MMA Collectors

[phyteguru]

Make sure you have your cards prepped. Some cards won't accept marker right on the top.

David (deeakay) is one of the greatest MMA card collectors out there. He taught me a pretty good method of rubbing a little baby powder into the cards before having anyone sign them.

Look up Neil Bannon on Twitter (https://twitter.com/mmaautowarrior) He's another great card collector and will likely attend the event. He usually goes Wednesdays/Thursdays before an event just like you. He's a really nice guy and will be willing to help.

Cheers.

MOJO in the Mail!

Wednesday, April 22 brought

Fighter Event Worn gift from

Robbie "Problems" Peralta

He got "Guida'd" at UFC FN63 but he's a great fighter & a better person!
Guida had 6 huge takedowns that allowed him to control all 3 rounds & had 1 SUB attempt.
Total strikes & Significant Strikes were equal but yeah he was def "Guida'd" in this fight.
Robbie sent me his right hand wrap from the April 4th fight & even added the blue tape from his glove.
This the 1st wrap I have in m collection that has the "UFC" logo'd wrapping & I'm stoked to finally have some of the tape.
You can see Robbie took care in what he sent, how he sent it, & when signing it.
Also included a cool THANK YOU note in return.
How about that Guida BLOOD on the wraps!

I got a few good ones back today. Sent them out at the same time. Took about 1 month to get back! Cowboy and Big Country!

This has been a good few weeks for returns. I got Fabricio Werdum back. Only took 22 days! (c/o his gym in Venice Cali). I sent him some colored pictures that I printed off from online. He signed those AND sent me back this (pictured below) photo. I didn't ask for it or anything! Super awesome guy! The funny thing is that it isn't really a promo pic, it is an actual photo developed and printed (maybe that's how he does his promo pics).

Also...Awhile back I contacted Mark Schultz via his website. I got an address from someone on this forum, but it was older and I wanted to verify it. I got an email response back that said, "sure, $30 with SE stamped envelope to 4816 Dark Hollow Rd. Medford, OR 97501". I'm not sure if I am going to go through with it but I figured I'd put it on here in case anyone was interested.

After sitting around for a few weeks I finally added the collage to a black background & put it in a frame.
Michael's had a great 67% OFF sale so I picked up (3) 27x40 poster frames.

98 landscape signed UFC Topps (NO duplicates)
I like this vertical layout better than my previous horizontal layouts of 90 landscape cards; I can fit more cards in the collage & it takes up less wall space!

Looks great sir.
Love those card collages.
