Vladimir Guerrero Private Signing

 Thanks to information gathered from my usual source, SportsCollectors.net, I was able to participate in a private signing being done with Vladimir Guerrero, the elder.  I found his 1994 Upper Deck prospect card and decided that it had a very good background on it for an autograph.  Plus, I found one on eBay for $4.50, so this was one of the rare instances where I thought sending a rookie card to a signing made sense for me.  I really like the result, and it came with JSA authentication. 

I opted to have the sticker put on the back, which I know makes a lot of collectors squeamish to think about.  In my case though, I don't really have to send this one in to get slabbed now and I don't really plan on ever selling anything anyway. 

I pulled Vlad's son Vlad Jr. in a Topps Heritage blaster retail box back in April, so I was able to add both of these sluggers in the same year, which is cool.

As you can see by comparing the two autographs, they have very similar styles of autograph.
