Justin Herbert private signing

-

 Thanks to SportsCollectors.net, which again I can't recommend highly enough, I saw that Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert was holding a private signing.  The prices were fair for a player who was probably going to be the NFL rookie of the year.  I had to pay for and sign up for this signing before February, and the NFL didn't announce who won Rookie of the Year until February 6th, so I was taking a gamble in paying for the 2020 NFL ROY inscription before we knew for a fact he was going to win the award.  When you also take into account that NFL quarterbacks re extremely expensive signers (Tom Brady costs $1500 ish for an 11x14, Aaron Rodgers is close to $600, etc) I thought the investment was sound.  I picked an 11x14 for him to sign, signed up for the signing, and then sent my stuff in asking for where I wanted it to be signed and where I wanted the potential inscription.  I also asked for the photo to be signed in light blue paint pen.  After a bit more than a month waiting in eager anticipation, FedEx delivered this to me today, and I think the results are amazing. 

I am going to get this framed in powder blue and yellow, to match the Chargers' colors.  I will update this post with the finished product when all is said and done.  This is an excellent piece to add to my collection and will definitely be taking a place on my wall.

I picked up the autograph from the framers today.  I chose museum glass this time and I have to say, I do notice a difference.

 One of the notoriously tough autographs to get among all modern era sports figures, I saw recently that John Stockton was going to be doing an ultra rare signing. After looking at the prices, I decided that they were on the pricey side, so instead looked into getting a card off eBay. It is often the case that signings are more expensive than getting an auto card from Panini or Topps, etc. because you can send in exactly what you want to get signed. I don't typically complain about pricing for signings, but I did observe that the cost to send in my own card was 4-5x what buying a John Stockton signed card off eBay would cost. Therefore, I found a fairly priced one and went that direction.  As you can see, I went with an Obsidian auto and this particular card is numbered /35.

 My Hall of Fame and elite quarterback train is still steaming along, as I just added a signed John Elway card to my collection. This card comes from 2023 Prestige football, is numbered /25. I saw that a lot of people were having a lot of luck with their hits in Prestige megas in retail, though the few boxes I opened were crap. I jumped into the eBay market to get this card, as card prices have come down and you can get some of these all time greats for much less than even a year ago. Honestly, I bought this card for the price of two mega boxes, so I'm not sure what I'm even doing buying sealed product in the first place.

 Much like the Dan Marino and John Elway autos I have posted about recently, I also acquired a Joe Montana Panini autographed card.  Like the Marino card, this is also a blue cracked ice numbered /75. Of the big name, all tike great QB's in the league, I believe the only one I might be missing still is Tom Brady. It might be a while yet before I find a way to get something he signed into my collection.
