    Welcome to my site. I have been an autograph collector now for almost 2 years this December. I will post whenever I send something off or get something back. I have always done football TTM. I send most of requests to the team addresses. The few requests I do send to home addresses, I use www.sportscollectors.net. It is well worth it so sign up. My favorite NFL team is the Bengals, my favorite Arena team is the Predators, and my favorite NCAA team is USC. I go to the Bengals Training Camp in Georgetown, Kentucky and get some autos there. You can check out my old site at http://sportsautosttm.tripod.com.Tripod was just to hard to deal with, so I switched to FreeWebs.

    On the home page, I will put this month and last month's successes starting next month. My successes will still be in the "Football Returns" section.

    Feel free to contact me at alexizhot@hotmail.com. I will post addresses I use on this site. If you do not see an address of someone you need, email me and I'll see if I have it. Thanks for visiting my site. Tell your friends about it. Sign the Guestbook. Thanks.

Alex

Go Bengals!

1 failure today. It is actually a somewhat good failure:

Letter back from Chad Johnson's assistant where I sent to Chad at his home address stating that Chad is out of town, and to send this guy a SASE to an address he provided and he'll have Chad sign them. I was also asked to not give this address out so please do not ask.
