New York Giants players Antrel Rolle and Prince Amukamara were signing autographs on the same day at different locations. Luckily, the signings were an hour apart and at nearby locations. Antrel Rolle's signing was the first one of the day. He was signing autographs at the North Bergen Walmart.

Antrel Rolle signed with the Giants in 2010. He's a 3-time Pro Bowl Safety and a member of the New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI (46) championship team. Antrel showed up over 30 minutes late, but lucky for me I was one of the first ones in line. This was another event hosted by Pepsi during Super Bowl week. They had some nice 8x10 photos of Antrel for fans to get signed. He was really cool about signing multiple items.

After Antrel signed my items, I rushed over to Prince Amukamara's signing at the Sports Authority in Secaucus.

Prince Amukamara was drafted out of the University of Nebraska by the New York Giants in the 1st round (19th overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft. He was also a member of the New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI (46) championship team.

When I arrived to Sports Authority the signing already began and there was over fifty people in line. Sports Authority had 5x7 photos of Prince for fans to get signed. The line moved quickly and Prince signed all of my items.

It was successful signing day as I was able to obtain autographs from both Antrel Rolle and Prince Amukamara. Thumbs up to the North Bergen Walmart and Secaucus Sports Authority for hosting these events.

Jim Dray (01/27/14)

Jim Dray, Arizona Cardinals Tight End

Jim Dray was drafted out of Stanford University by the Arizona Cardinals in the 7th round (233rd overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft. During his four years at Stanford, he completed 41 receptions for 455 yards and 7 touchdowns. In his senior year, he was the tight end for first year quarterback, Andrew Luck. Since 2010, Dray has played in 55 games for the Cardinals. He has 33 receptions for 302 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Jim Dray did not have an autograph signing, but my good friend and coworker Erica and her mother know Jim Dray and his family. She knows how much I love collecting sports memorabilia and told me she can try to get me an autograph. This was breaking news to me at work and I was really excited. I was able to prepare two 8x10 photos of Jim Dray and gave it to her to get signed.

I received great news from Erica via text message that Jim Dray was happy to sign my photos! She also sent me a photo of him signing the two photos! Here's a picture of Jim Dray autographing my two 8x10 photos.

A huge thank you to Erica, Mrs. "Dichi," Mrs. Dray, and Jim Dray for the autographed photos. I will forever be a fan of Jim Dray!
