Did he actually sign for you, or did you have a team of kids working the
event?

Yeah right, and you probably got Gandhi to sign from beyond the grave this
week too huh?

Who are you?

no, he actually signed for me...
i spent a few days at the us open...
see, the thing is, no one actually goes for tiger...everyone just
talks about how tough he is...
but on tuesday, he signed after practicing several holes. wednesday
and thursday, he signed after he was done.

now, i'm not saying that he signed good things...he skipped photos and
golf balls (has NEVER SIGNED golf balls since he went pro)...i can't
truly say what he was going after and what he wasn't. but i wouldn't
doubt to say that he didn't sign like 5-600 items in the days i went
though...but it was mostly programs and flags. i saw someone get a
scorecard from the club signed. i know i tried to get single signed
flags and he blew by those, but the flags that i had other golfers on,
he went right to.
he basically walked and signed too...it's not like he stopped and
signed for the crowd...he just grabbed what he felt like grabbing and
signed. on tuesday, after practicing on the putting green, he did sign
for the crowd.

when i helpd co write the "10 best/worst sports signers" for autograph
collector magazine, the guy who originally wrote the first draft
wanted tiger woods on the top 10..but it's not like he doesn't sign,
it's just that the dealers (most of them anyway) invest in stupid
things to get signed by tiger, see that he won't sign them and get
upset that they wasted their money...
but if you have programs, hats, flags (not all the time though), he
signs...he's not easy, you have to be kind of pushy and you have to
have a thick skin...but he signs those things.

meanwhile, phil mickelson signs everything except golf balls...and if
he notices you working the crowd (like he did me), he'll ask you to
cool it for a while, but after the round entirely, he'll try to take
care of you...and he'll only do one master's flag for you, and he
eyeballs you on that one. but he didn't even care that i busted out 2
16x20's on him in less than 10 minutes (and the 16x20's were the only
reason i went to the open as i printed them like a few years ago and
HATE to waste money if i can avoid it).

have fun, i don't really put my collecting stories on here just
because some stupid lurker will just call me some sort of liar...
but i'm out for autographs everyday...and if you want to read my
autograph collecting stories, i do blog a lot of them on my myspace
page. if you want to read them, here you go:

or, just look me up, my name (url) is http://www.myspace.com/hollywoodstuffsdotcom..

on some sad news, my best friend in high school, and the one who got
me started collecting autographs seriously when we were kids, killed
himself last week, my dad just called me with the news today...so i'm
pretty sad.

have fun,
mike

and i don't have a team of kids mr. black...i've never hired anyone
under the age of 19...but i didn't take the crew with me to the open.
i only took the guy who does rock and roll with me, and he's like 40.
and it was quite last minute...and in total, i have 5 tiger woods
autographs...3 on flags (with other people) 1 program from the event
and one espn magazine that he actually personalized...
maybe i'll stick a scan of this stuff on my myspage page.

Sorry about your friend mike; I know it's a rough thing to
contemplate. I only knew one person who killed themselves and I
remember it clearly to this day...

I had bad news too. My brother in law is dying. He's in the hospital
now and his liver, kindeys and brain are shutting down. He's got some
brain damage too and they say they doubt he'll make it. Sad for my
hubby as it's the third brother he's lost (one was only 21, another 35
and this one 42; leaving him only one brother and one sister left).
Glad I married the healthy one who doesn't ride motorcycles (the other
two died in motorcycle crashes). So it's rough.

All that aside, I hope every dad on here had a nice father's day (hey
my hubby won a recliner today!).

I know; all these newbies coming out here for attacks... obviously
trolls or former problems using new ID's.

The funny part is that the "new" people aren't even coming up with
original jabs any more. Just more of the same BS. They've actually
become boring with their comments.
