Default Hey Guys

Hey guys, whats up? I'm new to this site, just stumbled upon it the other day. I've been a huge autograph collector for a few years now, mostly signed photos of all sports. I am in college and this past summer I interned at Steiner Sports and got to work with tons of players. ( Jeter, Manning, Hank Aaron, Doc Gooden, Mariano Rivera, Joba, Swisher to name just a couple) I am pretty knowledgeable about sports autographs so feel free to ask me anything. I am a huge Yankees fan and because of my job this summer went to about 15 Yankees home games (we have a store at the stadium that I worked at once every homestand). My favorite autographs are a signed Jeter jersey and multisigned Philadelphia Eagles helmet with about 30 sigs. Glad to be a part of this group!

Welcome to the site!

Did you enjoy your internship with Steiner? What kind of work did you do and what department? That's pretty sweet how you got to work with those names.

Yes! Go Yanks!!! I live in Tampa and get to see the guys down here for Spring Training. Unfortunately, it's very hard to get their graphs due to all the people. Still trying to get Jeter, Cano and Tex.

I worked a lot with the Business to Business department getting all of our products on MLB.com as well as NHL.com. I also helped out the signings coordinator Eric (who has a really cool blog on the steiner website under the upcoming signings section) to prep for signings its actually a lot of work. We had to hand check and turn every baseball to sweet spot to make the signings go quicker. Checked the balls for any markings or imperfections, if they weren't absolutely perfect we didn't use them. I got to go to a lot of athletes houses too to do autograph signings. Went to Melky Cabrera's apartment a few times, Mark Messier's house, Jorge Posada's apartment, a lot of cool stuff.
