I love the look of your custom TTM cards. Congrats on the returns!

Oz

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jan 11 2011, 07:17 PM

Thanks man. I've always liked the big space on Press pass autos and so i kinda took the idea from them. I have thought of changing the design but think i will stick with this one.

Posted by: cardcrazed Jan 12 2011, 02:27 AM

Awesome returns! Always great to see TTM success!

Justin

Posted by: datboytaz Jan 13 2011, 10:33 AM

Justin,
I'm not sure if you've ever been able to get him but Oronde Gadsden works for 790theticket, an AM station down here. I'd say try going to their website to get the address & try sending something to him there. I had a success thru their office for Cliff Floyd so it's worth a shot

Posted by: whalerfan Jan 13 2011, 11:48 AM

Nice successes - I forgot about those old Eagles unis!

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jan 16 2011, 03:42 PM

Thanks datboy. I will def try it and see. Is that the one joe rose works for too?

another Dolphins add today (came in friday)

Another Long awaited TTM add sent back in July and got back Friday.
Austin Spitler (ST player) College: Ohio State. This card is from the Big33 High School set.

Posted by: datboytaz Jan 16 2011, 05:44 PM

No, Joe Rose works for 560 WQAM. Sorry it slipped my mind on earlier post that I couldv'e just copied & pasted the mailing address' for ya.

Down here we have 2 stations that do the sports down here. 560WQAM does the Dolphins, Panthers & Hurricanes football while 790theticket does Marlins & Heat games.

As for IP events & autos, I think wqam does a better job cause at least once a week they have ppl joining Sid Rosenberg from a live broadcast @ a sports bar somewhere. Tomorrow it's gonna be Antrel Rolle & Kenny Philips from the Giants & Hurricanes fame.

Ok sorry to run on; here they are, website first

Posted by: edgerrin32 Feb 7 2011, 11:29 PM

Sweet!!

Posted by: chopinalex Feb 7 2011, 11:34 PM

May I ask what you write to them and how you find there addresses. I have old San Antonio Spurs cards I would like to have TTM.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Feb 8 2011, 04:24 PM

Thanks

Well i usually relate to then and let them know i am a fan of the dolphins or them themselves. I write like a paragraph or so and always make sure I ask for the auto and dont expect one.

As for where i get the addys. Some here but mostly sportscollectors.net is a great site.
You can get the past 2 weeks of successes free but aside from that its 15 a year.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Mar 5 2011, 05:00 PM

Posted by: edgerrin32 Apr 11 2011, 09:37 AM

Posted by: Gadsden86 Apr 19 2011, 10:25 PM

I do too

Hey all here are a few things i've gotten latley
Kinda forgot about this one.
3/3 in about 93 days. Sent to Patriots and sent back from FL.
The other 2 will be shown once done. They are another Dual.



also went to a card show and an oldtime Redsox player was signing.
Frank Malzone. Was like 9 bucks but it was for charity so i didn't mind.


About a month on this one.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Apr 20 2011, 04:54 PM

hey guys got 2 more intoday.
1 was from
Scott Schwedes. Sent him 2 cards 1 for him to keep. He replied with a nice note on the bottom of my letter saying how he loved the card and how original it was. He also said he was including the Kodak pic autoed of himself as i seem like a sincer Dolphins (that i am)



then i got this from Mike Holmes Played 1 season for the Dolphins in 76 He signed the top loader and never took out the cards. So i will take it but may send back sometime. For now i cut out his auto from the top loader and placed it over the card and then in another top loader. Doesn't look to bad lmk what you think and if you have ever had this happen before.

Posted by: cardcrazed Apr 21 2011, 01:44 AM

pretty awesome returns! Can't say I have ever heard of them signing the toploader! Congrats on your success!

Justin

Posted by: whalerfan Apr 21 2011, 01:24 PM

Yea, I got one back from Jay Pandolfo - just think you can change out the card!

Posted by: Gadsden86 Apr 21 2011, 09:57 PM

Yea was thinking of do a redesign and making a cut.

Posted by: rnpurdue Apr 22 2011, 06:40 AM

That happen to a member over on the sportscollectors.net site, where an athlete signed his top loader. But I think his was a HOF'er with a high fee. Needless to say, he was a little frustrated.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Apr 22 2011, 04:06 PM

yea i posted mine their as well. Not sure if i will resend or not.

Posted by: gregorium Apr 23 2011, 08:56 AM

I had Butch Bouchard sign my penny sleeve, but he realized the mess up and also signed the card.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Apr 26 2011, 02:49 PM

here are the adds i have gotten in.


Cade Mcnown.


TIm Irwin Played only a few games for the Dolphins.

LMK what you guys think.

Posted by: gregorium May 24 2011, 05:36 PM

Nice returns.

Posted by: Gadsden86 May 24 2011, 08:55 PM

Thanks hoping for more this week. sent 2 more today and got 6 more i just need to write letters for

Posted by: gregorium May 26 2011, 05:48 PM

I hear you on the letters. I find it to be the most time consuming part.

Posted by: rnpurdue May 26 2011, 09:49 PM

I agree also. Spent nearly 2 hours writing letters today at work. I wonder if they ever read them?

Posted by: Gadsden86 May 27 2011, 07:45 PM

Yea i have a base start for most of my letters and thats already a 1/2 of paragraph
I just start to write why i am writing to them and then i got about a 1/2 page so its usually good...

On a sad note got a RTS today.
Said Not deliverable as addressed can not forward. It was for Tyrone Braxton he had a success at the same addy i used only a few weeks ago. Wondering if he moved.
Anyone have an addy for him?

Posted by: cardcrazed May 29 2011, 10:07 AM

I send typed letters, takes less time and seems to be pretty successful! I did recently send out a handwritten letter as an experiment to see if it would be as successful so we will just have to wait and see! As far as you getting a RTS yeah those can be real bummers, I've gotten my share of them!

Justin

Posted by: gregorium May 30 2011, 07:06 PM

I never found a difference between typed and handwritten, so now I use my template and personalize it for each. Still time consuming though.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jun 7 2011, 09:56 AM

3 TTM's back 1 was a RTS from Tony bua (unable to forward)

then 2 original dolphins.
these 2 back from Frank jackson



then this one from a more obscure player in LaVerneTorczon found his addy on YP.com


thats it for now lmk what you think.

Hope for more today

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jun 7 2011, 02:22 PM

Hey guys got another in today and its a nice one.... will let the pic do the talking.

Posted by: cardcrazed Jun 7 2011, 07:00 PM

Thats what I'm talking about!!!

Justin

Posted by: rnpurdue Jun 7 2011, 08:48 PM

Well done on the Manning! Looks like he is playing nice and keeping up his rep by signing for free and for often. Now is the time to get his auto cheap and easy.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jun 14 2011, 08:14 PM

Thanks, was very happy with that one.

got 1 in today and 1 in Friday or sat.
the one over the weekend brought me.
2/2 Nick Giaquinto
Played for the Dolphins in 1980 & 81 then for the Redskins. Nice return in 15 days.



Then this today. An unheralded player but i always like him. also always signs in Green.. not sure why but just does.
1/2 told him to keep one as i do all the players i send to.
Steve Towle Dolphins from 1975-80 19 days


Love getting the lesser known guys and the ones who dont have certified autos.

thats it for now hope for more later.

Posted by: Daniel.kr88 Jun 15 2011, 03:06 AM

Nice succeses and nice custom cards,how did you doing your custom cards

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jun 15 2011, 09:24 AM

Thanks. Guessing you mean how did i start?
Well i do alot of computer work at my job and started dabbling in customs and finally came up with a design i really like. Always been a big fan of press pass and having the white area makes great for the auto.

Posted by: Daniel.kr88 Jun 15 2011, 10:43 AM

this is the standard card size?Do you print this on your own priter?I would like to try make own custom card and I don´t know how can I make this

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jun 15 2011, 08:34 PM

Hey guys great day for autographs for me.
1st was a TTM. about 30 days
2/2 Louis Oliver


then today was a local Celebrity Patriots softball game.
Players thier were.
Jim Bowman, Steve Deiossie, Jermain Wiggins, Patrick Pass, Rob Gronkowski, Brian Hoyer, Rob Ninkovich, Scott Zolak, Jermain Cunningham & Kevin Faulk.

Well they moved the game to 6:30 for the Bruins game tonight only about 100-200 people showed. The game lasted about an hour then they all signed for about 20 minuets. Didnt seem like anyone was being mauled just Gronk for the very beginning.
I 1st got Steve Dieossie on a mini helmet was very nice. Then went over to Brian Hoyer and had him sign an 8x10 of him from the show game he loved the pic. Then went over to Rob Ninkovich and a woman asked him to sign her shirt she then said thanks Gronk.
He was like i'm not a TE and i'm much better looking

He signed my mini helmet and a Blank card as he was a former Dolphins player as well.
I then found Zolak he was alone and i was like hows it going he said good then i showed him my custom and he loved it and signed w/ his dolphins number as well.
To wrap this up got all the guys that were their except Patrick pass. Had him before but for got to get him again oh well. Was a fun time and only the cost of the mini helmet for all these autos.

Here are some pics.(mini helmet not show camera is dead )



Jermain Wiggins


Rob Ninkovich

Scott Zolak

Posted by: rnpurdue Jun 15 2011, 10:02 PM

Well done my friend. Well done.

Booyah Baby....great stuff.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jun 28 2011, 10:31 PM

almost 2 weeks since my last TTM.
well got this one in today.
2/2 44 days.
Trent Green auto


With this success my count now stands at (not counting what i am sending on 6/29)

118 Sent
86 Successes
6 Failures
26 waiting on

thats a nice 72 % success rate. Can't ask for more.
also
My failures
Fuad Reveis- 1 never came back and the other was RTS... think this guy just doesnt want to sign for me.

Chris Chambers--- nothing after 1 year

Tony Bua- resent to new addy.

Peyton Manning - 1st time i sent got a pp 2nd time was good

Billy sims- must have gotten lost as many have gone and come since to the same addy. Will resend.

Drew Brees- Saints card sent back w/ brees gold card. Cool return auto would hav been better.

Oh well here is to many more autos threw the mail

Posted by: rnpurdue Jun 28 2011, 11:06 PM

You are not the only one having problems with Billy Sims. I saw requests come and get returned and mine is still out there. I sent him a football with a donation. Nothing. Manning appears to be bipolar with his signings. I got a success, then the dreaded autopen. LMK if your next attempt with those clowns results in suucess. Otherwise, I think our mailmen know each other and decide which days to send us TTM's .

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jun 29 2011, 03:02 PM

Sure. I will resend to Billy at some point just not sure when.

Posted by: ronaldinho0003 Jun 29 2011, 04:04 PM

72%...very nice! Keep them coming.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jun 30 2011, 04:27 PM

Thanks. guys.

Hey guys got a nice TTM i sent 62 days ago.
Sent me back both my customs and added his own card of himself in a Dolphins uniform. Also sent my letter back saying thank you and signed that as well. So 4 autos from him alone. Great return. He was the dolphins 1st Kicker. Also was a receiver for them as well.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jul 3 2011, 08:04 PM

3 TTM's/ All came back on the same day.
2/2 Willie West (1st Dolphins probowler)


1/2
Willie Richardson. Played Rest of his career with the Colts.



2/2 Jim Arnold Took almost 3 months but got it back.

Posted by: cardcrazed Jul 4 2011, 10:36 AM

Awesome successes! Can you pm me the willie richardson address? Congrats again on the returns!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jul 4 2011, 07:10 PM

On the way.
Always willing to share the addys if able to.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jul 5 2011, 03:30 PM

1 In today...

A price list from Marv Fleming. Stinks wish i had known he charges would have added it then. Only 10 for a card. So i will send 10 in M.o for it this week.
Have paid that much for guys who will never be close to what he was.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jul 12 2011, 09:06 PM

came in about 9 days.
was on the Dolphins 66 Team working on getting as many of them as i can before they pass away.
Pete Jaquess.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jul 16 2011, 12:20 PM

3 TTM's in the past 2 days.

Jim Dunaway TTM took about 2 weeks.


and Tom Erlandson about 2 weeks as well.
He also added a nice note saying how he was and how he was Co- captain for the phins in 66 and NFL rep for them as well in 67.
Always great to get a nice note back in return.



and then these 2 took about 170 days. Didn't think i was getting them back. Nice return.

Posted by: rnpurdue Jul 17 2011, 07:10 AM

I love your collection. Could you point me in the right direction as to how to make the customs? BTW, great returns.

Posted by: cardcrazed Jul 17 2011, 09:28 AM

Once again you have killed these returns! Congrats on the Woodhead return!

Justin

Posted by: Superhuskiefan1 Jul 17 2011, 08:47 PM

U send out to mike pouncey?

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jul 17 2011, 09:43 PM

Thanks much i work hard on them to get them right. Basically i use photoshop. I seach Google for the pics i use then start a file in Photoshop and go from thier.
I print them out at work on a 100 lb cardstock and use a sticker for my generic back i have on these.


Thanks Justin. I love getting them back need to send more but been busy.



I did. On the 30th or so hope to get one back soon.

Posted by: Superhuskiefan1 Jul 17 2011, 10:19 PM

Same since the lockout looks like it could be over

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jul 27 2011, 04:25 PM

Marv Fleming TTM (10 fee)


then a guy who played maybe 3 games for the Dolphins sent him 4 cards and he sent 2 back 1 of each custom.
Jeff groth




Then a local kid from north attleboro was drafted by the Cardinals out of UCONN in the 5th round. My buddie had a signing for him great kid hope to see him get some cards soon.

Posted by: cardcrazed Jul 27 2011, 08:13 PM

Local athletes are always cool to get autos from! Congrats on all the success!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jul 29 2011, 05:30 PM

Very ture myman.
OK guys here is 1 i got in today great return.
He sent me one of my customs back signed a Norter dame card signed and a pic of him in a Dolphins uni.
He also asked me to make him some customs using the pic he sent and that he would pay me.
I'll just ask for a few signed in return don't feel right asking players for money. Maybe see if he has any other stuff from when he was a Dolphin.
any how here are the 2.




Then a signed pic of a few dolphins players i got for under 4 bucks dlvd.

Posted by: cardcrazed Jul 30 2011, 08:09 AM

once again you are killing these TTM's, my luck has totally dried up! Can I get that Furjanic address you used? Congrats and keep sending em out!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Aug 3 2011, 06:37 AM

yep on its way. Great guy and quick return.

Posted by: ronaldinho0003 Aug 3 2011, 09:22 AM

Doug Crusan


Went to a signing before the game last night it was free to the public w/ tickets to the game. Almost all Players for the Pawsox were thier but so was about 500+ people.
Thier were a bunch of tables around the warning track and you could go to whatever table and get 1 auto per person per player. You could skip tables if you wanted.
I wanted to get certain guys so here is what i got.

ball #1
Royce Ring. Only one on this ball would have gotten more but didn't have time.


Ball #2
Kevin Millwood


Michael Bowden


Tommy Hottovy & Felix Doubront


then I got 2 cards.
Mike Fox (forgot about the ball)


Hideki Okajima


Then the Bat this was the thing i wanted most.
3 guys are on it.
These 2 i got last and Exposito Signed for me then got up and left i was the last one
luis exposito

Jose Iglasias


and the guy i wanted the most DH/ Catcher Top 5 prospect in the system.
Ryan Lavarnway


LMK what you think. Was fun and hope to go next year.

Posted by: rnpurdue Aug 7 2011, 07:51 AM

Posted by: cardcrazed Sep 11 2011, 11:30 PM

Awesome! Gotta love kicker mail! I don't know what it is with kickers but they take forever, I sent to John Carney and finally got it back after several months!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Sep 13 2011, 09:38 PM

yea i was starting to think he didnt like me.

Posted by: datboytaz Sep 14 2011, 01:04 AM

Justin, Have you tried sending to Orande personally? He's covering Dolphins games again this year for 790 the ticket. You can get their mailing address @ 790theticket.com There's a few ex-Phins workng for them actually cause Sam Madison does the pregame show & then a few others are on every week.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Sep 18 2011, 04:42 PM

Acctually sent to Gadsden this week to the 790 addy so we will see.
Channing signs ttm from his radio show so may try him too.

Got both these from the same guy not a TTM from me but he said they were TTM's.
Autos look good from what i can find. Couldnt find one of Griggs but he was killed in 1995 so his stuff is impossible to find.

O.J Brigance Played for the Dolphins from 1996-1999


then David Griggs Played with the Dolphins 1989-94


Then had Tony Furjanic send me a pic of him in a dolphins uni and ask me to make some cards for him. So i did and all i asked in return was one signed back.
Well he sent one of each card i made.
so now have 4 of his autos



then sent to a old dolphins player played 1 &1/2 seasons Rick Volk.


lastly got this. sent almost 3 months ago to his home addy figured it was not gonna get to him and was gonna send to the dolphins as i have seen returns.
well then this shows up.

Posted by: datboytaz Sep 18 2011, 04:58 PM

chad pennington is doing a show for 790 also

Posted by: Gadsden86 Sep 18 2011, 09:24 PM

cool thanks. Not sure he signs TTM.

Posted by: cardcrazed Sep 19 2011, 01:05 PM

very nice! Sounds like you made friends with furjanic! Congrats on all the successes!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Sep 19 2011, 04:04 PM

THanks. I do my best to be nice and curtious the players they are most of the time giving me a FREE auto.

Well 2 more today. Both came in in 12 days.
Also both played only a few games in 1976 so kinda funny they both took 12 days and signed no problem.

1st Ike Hill
1976 (2 games no stats)
Also added a small note thanking me and signed it as well.

then Bryant Salter 1976
More known for his time on the chargers and Redskins.
2/2


thanks for the look.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Sep 20 2011, 08:20 PM

Larry Izzo took about 4months. (now a coach for the Giants)

Posted by: rnpurdue Oct 25 2011, 10:07 PM

Good returns sir.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Oct 29 2011, 11:15 AM

Thanks

Sammie Smith. About 4 months for a return. Asked me to make him some.


Then this in just under 2 weeks.



thanks for looking.

Posted by: rnpurdue Oct 30 2011, 08:20 AM

Wow, everyone is having success with Mr. Pryor.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Oct 30 2011, 04:38 PM

yea was a nice return from a good athlete.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Nov 3 2011, 03:16 PM

1st the TTM's
Got this back signed on back and a note from his wife saying sorry about the signature he has Alzheimers and cant remember how to sign his name.
It was the thought that she even tried for me that makes this a great return. Will end up buying one as well for the PC.


Then this 77 days
2/2 Mercury Morris


also a few PSU 8x10 adds.
I got a RTS from Brett Brackett who was on the dolphins PS when i sent to him. Kinda funny the phins sent it back but no others.
Got this the same day.


Then another great TTM seems if you send a 8x10 to him he will sign it so i did. Def not a auto pen you can see the different pressure marks from the signing. Glad to get this back.

Posted by: cardcrazed Nov 4 2011, 12:57 AM

WOWSERS! Awesome successes!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Nov 10 2011, 05:00 PM

Got 2 today.
1 took just over a month and the other just over 2 weeks.
1st the 72 Dolphins add. Great pickup of a player. Kept 1 as offered and sent the other back.


then this one. Saw the last success in under a week so started to worry abit. Then today got a 8x10 holder in the mail.
From Ned Bolcar. He added a nice 8x10 of himself and paid for the shipping. Great guy and former Dolphins player.

Posted by: whalerfan Nov 10 2011, 08:08 PM

Congrats, gotta love those adders!

Posted by: rnpurdue Nov 10 2011, 08:33 PM

Wow! Just in time on that Paterno.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Nov 10 2011, 09:48 PM

thanks guys. Matt isnt that the truth.

Posted by: cardcrazed Nov 11 2011, 02:05 AM

Justin,
You won't believe this but I just got my Ned Bolcar mailer today! It took 16 days to get mine back and I still can't believe he paid the postage for that! Will go down as one of my favorite successes!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Nov 12 2011, 08:38 AM

awesome Justin. Was gonna get you this addy once you saw it if you hadn't sent to him. Looks like he is one of the nicest TTm'ers. Always cool of players to send something they dont have too.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Nov 16 2011, 05:04 PM

a few TTM's
This one came in the other day sent 584 days. Guess it got lost at his place as i got a return from him a few months back in around 70 days.


then this a quick one to ESPN in CT and back 8 days.
Mike Golic. X2


then not dolphins but i won a door prize at the last card show and was able to pick an item. Well this was a 2 item lot
Jose Conseco Auto ball and card. He played for the redsox for a short time so this will be in my redsox baseball PC. the auto card will be for trade or just sit in the PC. either way i am ok with it.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Nov 28 2011, 05:02 PM

Hey guys got 2 more in both towards my 1966 Team Project.
1st
Ken Rice Played for them 1966-67 he also added a nice note and signed that as well.


Then this back. Al Dotson. He played for them in 1966 only and a few more years for the Raiders. He signed the front and back of the card and also added a note saying he was the 2nd leading tackler on the 66 Dolphins just behind the MLB and signed that as well.

Back



Both great returns for former players. I now sit at the 1/2 way point of the 1966 team. 9 Players have passed away and it is becoming hard to even find thier autos.

Posted by: cardcrazed Jan 10 2012, 10:59 PM

Awesome returns! Congrats on the successes!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jan 14 2012, 10:18 PM

I saw a success today on SCN. Was that you? Either way, great return!

Posted by: Gadsden86 Feb 7 2012, 10:12 PM

Most likely. Depends on what one. If you mean the park from 800 + days then no. Most of my post say something about the Dolphins in the descriptions.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Feb 12 2012, 04:37 PM

got 2 TTM's back Both took 8 days to get back.
1st
Joe Prokop. Played in the NFL from 1985-92 and part of the 92 season was w/ the Dolphins.


Then this one from John "Bull" Bramlett.
Played in the NFL for 1965-71 was known as the meanest man in football then after football he became a christian and left all that behind.
He signed my custom "Bull" Bramlett. Most of all autos you find he only signs "Bull". Very happy he added a bit more to it.

2nd attempt TTM. Sent the 1st time w/ a dolphins custom and he signed the top loader.
This time he kept 1 as offered and signed the card. Made a NFL/CFL & USFL custom. He was a CFL all star in 1980. Also a 1st round draft pick of the 49ers in 1974.


Then my new one from today.
2/2 in 2 weeks. Great return. Was told he didnt sign TTM then saw a success and piggybacked off it.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Mar 16 2012, 04:11 PM

Hey guys great 2 mail days for me 1st off was a
TTM from former Dolphins center
Tim Ruddy 2/2 under 2 weeks.


then i tried last year to get Cameron wake TTM but found out he is represented by the same guys who have Tebow as an exclusive. Well i was able to meet the owners of palm beach autographs at the Nationals in 2010 in Baltimore and they were great guys they gave me a deal on a Cameron Wake mini helmet then. Saw 2 weeks ago that Wake was having a public signing and you could send stuff in if you couldn't go. So i jumped at it. I decided to make one of my customs and sent it. Just got it back today and i am speechless. This is one of the best autograph companies out their here is the card and the added items.




Thanks for looking lmk what you think.

Hey guys so its been way to long since a post here.
Well since my moving plans may have changed a bit i sent out a few quick returners of TTM'ing that i always wanted to get.
so in the past week and 1/2 i sent out 7 all should be quick as far as i know.
Well anyhow i have gotten 4 back and all on Friday to boot. 8 Days each.

1st is a IP auto i got when i went to the Redsox vs Marlins game back in june my wife got tickets from work and we were 3 rows back on the 3rd base line. Some guys called Heath Bell over and i got him on a Pack filler. Makes great spur of the moment auto cards.


Then these 4 from ttming. BTW these are a new custom i am trying out plmk what you think of them.
1st Billy Kilmer signed 1 of 2


Dan Fouts 2/2 always wanted him and finally made one and sent it out.


Fred Arbanas 2/2 great former Chiefs TE should be in the HOF imo great player for his time.


Last for now
Mark Dennis 2/2 another Dolphins lineman been way to long since i had a new dolphins player come back. My project needs to get going again.


Oh yea made this as a purchase got it for .01 so not a bad grab.
Shane Burton auto
