6919]

Well as some of you may know during the offseason I tend to focus on cards and during the milb season I focus more on autographing. Last year I was lucky to go to around 20 different games. I also went to a couple of hotels in the city where MLB teams were staying. Going to these games I was able to scout a lot of top prospects, talk to players and scouts and meet some pretty “Interesting people” while autographing. Some of the stories I have are unbelievable but I don’t even know where to start. Anyways, I got around to scanning some of my autographs. Over the season I was able to get over 1000 cards, 110 8x10s, 60 4x6 and 20 baseballs signed. Everything I have here posted was obtained by me…. I do not sell the autographs I obtain.

I am heading in late March to Spring Training so I will make another thread with my autographing experience.

Next season I am going to post what upcoming games I will be attending in the TTM/IP autographs forum…. If you collect or just want an autograph from any players I will be seeing feel free to pm me. Obviously for top tier prospects like Madison Bumgarner, Jason Heyward and Jesus Montero I will not be able to offer that due to how little they sign.

Thanks for looking and feel to ask any questions.

He is a very good signer, he'll sign anything.

Getting all of those 8x10s signed is addicting, I know all about that I've got 100s signed myself in the past few years, many top prospects.

Little pricey but the quality of images are great, only licensed minor league photos out there and Brian the owner of futurestarphotos has great customer service.

Excellent! You can easily get about 3/4 of a team a night!

There is only 1 exit the players come out of.

Might see you out there sometime.. I posted a few months ago my autos, and my scans. I did really well last year getting a lot of the guys you got. I did get Matt Wieters, Laporta, Logan Morrison, Ryne Sandberg, and Desmond Jennings and a few others that I see that you didn't have
good luck out there this year
