As mentioned in my last post (which amazingly enough was only a few days ago) things are starting to get busy again. I am in the middle of a little mini run where there have been autograph signings practically every day. Yesterday I did a small private signing with The Captain, Mark Messier. We generally do signings every summer with Mark over at the Rangers practice facility. Mess does an annual kids camp over in Greenburgh and the building is always accommodating to our needs. The great thing about yesterday’s signing was that it gave me an opportunity to start a few of the projects for September’s hockey autograph show. Mark was the first to sign several Rangers Core Four pieces (to be followed by Graves, Richter and Leetch.) We are revisiting some old staples like the 1994 All-Star Game photo and beginning some new multi-signed pieces that are to sure to be classics. As a company we are beyond excited about the Hockey Great Show on September 25th. Besides the Rangers greats we are boasting a lineup including the immortal Gordie Howe and legendary players like Mario Lemieux. There will undoubtably be additions to this already stellar lineup so stay tuned for much more on this event as the weeks go on.
Speaking of legends- tomorrow we have the great Yogi Berra signing at Last Licks Armonk from 12:00-1:30. This is Berra’s first signing in awhile as he unfortunately had to miss his yearly trip to Cooperstown. I have said on so many occasions that Yogi is one of my favorites to work with. He is as gracious as anyone with his fans and is a true professional in every way. Not only is Berra a must-have autograph for any collector he is a pretty much a must-meet celebrity for any fan. Hope to see you there!
Next week should be quite busy as the Yankees come home Monday. Aside from Thursday’s Arod public at Roosevelt Field Mall (which is selling at a record pace) there are sure to be several more Yankee signings throughout the week. As always keep checking back to this forum, the upcoming signings page and my twitter account for the latest on all things signings.
Have a great weekend! Peace
