On August 9th, Evan's Sports Cards and Collectibles (one of my LCS) held an autograph signing for former Philadelphia Phillies player Ricky Jordan. The signing was great, Evan's had ROMLBs to sign and even had some of Ricky's cards to purchase. They were offering a free autograph with any item purchased, so I bought the ROMLB and two of his rookie cards (1988 Score Traded & 1988 Fleer Update - $1 each) and got three autographs for under $20! Can't beat that deal!
When I got to meet Mr. Jordan, he couldn't have been nicer. He signed the baseball first with the inscription of his number and "Phillies". Pretty cool. When he signed the cards, he was excited to see the 1988 Fleer Update. He said that it was the first card he was ever on, and how he asked them for a bunch of copies and carried one around in his wallet. I thought it was cool to see the excitement he had when he saw the card, probably brought him back to the first time he saw it. It was great to see the impact that a simple baseball card to make on a person.
Anyways, if you're ever in Voorhees, NJ stop in to Evan's Sports Cards and Collectibles. He's got great memorabilia, good singles, supplies and even a few dime boxes to look through! Introduce yourself to Evan too, he's a nice guy and a great shop owner!
