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!

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.

why only do certified autos? there's alot of pretty regular ryan cards that you can get signed.
