yeah, the nice look and consistency of his auto is definitely one of the things that attracted me to collecting these. I always liked him growing up and the fact that he ended up being one of the greatest pitchers of all time certainly helps too!

Travis,

i collect mainly Ryan too....I love sending cards to his foundation to have him sign...I don't particularly care for the sticker auto's on the newer cards.

I have 34 auto'd baseballs, 2 auto'd bats (1 for each HR he hit) and I have 3 copies of all his topps issues signed...

Tons of mags, books, posters, pics, jerseys...there is so much out there and he is such a prolific signer

Enjoy your collecting!

yeah he does sign a lot, but there is a huge demand for his stuff so it holds value well unlike some other guys who sign a ton and don't have as much of a following. i love his signature too, its really clean and very consistent!

got two new ones in over the past few days including a really nice triple auto

5/10


3/9

I have a large advertising sign from Nolan's days with the Astros. I would love to get it signed and have considered sending it to his foundation. What has been your experience in submitting items there? What is the typical turn around time to be expected?

Hi Mike,

I have had nothing but great experiences dealing with his foundation over the years. On the rare occasion there is a question they have called me to ask for clarification.

The turn around time has gotten longer since he took over as the Rangers' President, but 12-16 weeks seems to be the norm on personal items.

My experience as well...well run operation.
