Not yet, but the day is coming soon. I want to hand deliver it to Goldin auctions and I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. They keep telling me to send it overnight via FedEx but I’m not going trust a shipping service with something this expensive.

Yeah, I do not blame you one bit, I would hand deliver in person also

Wait Okoye actually got you an autograph? Still waiting on mine.

I mailed him a card when I was 12 and got it back signed.....Everyone I sent to returned except Nick Lowery.

I have a couple, but have never paid much for them. They're mostly just something that sits around and waits for someone to notice. I have a ball with the '85 signatures on it. I doubt it's even worth anything, but it has a smudge in one that gives it some character. At least you know the players actually held the ball. The sticker signatures being stuck on most of the cards today are just dumb.

I refuse to pay for the current PMII penis scribble. If I was to ever collect something of his it'd have to be one of his older original signatures.

I have no idea, however, I do have some autographed Chiefs items i'd be motivated to part with if someone here is interested.

Football signed by the entire(?) 1991 team. Maybe 92? I dunno, but Mark Vlasic signed it.
Will Shields Jersey
A Chiefs hat signed by some rando players I got in 96 or 97 at River Falls (would have to research)

DM me if interested. Would prefer to keep it local/KC Area.

I've never been a big autograph guy but one time I got Kotlen Wong to sign my hat outside of Wrigley Field. Then I felt like a prick because I completely mogged all the little kids trying to get autographs.

So, interesting post. My answer to that is simple, THESE are OUR HEROES! I have these sigs from our beloved CHIEFS:

Jan Stenerud
Joe Montana
Patrick Mahomes
Derrick Thomas
Christian Okoye
Travis Kelce
Will Shields
Eric Berry
Tyreek Hill
Derrick Johnson
Len Dawson
Priest Holmes
Neil Smith
Eddie Kennison

It fills the man cave with history and life as a CHIEFS fan :thumb:

Ok, I will delve further.

When Patrick Mahomes II was drafted in 2017 I immediately bought his JSA signed mini helmet, I knew he was different. After we bought our home in 2016 I got a kick back check for $400. I was in conversation with a guy on ebay regarding a circa 96, 97 signed mini helmet by Derrick Thomas. In the background was a football life Derrick Thomas - the ebay guy accepted my offer and it is in the man cave to this day. My point is, when you get a chance at owning a piece of CHIEFSTORY, you get it! :thumb: As a long time Chiefs fan, it is incredible to have these pieces of history. I have an incredible Andy Reid SB 54 signed helmet as well as an actual SB54 ticket. To each his own but, own history when it presents itself :thumb:
