I like to collect autographs, so I thought I'd share some of mine...
I've always been a huge fan of Ralph McQuarrie and all his concept artwork, especially Star Wars and Star Trek. I went to a Star Wars Fan Days convention last year, and one of his partners had a booth with a ton of his work for sale and some of them autographed. Sadly, McQuarrie doesn't attend conventions anymore due to his age and having Parkinson's, so when I saw this concept art, I just had to have it.
Back in '93, my father got us season tickets to the Dallas Stars after they moved here from Minnesota. All I knew about hockey back then was Wayne Gretzky and the Montreal Canadians. After going to that first game, I fell in love with the game, and have been a huge fan ever since. Over the years, my father and I have gone to a lot of practices, events, signings, etc. This cap is signed by the Dallas Stars '93 through '97 teams. I even got Mike Modano on there somewhere.
This is the crown jewel of my collection. A few years ago, when Brett Hull still played for the Dallas Stars, my father and I went to a game. As usually, we got there early so we could get some food and get to our seats to watch warm ups. Well, after a while we noticed a line forming on one of the stair ways and that someone in the press box was signing autographs. I couldn't tell who it was from where I was sitting, and really didn't have anything to autograph but my Stars program. Anyway, I grabbed my program and ran up there, and holy shit, it turned out to be BOBBY HULL! The Golden Jet himself! A true hockey legend! I was so awe struck all I could do was tell him that it was a true honor and privilege to meet one of the all time greats! He must have thought I was crazy. He had the biggest grin and signed my program, shook my hand and gave me wink. I ran down to my father as fast as I could, and he couldn't believe that I met him. Really awesome time!
