This is an ambitious collecting project
 
Interesting reading about this amount of determination, not certain I would have the energy for this type of collecting project.

Story of a guy who has collected signed sports illustrated issues that he only gets in person.

I also just saw they found the girl he was looking for in the article, unfortunately just passed away before he could get the signature.

Yeah I just read that article. That is determination. Probably won't be worth the money he laid out collecting them all with travel expense, etc. But its a good quest. Everyone should have a quest.

He's known as the SI King and has his own website where he sells duplicates. I've been on his mailing list for awhile now and he's worth checking out for some of the tougher signed SI's.

I've known about him for a while, also. He does have quite a lot of determination. I didn't realize he has spent so much money on his quest. No way in the world he gets his even close to his money back.
