Robert Woods Signing Deluxe Signature Collection DSC at South Bay Baseball Cards 6-30-13

After getting Adrian Gonzalez's autograph at Dodger Stadium I headed out to the Robert Woods Signing at South Bay Baseball Cards in Lomita. My buddy Michael from Deluxe Signature Collection aka DSC invited me to the event. Robert was scheduled to sign from 1-3pm at South Bay Baseball Cards today.

I arrived at the store at around 2 and met up with Michael. This was my first time at South Bay Baseball Cards and it was a nice shop compared to other card shops i've been to in the past with a good selection of sports cards and memorabilia. Cards shops near my neighborhood all went extinct during the 90s after the advent of Frank and Sons so it was nice to go to a mom and pop card shop to check out what they had.

As soon as I arrived Robert Woods was being interviewed by Blue Chip Talk.


After finishing up the interview he signed my 11x14 photo for me and was nice enough to inscribe my photo for me as well.








Robert is a good character guy and was nice to the fans today. I hope Robert kicks ass next season for the Buffalo Bills. I wished him good luck next season and that I hope he wins the offensive ROY award next year.

As soon as I got my photo signed DSC was nice enough to do on site authentication for me absolutely free which was a nice touch. They entered the item into their database so I can look up my item on their website and also provided me with a credit card that matches the hologram sticker on my photo.





Deluxe Signature Collection was also holding a raffle at the store giving away signed photos, mini helmets and full size USC helmets. I ended up winning the grand prize which was a full size USC helmet signed by the entire 2012 USC football team which was also authenticated by DSC.







The irony is that I am a UCLA grad so it's funny that I own all these USC items now. I still love how the signatures came out and since I am an autograph collector it was still a nice addition to the collection. I never thought my first signed full sized football helmet would be a USC helmet though. Still I felt really lucky to win the raffle.

I want to thank my friend Michael from DSC for inviting me to the Robert Woods signing. The signing was  well organized and I encourage all of my readers to check out their upcoming signings.

      Thanks Jessie. I wish I could have run into you since I haven't seen you in awhile. Maybe we can meet up at the next signing. I got there kinda late since I was coming from Dodger Stadium getting Adrian Gonzalez. I was stoked when I won the raffle even though it was a USC helmet lol. The entire DSC staff was really cool at the signing.

    I'm not an SC fan but must admit that helmet looks sick!

      I am a UCLA grad so I have the same biased opinion. However it does indeed look sick so I am happy with it. Thanks Martin.

      I usually attend games Carlos to get autographs. I'm pretty much done with free signings since I don't like to wait in line unless there is absolutely nothing to do or if it's a player I desperately need. An example would be last Saturday's Adrian Gonzalez signing at T-Mobile where people camped over 12 hours for an autograph. I'll never do that unless Kobe is doing a free signing. In terms of events you can find out on a day to day basis through some of the other blogs that list free signings and events. Personally I don't post that stuff since it's common knowledge among the graphing community.

    Great Helmet. I actually have stock piled quite a few Robert Woods Rookie Auto cards cause I think he is one of a couple players who might make a splash in the NFL this year.

    I stopped by to mention something I believe to be a big concern for the autograph collecting community.

    I was recently approached by infamous forger John Olson from operation bullpen who sold me some bad autographs. I am trying to spread the word that they are at it with the forgeries again. I am hopeful by spreading the word that no one else will have to loser a dollar to this low life. full details are available here

      Thanks Kevin for the heads up. It's a shame that there are scammers out there in the autographing community. You just gotta be wary of who you are dealing with at any given point. If a deal sounds too good to be true it probably is. I try to stay away from purchasing super high end items like Michael Jordan or Muhammad Ali since those autographs are the most counterfeited since they are in high demand and command the highest prices.
