NOTES:
Chipping away here at my set needs for Greg Bell, I’d still try to nab him on a few more cards if he popped up for a paid signing. Since I was able to get him on both of these cards at a real nice price via eBay, I jumped at it since he doesn’t sign through the mail often- if at all.

NOTES:
Some of these guys are getting impossible to get, so I’ve had to rely more and more on my ability to identify authentic and fake autographs through eBay. -I absolutely hate it.
I had forgotten that I had acquired Lee from a private acquisition sometime way, way back in 2014. I disliked the Upper Deck 1993 so much that I delayed posting it and had forgotten I’d already written up a snapshot of Lee in 2016.
Chipping away the Fleer 90 and Pro Set 89 were two I were after. Strangely I don’t remember seeing these two cards in the wild. It’d be years later I’d get a Fleer 90 box for like 10 bucks. Smelled like cigars, but hey, I knew what his card looked like. Still have the Action Packed, Gameday 92, and I think a Score Supplemental floating around out there to get autographed though.

NOTES:
I like Christian so much as a person after meeting him back in 2011. He made such a positive impression back then. I had really wanted to get his autograph again on a few cards- well a lot of cards.
After sporadically signing back in 2019, I sent one out, only to wait 2770 days for him to return it asking for a charitable donation to the Christian Okoye Foundation. I was sort of conflicted about the wait- but I’d guess he was buried under fan mail for all those years, so I am thankful he returned them. So I packed them up with the fee with a few additional cards and sent these back out.
That leaves me with a few odds and ends to complete out my collection with him. I also invited him to town and told him to look me up so I could treat him to real BBQ or breakfast tacos.
