All of my certified autographs from the respective card companies

Cards I got signed by meeting the driver or sending a SASE to the driver

This is a list of all the cards I have in which the players have signed the cards personally. I either met the player in person or mailed the cards to the player. Forgive my poor cropping efforts. It does not reflect the quality of the cards.

I will try to provide captions for most of the cards to give a backstory as to how I got the cards signed.

This list is for all my autographed baseball cards.

Players included: Joe Carter, Juan Guzman, Paul Molitor, Dave Stewart, Duane Ward, Eddie Zosky.

The 1985 Kansas City Royals had a regular season record of 91-71 and came back from 3-1 deficits (in games) against both the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS and St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series -- the only team to ever have accomplished that feat.

This is a collection of autographs obtained from members of the world champions who played in the 1985 World Series and had a Topps card from that year showing them as a Royal. In total, there are 21 possible players if you include Topps Traded.

The early to mid-2000s is the most nostalgic era in basketball for me. Even though I grew up in New England, I was and still am a diehard Lakers fan. Especially given the current state of the team, I can't help but relish in the memories of the Shaq-Kobe dynasty. Over the years the Celtics did rub off on me and I have a bit of an identity crisis in cheering for both. Anyways, it was also an exciting era for the Cs with the Pierce-Walker duo (the shimmy!!). A shame they didn't make the Finals for a Lakers-Celtics matchup. Regardless, it was a great period for both of my teams.

There are so many other memorable events from this timeframe too. Future Hall of Famers' were near retirement and finding themselves on oddball teams - most notably Michael Jordan on the Wizards - but also Patrick Ewing on the Sonics/Magic and Hakeem Olajuwon on the Raptors. Vince Carter had an insane dunk contest performance in 2000. Yao Ming entered the league in '02 and aided internationalization of the sport. Oh, and I suppose there was a good rookie class in '03.

For all of these reasons and more a lot of my PC is focused on this era. It also happened to coincide with a great time in the hobby. There was a plethora of sets coming from multiple manufacturers, i.e., Fleer, Topps, and Upper Deck (the good 'ole days). While higher value sets like Topps Chrome and SP Authentic arguably garner the most attention, there are so many others that are appealing. So here is my list of exactly that - the top ten underrated early/mid '00s basketball sets (ranked in order). Note that TCDB requires you to pick a single card for a list, so I have selected the first card of each set for simplicity sake.

Honorable mention:

1999-00 Upper Deck HoloGrFX
2001-02 Fleer Maximum
2003-04 Fleer Platinum
2002-03 Hoops Stars
2005-06 Topps Big Game

Key players on the 2021 Cincinnati Bengals AFC North Division Championship Team. This is my favorite football team from any single year. They lost in the Super Bowl to the Los Angeles Rams.

After the 2018 season, the Bengals moved on from head coach Marvin Lewis who had been the coach in Cincinnati for 16 seasons. Before the 2019 season, the Bengals hired Zac Taylor as the new head coach. After the 2019 season, the Bengals moved on from quarterback Andy Dalton who had been the starter in Cincinnati for nine years and selected Joe Burrow with the first pick in the 2020 draft. The Bengals also moved on from other key players from the Marvin Lewis era: A.J. Green, Geno Atkins, Vontaze Burfict, Tyler Eifert, Carlos Dunlap, and Giovanni Bernard all within the first two seasons of Zac Taylor's tenure in Cincinnati and replaced them with a new young crop of players, Burrow, Tee Higgins, Jamar Chase, Sam Hubbard, and Jesse Bates III, clearly marking a change in direction of the franchise.

Key players on the 2015 Cincinnati Bengals AFC North Division Championship Team. They lost to the AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the playoffs.

One of the best sets for showing lots of dirt. I made another list of cards from this set showing lots of grass, check that out too. I also love cards with lots of blue sky, but ironically this is one of the worst sets for that.
