Coach Belichick

Bill Belichick has led the Patriots to six Super Bowl Championships.  He is perhaps the greatest coach of all-time.  He apparently (understandably) does not sign his Rookie Card from 1991 with the Browns, but he sent this photo and letter instead, which is even better.  Thanks, Coach Belichick!

Rick Manning

Rick Manning hit .257 and won a Gold Glove during his 13 MLB seasons.  Thanks, Rick!

Ferguson Jenkins

Ferguson Jenkins won 284 games during his 19-year Hall of Fame MLB career.  He struck out 3,192 batters and had a 3.34 ERA.  He won a Cy Young, made three All-Star teams, and won at least 20 games seven times.  I paid $20 for him to sign his 1966 Topps Rookie Card, and he was nice enough to thrown in an awesome extra, but he's raised his rates now going forward (see photo).  Thanks, Fergie!

Jay Thomas Kelly

I had Tom Kelly sign a few more cards for my collection.  He was a legendary Manager.  Thanks, Tom!
