  1. Awesome for Cris! I hope Andre Reed follows soon. That looks like a lot of fun for the Grand Prize winner.

    Where did the jumbo autographs in the bottom of the case come from?

  2. I went to the HOF for the first time in 2004 when my favorite player Barry Sanders got inducted. It was truly one of the most memorable trips of my life. The atmosphere there is like no other for a football fan. I was also able to shake Barry’s hand so that was a great moment. Some of my favorite collectibles are from that trip and I am always drawn to any cards that are HOF related! Thanks for posting pics!

  3. Was at your Guy’s booth yesterday. You guy’s had some really good give aways, cards, 8×10’s, and I love your Tribute to the HAll of Fame Classes card sets.

  4. I was there and had a few long convos with Chris. The guys there were awesome! Chris, I will e-mail you once I get the 995 photos I took this weekend edited with the info we talked about. Thanks for the hook up!
