Thank you for visiting. This site is based on the great hobby of autograph collecting. I personally enjoy collecting autographed rookie cards of players current and retired.

Autograph of the Month
Month: June
Billy Wagner
This was a great month for autographs, but I think Billy Wagner was my best success. Wagner is one of the games premier closers, with 385 career saves and a 2.40 ERA - and 1,066 strikeouts in only 818 innings of work.
Some say Wagner is a future Hall of Famer - he is no lock like Mariano Rivera or even Trevor Hoffman are considered to be, but with what he's done he most certainly has a shot at the Hall one day. He has saved over 30 games eight times and over 40 games twice and three times he has pitched in over 60 games in a season and posted an ERA under 2.00. I don't know about you, but I think that's a pretty impressive resume.
Because Billy Wagner is one of the best closers in the game today, and because he might get into the Hall of Fame one day, I name him the Autograph of the Month.
