Simon’s New and Improved In-Person Autographing World

STORY BEHIND THE NEW LOOK

Well, I figured it was time for a change. My old page was hardly getting any looks, the last time I updated was nearly a year ago, and all of the pages were the same old boring thing. So, I decided to do this. This new site that you see is almost exclusively details of my in-person autographing, with almost all other venues of getting autographs cut out of the picture. Sure, I still do a bit of TTM, I still like emailing the unknown college football coach with a request, I still collect certified autos, and I still get rookie cards; but in-person autographing is by far the most fun thing I do, and I think it’s the most interesting one to read about. Did you know former major leaguer Michael Coleman got pissed off last year at me? Did you know one guy had to stop signing for me because it took him too long to sign his name? Did you know Lastings Milledge signed TWO for me???

So, this new site has only three consistently updated pages. Those pages are the “In-Person Autographing” page (formerly “In-Person Autographs”), the “Game-Used Gear” page (formerly “Game-Used Memorabilia”), and the “Autograph Trade Page” (formerly “All Autographs” and “My Want List”).

The In-Person page will give a summary for each game I go to, along with autograph totals and valuable information on the signing habits of baseball’s hottest prospects. I go to roughly 70 minor (and some major) league games each year, last year getting about 2,000 autographs throughout the season.

The Game-Used page will give a summary of all the cool gear I get at ballparks. This includes baseballs, bats, batting gloves, etc., etc. This year I’m planning on trying to get a lot more game-used stuff.

The Trade Page is going to be the one way you can have access to what’s in my collection via other ways (TTM, certs, email, etc.), as it will have the “All Autograph” list, updated frequently, listing every autograph that I have… but with no further details. To get details of course you can always email me, at the address provided on this site. Also on the Trade Page will be my trading policies and what I’m looking for.

You may ask, why are you doing this? Time. I am heading into high school next year and have already been swamped with homework and other commitments (e.g. my job), which makes me unable to update everything. Since my last update, everything I’ve accumulated has just been piling up in a shoebox in my room, which turned into a 5000-ct baseball card box, which then turned into my whole room. Furthermore, I am still an avid collector, don’t get me wrong, and there are many ways you can contact me. Here are some of my contact ways:

-RedSoxFan1291 on AOL Instant Messenger

-RedSoxFan91 on SASE Sports Sigs Forum

-ggowfan on eBay Auctions

-Many other forums, under RedSoxFan91 and SimonsAutographs

-And, of course, via email (address below).

I will be keeping the skeleton of my old site up, but please not I don’t still have everything listed, as those pages are not being updated at all anymore. There may even be some errors on them… so please, don’t ask about stuff on there. The only three pages I really want to answer questions on anymore are the three active ones.

Anyways, thanks everyone for baring with me for the last year in which this site has turned into a barren wasteland, with only a few occasional guestbook posts, and the site counter slowly going at about one person a week.

Any comments or questions may be emailed to me, and I really appreciate all the support that I’ve gotten through this site.

Your exclusively blue sharpie autograph collector,
