Sports Illustrated?

I had my birthday yesterday, and I'm proud to add these two to my collection:

I went with my girlfriend last night to downtown Nashville, saw Chuck Foreman was going to be there signing. I just happened to purchase his cover 2-3 months ago off eBay in hopes I'd maybe visit Minnesota someday and see him there. For some reason, he came to Nashville to a couple of restaurants in a rally for the Vikings, who were playing the Titans today, and won.

I didn't realize until yesterday how poor condition the SI I ordered was. I tried tending to some bends/tears and a slight tear happened when trying to put the SI back in the toploader, paid $20 for the autograph.

I've got mixed feelings, because I don't like the condition, obviously, but I do like the autograph, and I do like the cover. I'm happy overall about it, though.

This is from last month, and I have the greatest mother in the world - who, among other things, is kind enough to help me with my SI collection in getting these signed for me at the Chicago Sports Spectacular.

Not pictured is my Bernard King May 7, 1984 issue, personalized to me.

I think I can say that I had a nice Christmas. James Worthy was at the November show in Chicago but opted against getting him there since he pricier and is also younger than some of the people whom I got.

I think my favorite out of these five is either Gary Carter or Ken Norton, was fortunate to receive Norton's 1978 cover as a gift last Christmas. Pernell Whitaker came from Leader in Sports. Pretty much all of these came with COAs in addition to their stickers.

I've got a signing my girlfriend and I are going to later this month and will post my adds from that one. I've also reached out to some other Net54 members in offer to get something done for them that show. One of them might take me up on it, but pricing isn't up yet.

I hope you all had a nice holiday, and you all have a safe and Happy New Year.

Very nice, especially the Carter and Norton covers. I had gotten SweetPea at a local appearance (not a signing) years ago, and just got 'Sweetpea' scrawled across the cover; yours is a much better signature.

Oh, nice. Which local appearance was this?

I believe it was at a Boy's Club in Newport News, VA. I couldn't make it, but my dad was able to take it and get his signature. I'll try to dig it up and get a photo.
