As you all know from my tweets this has been a relatively quiet signing week.  Having said that.. we are running some amazing web specials through this upcoming holiday weekend so be sure to peruse this site for awesome deals. I am even offering  greater discounts on twitter.  Lastly be on the lookout for some new blog posts early next week and even a few contests.

May 18th

As I have been mentioning lately it is getting harder and harder to write this blog. We have the twitter thing going full force so it's way too repetitive to talk about the signings (as I have been doing that in real time for the past few months). Those of you who are following me there know of my first sampling of Eclectic Method, my misadventures Saturday in the swamps of Jersey and Taco Monday with Joba and Larsen. I didn't quite understand that format when it was first introduced to me but it is definitely starting to work. Anyway, having said that, this blog still gives me a great forum to talk about some upcoming events and some cool projects that I am in the middle of. One of our best sellers since the last game at #YankeeStadium has been the Perfect Game Battery Mates 16x20 photo. I have been hard at work completing another batch of these (as we have had Girardi, Cone, Wells, Berra and Larsen recently). Jorge Posada will be signing soon to complete this unbelievable piece. Also, with a Posada signing on the horizon combined with today’s Andy Pettite signing, we are putting together amazing Core Four items. The Jeter/Posada/Pettite/Rivera tangent has been our best seller since the Yankees won it all last year and seems like it will be strong for quite some time. Over and above the autographed items we are now also offering coasters and dirt pieces from every single Major League Baseball team. This is definitely one of the coolest initiatives we have had in quite some time (so definitely check out that page on this very site). Lastly we have been building up (and will continue to in the next few weeks) a tremendous line of inscriptions gifts- Happy Fathers Day, Congratulations and Mazel Tov inscription balls and photos.

So , #havingsaidthat, be sure to check out the rest of the site for some of these great collectibles and make sure to be following me on TWITTER for all the real-time signings updates (plus some great contests). I will be coming back at you in the next day or so with a preview of the next month of appearances.

Here are a few photos from the past few weeks of signings:

May 5th

Hello Internet,
So it has been forever since my last post. As you all know from my twitter updates the last two weeks have been a complete whirlwind. I have done twenty plus signings in the past seven days and have just completed a small one with Yankees manager Joe Girardi. Over and above that I jammed my thumb to the point of a full on blood clot infection (all in the line of duty), attended an incredible event honoring Brandon and Mara Steiner's work with Family Services of Westchester and even hit up a few shows....("strange days indeed"-Lennon). Even with the abundance of activity I still have had time to write this blog. The problem is/was - what to write about. Having said that- I have been thinking a lot lately about how my industry truly is like no other. It is so abstract and so dependent on factors beyond our control...that's what makes it so exciting. I started putting real thought into that last week when the Mets/Dodgers game was rained out. We were slated to have a private signing with Mets rookie Ike Davis the following day but, due to the rainout, a doubleheader was scheduled...thus the signing was rescheduled for this week. You can't control the weather- there have been countless times I have been scheduled to fly somewhere for a time sensitive signing and have gotten snowed in and grounded in NY or elsewhere. Then there was Saturday when Francisco Cervelli appeared at Last Licks Rye. Just as is the case with any signing after a game there is no exact time or science to the start time. The game ends and within ninety minutes the player appears. We have no control over weather, wins/losses, injuries and trades. People get traded and their items become irrelevant or they end up signing with a contender and that baseball becomes the hottest piece out there. The unpredictability and hot market aspect of this business brings an energy to our days that is unrivaled anywhere. I am typing this at well after midnight while waiting for an MLB authenticator to finish up tagging the product we just witnessed Joe Girardi sign. Why are we doing this in the early hours of this Tuesday morning? Because the game ended when it ended. If it ended up being a rain out Joe would have signed earlier and I’d be asleep but then again if it got rained out and there was a doubleheader tomorrow then my Phil Hughes signing would have to be postponed. - all factors beyond my control.. And I wouldn't have it any other way.


Keep following me on Twitter , Im posting there #onthereg
