Singletary, Mike (3) ‘Samurai Mike’

CARD: Upper Deck Legends 1997 Certified Autograph
ACQUIRED: 2025, Ebay

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

I mean I still need Mike on a few more cards but him appearing at Baylor or anywhere near me for an alumni event is slim to none so I just picked up this certified autograph via the secondary market at a value price. I still would like to get his autograph on 3-4 more cards for set needs and historical purposes.

What’s interesting about this certified autograph is that it is his full autograph. The one I got a few years ago on his Action Packed Rookies & Stars 1992 is his short autograph, while the autograph I have of him on his Action Packed 1989 may well end up being a secretarial.

CARDS: Fleer Update 1990, Pro Set 1989, Fleer 1990
ACQUIRED: TTM 2022, C/o Work
SENT: 5/16 RECEIVED: 12/5 (203 days)

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

NOTES:

Briefly here Robert was the longest wait for 2022, but was quickly superseded within two weeks. He’s a great signer- but makes fans wait upwards of a year to get things back TTM. I got him once at training camp. After that I always wanted to add him on at least his 89 Pro Set.

I mean- technically, Robert is German since he was born in Landstuhl, West Germany, however by the time he was in high school he was living in California.

NOTES:

A few set needs popped up of the Albino Rhino and I figured I’d shoot these out after last getting his autograph a bit over 10 years ago. I remember fondly riding in the car away from Capital Plaza in North Austin, with my Karl Mecklenburg Starting Lineup figurine. Side note- for some reason ‘Albino Rhino’ triggered a massive traffic spike on this website a few years ago.
