The Collection: SEC Football

To get things started off, I'm going to give a periodic rundown of the autographs I have collected over the years, breaking the list of successes down first into sports, and then into conferences. With football season just around the corner, I figured I would start there, and as a Mississippi State fan, I might as well start in the SEC.

Like I mentioned before, I have collected most of the autographs on 3" x 5" index cards. Some players, however, have autographed photos (most sized 7.5" x 10.5") I have sent them, and a few have even sent back things on their own, like schedule cards or snapshots.

All of these autographs have been collected via snail mail, the good ol' USPS. I will have a whole separate entry to discuss this issue one day in the near future.

Until then, here's a look, in no certain order, at my SEC football autograph collection:
