I'm sure we have a few, or at least I'd hope so. I've been a collector since I was a kid, pretty much ever sport but have been starting doing indoor soccer on a serious basis recently. I got a bunch of cards and a pennant signed at the 2002 All-Star Game (hoping the pennant is still at my dad's place with a lot of my stuff), some at a Sidekicks game last year, and a few through the mail. Anyways, I'm starting on a project to try to get every card from the 1987-88 through 1991-92 Pacific MISL sets signed. Mostly via mail but also at any in-person events whenever I can do so (pretty rare). I started a blog on it as well (it's linked in my signature) and will post here anytime I update with my successes and failures in this quest. So, how many other 'graphers do we have here? Anyone else do it via mail? What are your experiences? Who are the best (and worst) signers you've come across?

Got my first two back! Michael King signed 5 cards for me, and Wes McLeod signed 6. King also wrote a short note back. I also got a dreaded yellow "Return To Sender, Not Deliverable As Addressed" sticker on Victor Moreland. Fortunately I found another address to try him at.
Today I got... George Fernandez, 6 cards and a short note Zoltan Toth, 6 cards and a full letter Fernando Clavijo, 6 cards Frankly I am amazed at the quick and great responses so far from everyone. I always said that hockey players are the best autograph signers but indoor soccer players have surpassed them by a mile.
Kevin Crow and Branko Segota both arrived yesterday-- 7 cards from Segota and 6 from Crow. That's 42 signed cards now since starting this project in earnest, and 91 total toward it.
I was in a hotel lobby talking to someone. This was years and years ago three female singers were signing autographs. They were signing guys chest on everything. They see me and one of them asked me if I wanted their autograph? I said yes sign a blank check for me. I was with a celebrity friend and Liza Manelli we go to her apartment for drinks. I did not talk a lot back then. For some reason she really liked my friend. She was grabbing his dick. Then she asked me if I wanted her autograph I said yeah sure sign this and I pulled out my dick for her to sign. I thought she was a whore oh she was married at the time. My friend was Joe Pesce
Hey I have a couple of things Roberto Donodoni signed. Is that worth more then a Chinapoo. I few from Dr. Bilardo.
