Ricky Rubio





Success (4/6) - 126 days

Near epic return from basketball sensation Ricky Rubio. He signed 4 custom 3R photos which is perfect, but he signed the plastic sleeves instead of the trading card which is a bummer.

I sent the request last 1/24/2011 to his team address. I got it back today, 5/30/2011. I sent 4 custom 3R photos and 2 trading cards. He signed them all (but I can't really consider the trading cards a success). 

Overall, I'm still very happy with this return. Worth the long wait. Thank you very much Ricky, I hope to see you play in the NBA in the near future.

Shaquille O'Neal (3rd)


Success (2/2) - 49 days

3rd return from Shaq. The request was mailed last 4/5/2011 to his home address. I got it back today, 5/24/2011. I sent 2 custom 3R photos and he signed them all. 

A bit dissappointed though on how the postal system handled the mail. The envelop was slightly folded, so as the photos.
Thank you again Mr. O'neal for the nice return.

Nice return from Hall of Famer Gail Goodrich. The request was mailed last 1/21/2011 to his home address. I got it back on 5/12/2011. It took almost 4 months but it's worth the wait. I sent 1 custom 3R photo and 2 trading cards. He signed all 3.

Thank you Mr. Goodrich for being good to your fans.

Bob Pettit

Success (1/4) - 28 days

I got a very nice return from Hall of Famer Bob Pettit to finally break the long drought. The request was mailed last 4/5/2011 to his home address. I got it back on 5/3/2011. I sent 4 custom 3R photos. He signed only 1 but personalized it.

Thank you Mr. Pettit for being good to your fans.

Yao Ming (Failure)

Failure (Returned Unsigned, 0/3) - 28 days

I received my request from Mr. Yao Ming unsigned. I sent my request last 4/5/2011 to his home address and got it back on 5/3/2011. I sent 2 trading cards and 1 custom 3R photo. 

I had the impression that Yao was good signer since I have seen successes recently. I believe he also has plenty of time in his hands right now since he has been injured for most part of the season. I guess his fans are not that important to him or maybe he has a good reason not to sign autographs anymore.

This was my 2nd attempt. He didn't also return anything from my first request. I'm very disappointed with Yao.
