Autographs : Sports, Music and Entertainment

I've a few autographed CDs:

Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde
Alcest - Le Secret
The Drowning - Withered EP (actually I think I got a note with the EP? Can't recall)
Musk Ox - Demos (2006-2008) (limited to 25 hand-made copies with hand-drawn cover-art)
My Silent Wake / The Drowning - Black Lights & Silent Roads
My Silent Wake - Acoustic Collection
Orphaned Land - The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR
Parakletos - Offerlammets Makt
Unexpect - Fables Of The Sleepless Empire
Visionaire - Within The Arcanum Hall

And once the guy from Kauan releases it, I'll have a "private release" album especially made for me. I think ~60 other folks did the same thing and took him up on his offer to order a private release.

Sweet - I have 2 of those as well!

Oh? Which ones? I'll guess the Parakletos and Visionaire, since I think the respective bands signed all of the copies (or at least the first X amount).

One of the 2 - Bingo. Actually Kobi from Orphaned Land is a friend, we have spoke many times when the band comes over from Israel.

Nice! Which one did I get right haha? OL is awesome. I did the pre-order deal with the poster and signed 2-disc set. They were actually the first "extreme" metal band I came to enjoy. I heard samples of Mabool online early in my career as a metal fan and was like, "dang that is cool, but not quite my cup of tea." However, months later, it just clicked and I was like, "I need to get that CD!" At that time their first two weren't available in the States so I had to order them all the way from Israel haha.

Awesome, Orphaned Land toured with "Swallow the Sun" and I drove over 8 hours to Austin Texas to see them play at SXSW, then I also saw them when they came to Atlanta for Prog Metal Fest. I interviewed Kobi for The Metal Resource and Planet Doom. He is a very interesting person.

So the 1 you guessed right was Visionaire - Your right I think James signed all copies of that album, I wonder what ever happened to him? He was a very talented musician!

I also got the Orphaned Land CD Pre Buy. I had them send me a photo and sign my copy of Mabool when I saw them.

Oh man, don't get me STARTED with [not] seeing OL live... Haha I was so frustrated. I knew way ahead of time that they were coming to San Francisco (~1.5 hour drive for me, not TOO bad) with Katatonia and my friend was like, "ok I'm probably down; I'll let you know later" so I didn't buy tickets. I kept bugging her and bugging her about it until a week prior she told me she couldn't make it. I had held off buying tickets because she wasn't sure and once I got an answer, I went to buy tickets and they were sold out. So my other friend and I went anyways and stood in line outside for two or so hours. By the time we got to the front of the line and were maybe going to get in, OL was already done playing so we left. LAME! Haha such is life...

As for Visionaire, I dunno man. I really hope James makes some more music, because I really like all his material. I'd love to see another Century Sleeper CD because I just absolutely love that album.

Bump - New accquires!

For sure. I am still loking for a really nice Jackie Robinson that I can afford. I got a Jim Thorpe signed Scrap Book Photo for Christmas - it is going to go with my original Harjo's Indians photo of Thorpe I have.

Yeah -I got some really nice stuff from the estate of Raymond Dandridge directly from his wife - Henryetta. How cool is that!

Surely there must have been lots of people in line for that stuff from Dandridge's wife. I can't believe how you're getting some of this stuff. Your efforts seem to be paying off!

For real from my friend Bob Kendrick the president of the Negro League Museum in Kansas City - Ms. Louise Smith the wife of the former Hall of Famer Hilton Smith visited the Museum on Saturday to re-live her husbands former glory days. Ms Smith is in the care of Hopsice now and is not expect to live too much longer. It is too bad that her health is so poor I bet she has some incredible stories!

Bump - Pepper Bassett, Alex Radcliff and Johnny Britton.

Bump - Just added a fight card from the Ali and Foreman fight signed by the Ref of the Zach Clayton - Clayton was an amazing man he was an former of the Harlem Rens - Pre Harlem Globe Trotters - he also played Negro League Baseball for several years as well. When done with both Basketball and Baseball he became a boxing coach and later ref.

He is listed as one of the 10 greatest Athletes to come from the city of Philadelphia along with the more well known Wilt Chamberlain, Joe Frazier, Roy Campanella, and Kobe Bryant.

I have the Killswitch Engage album Alive or Just Breathing autographed by the bassist Mke D'Antonio and I have a poster signed by the whole band.

Just added a 1947 Montreal Royals Program signed by the Great Jackie Robinson!

Suh-weet!  Heck of a find.  Your collection is truly fascinating!

I have a ton of sports stuff signed for both baseball and hockey, but I am going to do just music...

Not a whole lot music wise, and nothing rare I am sure...
