Through the Mail-Warren Moon

-

 The November train kept rolling along as I received my request from Warren Moon back the same day I received my Landon Donovan return.  As you have probably noticed if you have read this blog at any point in the past, I typically send out only one card per request I send to an athlete.  The reasoning behind that is that I don't sell or trade my collection, so I only want and need one card.  However, this request ended up being a bit different because Mr. Moon charges $10 per request and I only had a $20 but had two cards, so sent them both in rather than trying to make change.  I like the results on both, though typically I will send a vertical card rather than a horizontal one.  This time I sent one of both.





Warren also added the HOF 06 inscription as I requested, which is a nice boost to the cards.  I've had pretty amazing success with Hall of Fame Quarterbacks.  This joins right along with Peyton Manning, Roger Staubach, Dan Fouts, Fran Tarkenton, and Sonny Jurgensen.  They all sit in one row next to the Drew Brees card I got signed in person and the Justin Herbert rookie card I send to a private signing in February this year.  

I will once again advise anyone to visit the TTM tracker I have implemented on this blog.  I will link it to make it easy, but know it's easily available on the home page of this blog.  There you can see every athlete I have sent to plus the wait time.

Thank you as always for reading.

John Stockton

 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.

John Elway

 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.

Joe Montana

 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.
