Wow, talk about a bit of luck! I picked up a pack of the new TNA Xtreme cards at Target earlier for S's&G's even though I bought the whole set on eBay and every card in the pack was from someone who's active in returning TTM. I pulled the 'Sting Speaks' card on Dixie Carter, Jesse Neal, Pope, Gen Me, and a #'d to 25 parallel of Mickie James. Needless to say, I know who I'll be sending to next week.

Also, got a response from Scott Epstein (Superstar Billy Graham's agent) in regards to purchasing TTM autographs of Superstar. He said that orders for more than 10 autographs will get a discount, and any item personally provided by you will be signed for a $20 fee PER ITEM+return shipping\SASE. All proceeds go to an Organ Donation Awareness charity, and this is a great way to not only get an autograph from one of the true legends of the wrestling business while he is still among us on this planet, but to help out a worthy cause.

Anyone providing an item to be signed can send a money order in the amount listed above along with their item to:
Billy Graham
C/O Scott Epstein
122 E. Penn St.
Long Beach, NY 11561

Nice successes, pack busting and new there, bro! Stinks about you not getting Carlito last night, but that next show sounds great. Awesome that Graham's agent got back with you aswell. I appreciate you sharing that. Let the WWE title projects we talked about begin! lol..

What really sucks about not getting Carlito is I was one of the last few people in the building after the show when he came out after dressing! I was talking to the promoter about getting trained here in the area when Carlito came out and interrupted (a bit rude, but who the hell am I to say anything? lol). I congratulated him on the match and shook his hand rather than asking him to sign any of my stuff! The promoter even asked if I wanted Carlito to sign anything and I told him that I'd get him next time, and the promoter told me to keep in touch and he'd make sure I would get all the guys that come out from now on (turns out he's a collector too so he said he'd help me out). I'll definitely be there, and this gives me a chance to pick up the cards I sent to the Springs, TX address that never came back and get signed next month. I was rooting through some of my binders of cards earlier for the xpac ones and found a damn handful of 20+ cards from over the years so now comes the process of selecting which ones to get signed by him too since the only ones that are a lock are the Syxx-pac base & memorabilia cards from the New Era set.

No kidding on the projects we talked about. I was just gonna send a card or two and the History Of the WWE Championship leaflet, but I can't decide on the cards so I'm sending all 5 from the '91 Wrestling Legends set (including one of him & Bruno signed by Bruno), the DVD Leaflet, and the Greatest Superstars in WWE History magazine. It's for a good cause, and he's always been one of my all-time favorites. Just sucks I haven't been able to make a trip to meet him. I'm really kicking myself about not going to the Terry Funk Roast two-years ago when he made his appearance there.

It is cool that you got meet Carlito atleast. He's one I've never had the chance to meet and always wanted too. And there's nothing like having more time to get more and possibly better stuff lol.. Getting an "IN" with a promoter is always amazing aswell. You got very lucky there. Looking forward to seeing those X-Pac cards and more after the next show.

I told you about my WWE Champs magazine project, but honestly.. I'm not sure if I want to go that route, or make a 16x20 or 11x14 project with a nice shot of the title or something. Either way it's going to be a nice project. I appreciate your work with getting in touch with the agent and such, bro.. and then letting us in on it. Thanks again!

I hate projects. They start off as such a good idea. I have one huge project and so many of the guys i need from 2 years ago have been fired and now it will never be complete. It's VERY annoying.

[DeathBoyTheSick]

With me.. the projects are kind of like a hobby within the hobby. that's why I enjoy them so much. I LOVE the thrill of the hunt aswell. I probably have like 10 projects (atleast) I'm working on right now and I love it. lol..
