SoCal Autograph Odysses

 I'm not a fan of MMA, that being the UFC, or any of the affiliated organizations with mixed martial arts, but while at Target last week I did see that they had Topps Chrome UFC mega boxes that come with a guaranteed autograph. It was intriguing enough for me to get a box and check it out. My autograph was someone I had never heard of, which is not surprising because there are only probably six or seven names I know in that world.  Belal Muhammad was the autograph I pulled. Maybe someone that knows something about the sport could tell me something about this guy? On a side note, my review of the cards themselves were that they are alright. 

 A couple of months ago I added a couple of  numbered Prizm autographs from two of the better players at their respective positions in NFL history. First, Antonio Gates should be a slam dunk Hall of Famer even though he somehow got skipped on the initial ballot he was eligible on. The Gates is numbered /75. Tim Brown, the Raider's Hall of Fame receiver is the other auto and is numbered /49. I like the look of Prizm parallel autographs. 

 It has been a few weeks since I last posted on this blog because my autograph collecting has slowed down a bit as there was a gap between signings that I sent in to. Breaking the drought is a return from a signing I sent in to for NHL and hockey Hall of Famer Denis Savard. I decided to send a Topps rookie card to have signed with his HOF 2000 inscription, and I am real pleased with the result.
