My name is Donna and I have discovered a new hobby. I love to collect autographs of my favorite sports stars, celebrities, authors, etc. I have only been collecting for a couple of months and I have been very successful, so I would like to share my successes with others and maybe we can start sharing addresses, etc. I mainly collect TTM (Through the Mail) Autographs but will also post those that I get from other venues as well. Thanks for visiting. This is gonna be fun!

Another NFL Hall of Fame Legend, Mr. Bob Lilly

Bob Lilly (NFL DT HOF)
104 Aster Cir
Georgetown TX 78633-4537
Sent: 06/14/08
Item Sent: Letter, SASE, 2 printed homemade cards with photos
Received: 06/19/08 (signed 2/2 photo cards & sent price list)**
Returned In: 6 days

I originally started out with 2 separate custom made photos that Mr.
Lilly was nice enough to autograph both of and return to me. Unfortunately, it was raining the day that they arrived and my mailman didn’t do a good job of closing my mail box. The manila envelope with the pics in it was wet on the edges causing the paper edges to stain. I tried using a blow dryer and all but it ended up curling and turning yellow. So, I came up with the idea below and I made a scrapbook page highlighting the 2 autographs.



Mr. Lilly fortunately autographed these for free but he sent the following price list for future attempts.


I think I’m going to have to pay the $35 for a football signed by this legendary greatness. Well worth that price.
