Thought this would be a good place to put up your recent autograph pickups.

I'll start with these four, all on South Atlantic League balls. Going L to R they are Joey Gallo, Cito Culver, Dante Bichette Jr. and Bubba Starling.

These are my latest pickups in order of newest on top left and working to the right then from the left to right in the next row and so on.

All of these were obtained in person and all but the David Cone were obtained at Royals games.

In order they are Butler, 2 Trout, Trumbo, 2 Cone, 3 Rivera, Girardi and Mark Gubicza.

All the rest are ones I got last year. They are Fielder, Moustakas, Hosmer, 2 Escobar, Miguel Cabrera, Torii Hunter, Sal Perez, 2 Fielder, Austin Jackson ad Anibal Sanchez.

I was surprised he signed as much as he did...really wish I had brought more honestly. He signed from 10am-12:40pm, and from 1:50-like 3:30pm. Just crazy...and hardly anyone wanted Anthony Munoz.

Good job on the Miggy graph. I've heard he's hard to track down

Wasn't able to get a pic with him as his guy was taking stuff on the bus to get signed, but today was a good day meeting Ice Cube.

Signed 8x10 and 11x14

Thanks man. I have real good luck at Kauffman Stadium. I got him twice last year. I got your boy Trout twice last year and twice this year. Over the years I've gotten several stars. The only one I haven't been able to get is Jeter. Time is running out on him.

Does Cabrera sign before bp or after he does his stretches? I heard he's a great signer. As far as Jeter goes, GOOD LUCK. I've been trying to get that guy for years and have only ever seen him sign a few autos...mainly for people that know him.

When I got him last year, he signed every day as he was walking in. I have only got him inside once and that was this year and only because I was standing with a guy who knows him. He didn't sign at all walking in. I saw him sign 2 walking out and through the 3 game series, I saw him sign a total of 6 autographs. 3 were to guys that he knew, the 2 when he was walking out and mine. I have heard that he'll sign more as the season goes on. I'm going to try again next time he's here but trying for a 2012 All Star jersey number this time.

You said it. I don't EVER recall seeing Jeter sign during BP at the Cell. Can't say about the hotels, as I respect the visiting team's privacy.

I'll try Cabrera in a few weeks when they come to comiskey. Thankfully, they're coming here this month, next month and in Sept. I have a few items but not a whole lot. I hope he hasn't gotten harder since last season.

I heard Jeter signs at the hotel, but I'm not that desperate, and it's very rare. I agree with Dave, I respect player privacy and leave the hotels to the dealers.

I use to do the hotels but for past few years only do the ballpark unless I find out that a player only signs at the hotel - which many do.

They feel that the Ballpark is their 'work' and have mentioned outside Coors Field that they only sign at the hotel.

So it can go both ways.

I was is Chicago for the home opener against the Royals. I stayed at the same hotel as the Royals but didn't ask for a single autograph. I just didn't feel right doing it. I talked with almost every player I saw but no autographs. I did notice that they allowed people to stand outside behind a rope and several players signed walking out towards the bus. It may be your best chance to get him. But, in KC he has a driver drive him so he may not take the bus in Chi-town if he has one there too.

That's true about some players only signing at hotels. I just couldn't get myself to do it....and I won't pay $300 for jeter or pujols either:D

Last time I tried the yanks, only 2 people signed inside.. Girardi and Mr. October. I was more than happy getting those 2.

As far as NL players go, I'm SOL since wrigley doesn't allow people to go near the dugouts and I refuse to set foot in that dump.

No luck with Miggy today. I also heard he didn't sign outside. Inside during bp, he recognized some people who were at the hotel and got pissed. However, Prince signed a few after he hit and I was one of those few. I hope Miggy is in a better mood the next 2 games.

So...after going to 7 of 9 games against the Tigers here at Comiskey, I finally got Cabrera..whoopeee!:) He finally signed walking in, and it was the ONLY time he did. From what the others told me, he has become extremely tough and it's because of the dealers at the hotel and people double dipping. Yeah, he does keep track of who he has signed for. Still, he's my fave player.

09-19-2013, 12:53 PM
Glad to hear you got him. I went to almost every Tigers game this year and I didn't see him sign again. I asked some of the guys who are always there and they said he didn't sign other then for 3 kids after one game. That makes roughly about 9 autographs signed all year to the general public at the stadium

His autograph is definitely a tough one now. His game used bats are becoming more rare and expensive too.

Thanks, bud. I did not see him sign one autograph inside; not even for his fellow venezuelans. There were days when there was only 3 or 4 of us outside and he still said no. Then, out of the blue, he picked up a pen signed for us 4.
I have heard the same thing about him signing...it's a lot tougher now. Heck, even the security guards said the same thing. I hope it gets better next season if he doesn't win the TC this year.
His tiger bats are rare, but there are some marlins ones that pop up from time to time.

Ya I don't even care if it's a bat from the Marlins era. People pay a bunch more for the Tiger era. I just want a bat of his.

Got these recently. Both obtained in-person. One paid for at a public signing and one free at the stadium. $35 bucks for the jersey signature with inscription. I picked up the jersey for $80 bucks + tax on sale at Kauffman Stadium. I feel like $120 is a great deal for a player of his potential on this jersey.

I got a couple of Kansas Jayhawks items. A poster signed by all but 2 of the players from this years team. I've had the 2nd one for awhile and well before he hit the shot in 2008. It is a Mario Chalmers signed jersey. It will be complete once I figure out how to get his name added to the back of the jersey.

A few years ago I purchased a lot of Game Used locker nameplates from the Seattle Kingdome. I really only purchased the lot to secure the Ripken, but over the years I've had guys sign their nameplates as something unusual.

The other evening, I saw Bob Boone at an area banquet and had him sign his:

Thanks. It's been hit or miss. I've gotten him on days when there were only about 5-6 people outside. I haven't seen him sign inside yet, though I was told he did during the last series here. I'll try again next month when Detroit comes back.

Showing that Cal Ripken was never afraid of physical contact during that consecutive game streak, here is an original signed photograph from the Chicago Tribune (1992) showing Cal colliding with Pale Hose catcher Matt Merullo..

Ironically, 20 plus years later, Merullo would manage a team owmed by Cal (Aberdeen Ironbirds):
