Thanks for enjoying the stories. They can be good or bad. You just get to know how to get them through experience. Any college teams nearby?
I went for the Marlins today, did fine.
Added Donovan Solano to 2012 Marlins 8x10
Saltalamacchia 1/2
McGehee 1/1
Added Garrett Jones, Stanton, Eovaldi, Jeff Mathis, Jeff Baker & Henderson Alvarez to this year's team 8x10
Preston Wilson 2/2
I got there a little late just missed couple of the coaches. Hechavarria signed. Kevin Gregg & Marcell Ozuna were a few that didn't sign. Oh yes and Frank Menechino lol. Pretty sweet I was able to get Stanton again this season, only signed for 3 of the 6 of us there. So tomorrow I'm going to the game and then I'll have to see what I graph next after that. Thanks for reading.

Well I went to the Mets/Marlins game today. Didn't really go for autographs, just to go. Koehler had a no-hitter for 4 innings for Miami. Mets came back and then won it in the 8th 5-4. During BP, Yelich signed but wasn't able to get him. I got some Marlins coach, #72 Stone on my ticket. I know he was a nobody, just wanted to get an autograph lol. After the game I waited around a little. Only player to sign was...
Granderson 1/1
I googled the guy I got on the Marlins staff before, since he wasn't listed on the coaching staff. He is administrative coach Pat Shine, and he evaluates and monitors replay scenarios lol. So next opponents coming up are the Reds, Rangers, Blue Jays & Phillies. Doubt I'll do any of them. Thanks for reading.

Well it's been over a month. Over the past couple weeks I considered doing the Tigers and Cubs but didn't. Today I did the Astros. About 15 people there.
Robbie Grossman 1/1
Broadcaster Geoff Blum 2/2
Jon Singleton 8x10
Matt Dominguez 1/1
Springer 8x10
Jason Castro 1/1
Dallas Keuchel on blank 4x6
Tony Sipp 1/1
I was a little late for Fowler and couldn't get Scott Feldman. Missed Jake Marisnick. Oberholtzer, Josh Fields & Qualls were few others that signed. Altuve, Pat Listach & Chris Carter didn't sign. Springer didn't sign earlier but signed before boarding the bus. Satisfied with today. Hopefully I can get Altuve next time. Also planned on checking out the USA National Team a little but skipped on it. Also Stephen Curry had a signing but it filled up early...Might do the White Sox Friday. Thanks for reading.

Always enjoy seeing your stuff. Graphing a lost hobby that has been replaced by pack searchers.
Thanks, interesting way to put it.
I went to the Mets/Marlins game yesterday and graphed outside before. Only got a few players, sucked.
Outside:
Buddy Carlyle on 2014 Mets 8x10 & card
Dario Alvarez on 2014 Mets 8x10
Funny thing about Buddy. When he was signing my stuff he said something about me trying to pull a switcheroo. I was wearing a Marlins shirt and Mets cap but said he sat next to me on the subway at the previous stop and said about how I was wearing a Marlins hat before. I don't even remember the guy lol, but had a good laugh with him. At the peak, there were maybe 8 people there. Only others to sign were Gonzalez Germen and missed Wilmer Flores. Some we didn't try for. The big bummer was I left shortly before Bobby Abreu came in, signed for the 3 there. And I forgot to bring my Marlins mini helmet for Brad Penny but thought I'd have a slim to none chance seeing him anyway. Well we did. Only 2 of us tried going up to him but Penny's response to the guy was "Now's not a good time." Also we saw Ozuna but couldn't get to him in time. Inside I didn't expect to get more than 1 guy. Well here's who I got:
Jordany Valdespin on last year's Mets 8x10 and this year's Marlins 8x10
I actually had a chance to get Henderson Alvarez but didn't spot him quick enough. Have to see what's next. Blue Jays come to town next but I'll probably go to the Mets finale next Sunday and maybe I'll try for the 'Stros a different day. Thanks for reading.

Ok the Mets season finale was good, they got the win. Didn't get as many autographs as I hoped, especially it being the final game of the season.
Inside:
Jose Veras on ticket
Jake Marisnick on Marlins 2014 team 8x10
After:
Wilfredo Tovar on Mets 2014 team 8x10
Granderson 1/1
Not many signed inside. Familia didn't sign for me. I think Tejeda signed too. Altuve signed a handful, seemed like only for kids. Couple other Astros signed, nobody notable. I couldn't get anything the Mets threw into the crowd after the game. I was fingertips away from a baseball and missed a hat by maybe 10 feet because I moved. After the game there were at least 100 people waiting around. Only others I know signed were Wright, but in a different spot. Well at least it was a Casey Stengel bobblehead promo that day. Well for the baseball season I ended up getting only 72 autographs, my lowest total since 2010. Only graphed a little here and there. I have no idea what I'm graphing next. Football? Maybe preseason hockey or basketball. Thanks for reading.

Well last night I graphed after the Devils' home opener against San Jose. Did fine, could've done better.
Added John Scott, Jason Demers, Justin Braun, Hertl, Matt Irwin, Niemi, Desjardins, Couture, Mirco Mueller, Coach McLellan, Barclay Goodrow & Marleau to this season's Sharks 8x10
Vlasic was first to come out and signed for no one. Burns signed a few, couldn't get. There was a time when roughly half the team came out together, got some of them. Once again couldn't get Pavelski, only unsigned photo left over from last season.
Over to the Devils side:
Dainius Zubrus and Cammalleri on this season's Devils 8x10
Also got Cam on a card
Ton of fans there, nothing surprising for a home opener though. Zidlicky signed but not for everyone and Jagr signed for fewer people. Was really hoping to finally get Jagr. Not sure what's next. Unfortunately Sharks are playing the Rangers today, I'd be graphing at this moment but I just didn't feel like going. Kinda rather watch the football today. Wish the Sharks came a little later in the season instead. Devils host Stars Friday. Thanks for reading.

Still have yet to do some basketball. Saturday afternoon I went to a signing at a Sports Authority for a Jet I've never gotten before. Line wasn't bad and was organized well. Was advertised as one-per and no posed pics but wasn't enforced.
Muhammad Wilkerson 8x10 and 2013 team item
He was cool. Tomorrow I might do the Wild and Friday maybe the Jazz. Thanks for reading.

Today I did the Avalanche, got some good stuff.
Ryan O'Reilly 2/2
Duchene 1/2
Landeskog 8x10
Patrick Roy 8x10
Cody McLeod 2/2
MacKinnon 8x10
Not a big quantity day but best day I had graphing in a while. About 20 people there. The big guys really signed for everyone, except for MacKinnon. Wasn't able to get Briere, Varlamov or Iginla. Couple others I may not have been aware of. Pretty nice I now have autographs of Brodeur and Roy. After graphing Colorado I thought about checking out the Jazz. They have a game tomorrow and arrived sometime today but didn't end up going over to check them out. Thanks for reading.

Hey guys, graphed after the Devils/Senators game last night. Nothing to get excited for.
Clarke MacArthur 2/2
Milan Michalek 2/2
Kyle Turris 1/1
Devils:
Cory Schneider & Stephen Gionta on this season's team 8x10
Unfortunately Karlsson & Legwand didn't sign. Wasn't able to get Patrick Wiercioch & Bobby Ryan. Not sure what's next. Devils have some games within the next week. As for basketball, we'll have to see. Thanks for reading.

Finally got around to some basketball. Grizzlies are playing the Nets. Could've done better but still fine.
Asst coach Shawn Respert 1/1
Mike Conley 8x10
Kosta Koufos 2/2
Marc Gasol 1/2
Broadcaster Brevin Knight 2/2
Beno Udrih 2/2 (I smeared them, oops)
Apparently they have a team security guard that's a little strict, escorted some of the players, keeping them away from us. First time I wasn't able to get Jeff Green. Also couldn't get Courtney Lee and VC, Tony Allen, Leuer & Randolph didn't sign. Only 6 of us. Gasol only did one of my 8x10s sadly. Thank God the better guys were more willing to sign. Up next, I might do Pelicans on Monday. Thanks for reading.

John Salmons 1/2

There were about 20 people there. Davis only signs in black now. Ughh wish he signed mine harder. Might've missed Pondexter and Southerland. Tyreke was the only one to really refuse to sign. Chance I do the Magic Friday and many teams in next week so we'll see what I go after. Thanks for reading.

Broadcaster Michael Cage 2/2
Close to 20 people in total. Security didn't help. Jeremy Lamb, Reggie Jackson, Coach Brooks, Durant, Perkins, Collison, Westbrook and Ibaka wouldn't sign along with couple of the younger ones. Just don't like how Bryant & Cage signed sideways. Up next, maybe some hockey. Thanks for reading.
