CHRIS JERICHO!~ - Unexpected, but Happy Success!!!

[Mjr Frank Burns]

Wow - What a day for me!~ I went out to Barnes and Noble today and was just hanging out with the family - I said "Let's go in there first. I want to see if they have Ozzy's book in".... Well, as I first walked in, there was a table in the middle of the floor with a sign that said "Books under $10.00" - So I thought, "Eh, may as well peek." - To my surprise, I saw Chris Jericho's book "Around the World in Spandex" right there on that very table. It had a sticker on the bottom right corner saying Original Price $25.99 - Reduced to $5.98. I was like - HELL YEA ... I'll buy it for 6 bucks... But then what REALLY shocked me was the other sticker in the right top corner - It read "AUTOGRAPHED BY AUTHOR" - My eyes became as big as hubcaps. I opened the book, and low and behold - BAM! Signed by Chris Jericho!!! It reads his autograph, Y2J and the date , which was 11-10-07. Just cannot believe it - I went to the counter to ask them about it and she told me that sometimes they have signings and ask for a few copies signed, or the author just does it for whatever reason, etc .. I showed her the book and she was like - "COOL, Good for you:-)" This just really made my day. First, paying only 6 dollars for a hard cover book that costs 26 dollars 3 years ago, and then discovering it was signed... Unreal - Good day for me... Here are the pics, and comments of course are welcomed.

Amazing success!!! He's one of my most wanted, and I've never seen a ttm from him. Quality pickup!

Thanks AXL - Yea, I was gonna write to him and try, but saw that it was a bad move as nobody was getting successes... And out of nowhere ... Wow- how weird life can be sometimes.

That is truly just an awesome find, bro! Honest to God that is great. I collect old sports books myself and once bought a Bobby Orr book entitled "Orr on Ice" for .25 cents at a yard sale and when I got to the car I noticed it was autographed on the second page and I was just completely STOKED about that one so I can imagine how good you felt here, dude. lol.. Congrats!

The same happened to me when I found Jose Canseco's book. Even though it wasn't a low price as your Jericko book it really made my day to finally get a Canseco autograph.

Nice find. Book stores are good places to find some good autographs

I asked as well, if they have a section of autographed books for sale and she said sometimes they do - BUT, it is kinda rare for that to happen so I was consdiered lucky - Hogan's book was right there on the table as well, same price, but none autographed - LOL - Thanks for the comments.
