As stated in my blog, we have oldtimers and the local guys who come around after the season. That makes my year, love it...But here's the question, I am a collector as well, never sell any of my stuff. I find some look at me like a dealer, which I am not. I am just a 36 year old kid with a bank account. I make good money, I don't need to sell $100 jerseys on ebay. Buy how do I send that message to the players I am hounding? I will admit, I do use my wife for most autos, she tilts her head, says "Please" and yah it works. Now, I do believe in autograph Karma, I really do. I only ask for one and my wife one, never any more. I had the chance for a second IP signed Jack Nicklaus and John Daly 8x10, the caddie asked my wife and I if we wanted him to go and get the guys to sign them. We said no and he asked the guy next to us, and got something signed. I had no issue with that, made his day. I swear on my whole collection, the very next day we went golfing at Silvertip in Canmore, Alberta Can, got out of our car and PGA Tour player Stephen Ames was getting out of the car next to us. It was 7:00 am, we were the only 2 cars in the lot! At our Robyn Regehr thing this spring, again we only asked for 1 each, thinking the Mike Weir thing the following week would be easy. And it was. So what about us 'big kids' who just love the hobby of collecting? I don't have kids yet but am looking forward to what you are talking about. Glenn Anderson didn't want to sign my Oiler jersey, I ended up getting someone else, the he would. How do we stop being 'labeled'? I am as frustrated as you are about this topic....Sorry for the length...kchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951277072741037244noreply@blogger.com
