27 MAY UPDATE IN POST #21 ( http://www.beckett.com/forums/thread-152...pid2289543)
Hi all, a quick update on some recent pick-ups, including custom cards, in-person autos and through-the-mail autos. Remember that full stories and collection of these cards are on http://folkscards.webs.com
First of all I picked up this Dan Gadzuric game worn shooting shirt for just over 15 bucks. Shipping to Spain actually doubled the cost, but I think it's a fun addition to my collection of Dutch players' stuff.
Of course there's no way telling whether it's authentic, but for the relatively low price I think it was worth the risk.
Last Sunday I got this Jakim Donaldson (former Edinboro college, current CB Canarias player) in-person auto on custom card:
Last Tuesday I got this in-person auto on custom card from Mike Efevberha (former Cal State Northridge, Iowa Energy, current CEZ Nymburk player):
I also met his teammate Demond 'Tweety' Carter (former Baylor, Tulsa 66ers) who turns out to be the leading scorer in US high school basketball history with 7457 points (according to Wiki). He signed this McDonald's card, but unfortunately the ink didn't adhere:
Luckily I had also made a custom card (which he loved) and he signed that one as well.
Our team absolutely demolished theirs 104-55, in a game we had to win to qualify for the next round in the Eurocup, while they were already eliminated. We chatted for about five minutes about how they're doing in Europe (lot of bad luck) and in the Czech league (leading 23-1) and he was really the kindest guy you can imagine.
Funny enough Jiri Welsch (former GSW, DAL, BOS, CLE, MIL) is also on their team. I had a rookie card of his and handed it for signature - turns out it was a different player, which was an awkward moment for the both of us, LOL!
