Pacific Soccer Autograph Project: April 2016
http://pacificsoccersigs.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Check out my main autograph blog! Tuesday, April 5, 2016. Mail Call: The Early April Inbox and Outbox. Most of my recent mailings have been for other sports- lots of baseball and hockey (and even a non-sports-related request to the great singer Bill Withers), but there have been a few for this project that have gone out as well. I've gotten nine arrivals since my last update on here, in chronological order. April 1: No fooling, Doug Neely came in, my longest success time yet on this project. I mailed...

Pacific Soccer Autograph Project: June 2016
http://pacificsoccersigs.blogspot.com/2016_06_01_archive.html
Check out my main autograph blog! Sunday, June 19, 2016. Typically when I send cards out to be signed, I like sending multiples. While I can't complain much about spending 94 cents per request (47 cents each way), if I can maximize my return on that money invested, I'm going to do what I can to ensure that. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 110 players plus 17 variations/errors; 127 total. 110 cards (113 players with Lackowecki/Peat, Doyle/MacEwan, and MacKenzie/Sweeney errors).

Pacific Soccer Autograph Project: February 2016
http://pacificsoccersigs.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Check out my main autograph blog! Friday, February 26, 2016. A Visit To Allen. During the game, Brian messaged me that he was pretty sure he saw David Doyle talking to Jago but wasn't certain. We took a walk at halftime hoping to find him, but no luck. We did however run into Terry Woodberry who signed the four cards I had from Brian's stash. Links to this post. Wednesday, February 10, 2016. Buy, Sell, and Trade. Fortunately, fakes are rare in the indoor soccer world, if they even exist. When the top...

Pacific Soccer Autograph Project: A 1987-1992 Pacific Soccer Error and Variation Compendium
http://pacificsoccersigs.blogspot.com/2016/09/a-1987-1992-pacific-soccer-error-and.html
Check out my main autograph blog! Wednesday, September 21, 2016. A 1987-1992 Pacific Soccer Error and Variation Compendium. Normally when I work on getting a set completely signed, I won't bother with most of the error cards or even the variations. The only ones I would mess with are any wrong photo errors. Everything else I'd let go. Cards I have signed already have no note, cards I need either signed or unsigned are notated, as are ones I have but not signed. 2 ERR - Krys Sobiesk. 2 COR - Krys Sobieski.

Pacific Soccer Autograph Project: International Success
http://pacificsoccersigs.blogspot.com/2016/11/international-success.html
Check out my main autograph blog! Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Got my first of the most recent international batch back last week while in Ohio- Gary Stanley signed his 1987-88 card in about two weeks via his current workplace. He signed it on the back of the card, but I can't complain much- I have a few that are signed that way. Definitely one I'm glad to get as a Chelsea fan, where Stanley plied his trade throughout the 1970s. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dave Brett's Historic Soccer Videos.

Pacific Soccer Autograph Project: International Mailings: A tutorial
http://pacificsoccersigs.blogspot.com/2016/10/international-mailings-tutorial.html
Check out my main autograph blog! Wednesday, October 19, 2016. International Mailings: A tutorial. My international postage finally came. sort of. But now, a little info on how to do this most effectively. Bam, $1.15. So that's what I did. Unfortunately the only two-ouncers they had in stock were wedding themed. Great. Most countries' postal websites could tell you this info. But unless you're semi-fluent in a few languages, you may be sunk as translations are not always available, and even Google Tr...

Pacific Soccer Autograph Project: Mail Call: October 5-11
http://pacificsoccersigs.blogspot.com/2016/10/mail-call-october-5-11.html
Check out my main autograph blog! Wednesday, October 12, 2016. Mail Call: October 5-11. Still no foreign stamps yet. This is killing me. On the positive side, I have gotten back 6 more in the last week or so. Nebo Bandovic, c/o work, 1/1, 1 week. Bandovic only had one card in the Pacific sets, but he signed it pretty quickly for me. Mike Fox, c/o home, 5/4, 3 weeks. Terry Nicholl, c/o home, 3/3, 2 weeks. The importance of double-checking! John O'Hara, c/o home, 2/1, 1 week. Here's to hoping I have some s...

Pacific Soccer Autograph Project: March 2016
http://pacificsoccersigs.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Check out my main autograph blog! Tuesday, March 22, 2016. Mail Call: A series of quick successes, and a return to the failbox. In my last post I mentioned that I had mailed out a few, had more to come, and then tacked on even more on top of that. Since restarting this month, my mailouts have gone to. MARCH 7: Paul Wright, Preki, Tatu, Kai Haaskivi (written in Finnish), Jim Gorsek, Bruce Savage. The results have begun trickling in this past week, with a deluge of four yesterday. Yesterday came Bruce Sava...
