"Charles Mann signing"

Wow, we must be really getting desperate to "sign" a DE! :-) And I must be really desperate to find something to do here at work...

lol... I know what you mean about work.... but man... could you picture if Gibbs could get a Butz, Coleman, Mann & Manley set up again? Throw in a Wilbur Marshall for good measure???

FYI, I make drawings for each of these autograph appearances if I like the player enough and have been getting them signed. I'm going to do the same for Mann. If anyone wants some prints that they can get signed (in this case I'll just mail the prints in with the original since its mail order only) PM me and I can figure out what it'll cost to print and send them. Here is Mitchell and Cooley, the Cooley took about 3 times as long to do so I'll be doing color from now on. These are both signed now but I havent uploaded those pictures yet.

Well I tried to post pictures but it won't let me since I don't have 10 posts, maybe someone else could post them if they want?

Those are cool.... you should try to sell them at the signings.

[porculator]

They're expensive to print though, so I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of ones I don't want. Also the businesses probably wouldn't like me taking business away from them with my unlicensed drawings

By the way, I'll have them for Theissman and Brown too when they sign at PSGG

[Redskin Rich]

Thanks by the way, I got the email today on Joe T & Larry... totally forgot to start that thread.

Maybe you should call the different stores.... they may be willing to sell them on consignment, or purchase wholesale from you.

Actually, I heard we just signed Coy Bacon to a minimum contract.

Again, I don't really want to get into the business of selling unlicensed NFL stuff. Daniel Snyder would crush me like an ant if he found out anyone was making money off of his team other than him.

Its just a hobby of mine, I'm definitely not trying to make a lot of money off of it.

I'll post the Mann drawing here when I'm done with it

Well, you would be surprised at how much unlicensed stuff they have at these events. Most of the guys will sign it. When Riggo does an event, they always advertise specifically he won't sign original art work, but then he signs unlicensed jerseys, so that makes no sense to me... especially with what he gets at these events

I totally forgot... did you get the Mann done?

[porculator]

Yep I did, the unsigned scan is here (the color is a little off) sorry I couldn't post it up beforehand to see if anyone wanted one, I finished it a little late

s57.photobucket.com/albums/g214/porculator/Redskins%20Drawings/?action=view&current=mannsmall.jpg

I mailed it down to get signed and got the package slip for it coming back yesterday so I'll pick it up when I get the chance. Card Cellar is great about that kind of thing by the way.

I've got a Darrell Green going too that I'm going to send to him to get signed (you can send him stuff through darrellgreen.com to sign, kind of expensive but worth it compared to Riggins etc. since its less and goes to his foundation.) When I get that and the Mann framed I'll take a pic of all four. If I have time this week I might do Bobby Mitchell too at the CSA show.

Cool print... ya know... I totally forgot to start the thread about the Chantilly show... I will go do that now... thanks for the reminder.
