Or do the opposite, actually leave magazines at doctor and dentist offices!

I had about eight signed sporadically throughout the years, then out of nowhere last summer, I decided I wanted to start collecting and really going for Sports Illustrateds. I buy one every month and mail them out to get signed, and now I'm hooked and it's become the main focus of my collecting at the moment. Today was the first time in I don't know how long that I sent out a 1987 Topps request.
Here's what I have. #1 John Huarte, November 2, 1964 #2 Ron Swoboda, May 6, 1968 #3 Donny Anderson, December 16, 1968 #4 Duane Thomas, August 27, 1973 #5 Lee Trevino, August 19, 1974 #6 John Newcombe, August 26, 1974 #7 Tom Clements, September 30, 1974 #8 Scott May, April 5, 1976 #9 Steve Cauthen, March 7, 1977 #10 George McGinnis, March 21, 1977 #11 Sam Cunningham, November 21, 1977 #12 Jack Nicklaus, Sportsman of the Year, December 25, 1978-January 1, 1979 #13 Vagas Ferguson, September 24, 1979 #14 Jim Craig, March 10, 1980 #15 Paul Westphal, October 20, 1980 #16 Ralph Sampson, December 1, 1980 #17 Bert Jones, May 10, 1982 #18 Gerry Cooney, June 7, 1982 #19 Tom Watson, June 28, 1982 #20 Kent Hrbek, July 5, 1982 #21 Wayne Peace, September 13, 1982 #22 Todd Blackledge, October 4, 1982 #23 Mike Rozier, September 5, 1983 #24 Joe Washington, October 10, 1983 #25 Peter Ueberroth, September 25, 1985 #26 Ray Knight, November 3, 1986 #27 Eric Davis, May 25, 1987 #28 Jon Peters, May 8, 1989 #29 Curtis Strange, June 26, 1989 #30 Craig Erickson, January 8, 1990 #31 Bobby Hebert, October 7, 1991 #32 The 75th Anniversay of the Heisman Trophy, signed by Charles White, Joe Bellino, John David Crow, Johnny Laettner, Gary Beban, George Rogers, Archie Griffin, Ron Dayne, Tim Brown, Jason White, Billy Sims and Steve Owens #33 Jason Grilli, July 22, 2013 #34 Jason Heyward, August 24, 2015 Ray Knight, Eric Davis, the Heisman Trophy winners and the Jason Heyward Sports Illustrateds were all obtained in person by me. The rest are TTM successes. Wayne Peace and Jon Peters corresponded with me directly via email saying they would sign. Someone from John Newcombe's Tennis Ranch in Texas and Tom Watson Enterprises both told me they would sign. Newcome lives in Australia, but comes to Texas on occasion. Watson I wanted to double check to make sure about him, and the person from his website said that he hand signs all items himself. |

Wow, Joe Bellino is still around?
I used to go to his coffee shop. One day he was surrounded by old guys consoling him. I asked the counter person if he was ok, and they told me they'd been held up. He tackled the guy in the doorway, but the thief struggled free and ran off. As I left he was saying " when I tackled someone they used to stay tackled. " Our shop moved, and I didn't know his place was closing. Wish I'd saved a couple donut bags. |

I have about 250 of the issues signed from all sports. Probably the earliest are a 1955 Yogi and a 1956 Stan Musial.
In general, I think the ones from the '60s and early '70s are the nicest for getting signatures. I've really slowed the march in the last couple of years though and have not added many to my collection lately. The last one was a Benito Santiago from one of the recent Chantilly shows.
