DaCollector's Auto Collection

[dacollector]

Hello, I am Patrick. I am addicted to sports collectibles and autographing. :crazy I have two sons who are also addicts.

I will begin listing some of my autos here, I will try to keep it to 1 card per post so comments will be directly related to the card it is for.

I have 140+ autos here with me and my sons autos are with them. My oldest is in the Navy, stationed in VA and my youngest is in FL. Together we have about 400 different items. I will post theirs this summer when they can bring the items up.

I will also be listing new autos as acquired throughout the summer.

We have an extensive collection of Certified pack autos, I will list some of them also.

ON TO THE CARDS !!!!

P.S. For 'bonus points' who's auto is this???

Obtained when he was with the Padres in 2006. Man it sure was hard to pick him out of the crowd of Padres.

Met 'Flash' in 2006 in Philly. Told him "Mariano misses you", replied with "I miss him too". Nice condition fragile 1989 Donruss RC.

Met Carl in 2006. He signed for 3 kids the first nite the Rays were in Philly. He took my sons card but got called because the bus was leaving. Told my son I'll catch you later. AND THE NEXT NIGHT HE DID !!! without any promting or reminding. Came right to my son after the game and signed for him, me and like 6 other kids.

May 29, 1991 ... Dale reached the 2,000 hit milestone with the Phillies. I had met Dale a few dozen times and I was amazed by his patience to stand and sign for EVERYONE almost every nite. So I decided to give him a little thank you. During the game as Dale was on deck, I would get as close to the field as possible so I could snap a pic on every pitch. Then finally it happened, a bloop double behind 2nd base and he was in the 2,000 club. I had the photos developed and made 2 8x10s. I framed one and on the next autographing trip I talked to a security guard and explained what the photo was and he arranged a private meeting with Dale. Dale was totally shocked and asked if I had a photo for myself. He offered to authenticate it for me. I hope his has become a good momento from his career, this is one of the most important pieces of my collection. Should Dale make the hall, I will have 1 printed to give to the hall and send the negatives to Dale for him to do with as he pleases. The ball is just right of the 330 on the outfield wall ...

Jimmy Rollins Stadium Bobblehead Giveaway !!!!! Premiere part of my collection. Handed Jimmy the bobble, he says "Where should I sign this???" Space restrictive, Jimmy's sig can get big if you give him the room.

Yup, figured that would not take too long, Richie had a good sig
