I wish I took more pictures with players.(Additional reading: The Case of the Disappearing Autograph) I wish I knew not to use any baseball other than a Rawlings Official Major Leagues Baseball (ROMLB).If you haven’t already shared your thoughts please leave a comment. The following list includes a collection of reflections, both mine and yours. I also posed the question to you in my recent Reggie Jackson autograph giveaway-what do you wish you knew when you started collecting? (Sixty-nine of you responded-thank you!) Talking to a “young” collector reminded me of those formative days and what I wish I knew when I started. She started collecting two years ago and is far more seasoned than I was at that point my career (perhaps even now). Last week while graphing the Bill Russell celebration in Boston I met Amelia, a collector and Autograph University reader. The Truth Effect: Rising World: Book 1 By Anne Mor.One of the first (painful) lessons collectors learn is to never use “China” balls.Intersection Thirteen By Matthew Buscemi - A Diffe.27 days later, these arrived in the mail.
So I targeted Armin Shimerman of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fame.įollowing Troys suggestions in the book to the letter, I obtained two 8x10 prints, wrote a letter and sent the package off. As I read, I thought, it would be neat to review Troy's book in the blog and it would be even better if I actually tried his methods in obtaining an autograph to talk about on the blog. I said sure and started reading his drafts and sending feedback. Here a few months ago, Troy told me he was writing a book about autograph collecting and asked if I would look it over and offer suggestions. I still wasn't convinced to get into TTMing at that point. So one evening, he mixed up some Jovian Sunspots (a mixed drink from Babylon 5) and we visited for quite some time looking at his photos and talking about his experiences in collecting. Troy came down to Omaha for OSFest 7 and he brought a bunch of his autographed 8x10's for my to look at. Then I met my friend and now mentor in the TTM side of collecting, Troy Rutter. I was completely satisfied just collecting IP. How I Got Started - Part 3 - Through The Mail Autographs (TTM) Following the ending of Deep Space Nine, he recorded a compilation album of the songs he performed on DS9 enttled "This One's From The Heart." I highly recommend it is you are a Vic Fontaine Fan, as I am. Darren has appeared in numerous movies such as The Guns Of Naverone, the Gidget movies, The Flintstones, The Donna Reed Show, co-starring with William Shatner on T.J. James Darren, actor and musician that Deep Space Nine fans will recognize as Vic Fontaine. This return came back in 39 days and a note (that will not be posted) was included. You can also check out her audiobook "The Return Of King Lillian" read by Suzie herself, which is Awesome. Not only is Suzie an amazing on screen actress, she is also a recording artist and an author.Ĭheck out her work on IMDB, or at Amazon for my favorite song she recorded it is also available in video version on YouTube. No matter the role, I just call her beautiful. Selar, the female Q in Voyager, and as the female Andorian in Enterprise. Us Trekkies know her best as K'Ehleyr, some may also remember her as Dr. Here is my photo with David Gerrold (just before the shot was taken, he proclaimed this as our engagement photo). Gerrold held an autograph session and when I asked if I could have a photo with him, he said yes. Gerrold gave a talk about his relationship with the writer. We watched numerous television episodes that Gene Coon wrote and Mr. I thought it would be fun, but when I learned that David Gerrold was also going to be in attendance, I made it a must go event.
AUTOGRAPH COLLECTING SERIES
I was surprised to learn that the writer and producer of original series Star Trek, was born in Nebraska. Last March, I learned that there was going to be a celebration of the life of Gene L.
I have to admit that I haven't sent any requests for a long time, but I do have several requests out there that have not panned out, so far.Īnyway, I have added to my collection this year as a result of a gathering I attended back in March and from two conventions, one my son attended and the other from the O Comic Con in Omaha. It has been almost a year since my last TTM return. There is still hope for the fifteen that are still out there in the mail. I guess I have learned that when it comes to TTM autograph collecting, there might be a surprise from time to time.
