Id attend another fish signing, bring lamar artest big game james and amy other laker!
-
#2
Dodgers HOFers: Tommy Lasorda, Duke Snider, Don Sutton, Jim Bunning.
-
#3
How about other current players beside the Lakers? There are other professional teams in the LA market! Don't get me wrong, I love the Lakers. but I would love to see other stars!
-
#4
PAU GASOL, RICK FOX, DEREK FISHER, ARTEST, KOBE
BRYANT? -
#5
PHIL JACKSON, JERRY WEST
-
#6
Georges St-Pierre, Liddell, Tito Ortiz, BJ Penn, Randy Couture? What about Clayton Kershaw or Manny Ramirez? Hopefully the Gasol signing can get finalized!
-
#7
Erick Aybar, because we can get him cheap and he still has potential to become a lot better.
-
#8
Is it possible to get Fisher back? I didn't get a chance last time because he sold out too quick
-
#9
Bring some angels and dodger players!
-
#10
Would Albert Pujols be unfeasible? I'm sure he'll be great in the aftermarket and I wouldn't have a problem spending a few hundred for his signature! Same goes for Kareem, Shaq, Peyton Manning, Ken Griffey Jr, and AROD!
-
#11
I'd like to see Manny Pacquiao and Evan Longoria.
-
#12
Michael Jordan
-
#13
How about any dodgers or angels opponents. When in town... off season it should be easier to get local players dodgers/angels...
-
#14
How about Larry Walker
-
#15
Phil Jackson. Please
No, really..... Phil :)
Dont even need a reason. -
#16
Win or lose on Thursday bring Fisher back in. Artest would be great too with that 0.6 shot against the SUNS. Is there anyway that Farmar or The Machine can appear after the championship parade?? Photos for kids as always!!! GO UD RETAIL AND SPORTS INTEGRITY!!!!!! LAKERS 2010 CHAMPS!!!
-
#17
I think it's safe to say that with tonight's win, we all definitely would love any group of our 2010 Championship Lakers to be in-store in the next couple months. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!1

#33
Any word on Chavez? Also would be cool if Chavez Jr. did an appearance with his dad.
-
#34
Since José Canseco came for a signing how about few weeks ago how about getting the other Bash Brother Mark McGwire. Also I'm a Laker fan myself but Clippers are from LA too Bryon Davis or Blake Griffin.
-
#35
As we could see people keep giving u a list that u already said u cant bring in...Why dont u give us a list of people that u r thinking about bringing in and we give u our opinion.We would love Chavez he is a big name especially in southern california in a Mexican comunity...Also what about Kareem we need him, thanks a lot.
-
#36

-
#37
Please bring in Rick Fox
-
#38
Hi all....wanted to touch base. We are working on Ron Artest for a possible August date. Just waiting to hear back from him. We will attempt to get some others like Sasha, Odom, Brown, maybe walton.
How about Steve Blake, The Lakers latest addition? -
#39
yea bring steve in
what about pau gasol -
#40
Yes Sasha, Odom, Brown and definitely Walton. I will be there for all of this. Get Artest too and Gasol. Thats a must! Any other Lakers too.
-
#41
I'd love Sasha, Walton, and Blake!!!!!!!!!1 They're ones I don't currently have.
-
#42
i think blake is good but you can always do him later in the season get the guys that are leaving that way we could get our team items done
-
#43

-
#44
Teemu Selanne 600 goal scorer and Ducks Fan Fav...
-
#45
A home grown player from Downey, CA Evan Longoria plays for the Rays but they will be playing the Angels sometime in Aug...
-
#46
I will be at the Farmar signing tommorow! Lets represent Laker Fans! Bob/Joe can we get more Lakers, the ones you listed are great, Bynum, Rambis, Fisher, The Machine, Artest, Mbenga, Fox, Shaw, etc. Any news on the Gasol signing? If there is anyway we could see baseball players like Torii Hunter, Andre Eithier, or Coach Mattingly. I hope all Laker fans know that this is the only venue that brings us Lakers signings continuously. Lets keep in rolling for UD and Sports integrity. Lakers 2010 Champions, 3-peat on the way!
-
#47
Would like to see Pau Gasol, Sasha, Artest,
-
#48
I think any of the Lakers are good. Not a fan of Farmar so I sat out.
Bring on some Dodgers Joe/Bob! -
#49

@ducktape1 "twitter" -
#50
Kerhaw, Loney, Broxton, Billingsley, Martin, Kirk Gibson, Tommy Lasorda, Fernando Valenzuela, Orel hershiser

#52
Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Phil Jackson, Michael Jordan, Pau Gasol, Jerry West please!
-
#53
Any interest in the following:
MEAN JOE GREENE
JIM BROWN -
#54
Hi All.....as I always try to keep it real with you guys/gals, I am very close to getting a deal with Artest for Aug 28. Not confirmed yet but should know something early next week. If it happens, there will be inscriptions offered!
Stay Tuned! -
#55
Is it possible to maybe get some NHL stars in there (more likely from the Anaheim Ducks or the L.A. Kings)? But yeah, I agree with what someone else said, would be really cool to get Evan Longoria in there since he's practically from the area originally.
-
#56
Aaron Rodgers - I think he lives in San Diego during the offseason; Brandon Jennings (from Compton; Blake Griffin (again) - I missed his signing last time. And of course -- Kobe!
-
#57
I would like to see Phillip Rivers. I also like the idea of Jim Brown and Mean Joe Green. What about Tori Hunter, Joe Namath, or some Dodgers?
-
#58
Hi all - just wanted to touch base. Having an issue with Artest but working on it. If it doesnt pan out looking to do James Worthy and maybe guys like J Brown, Gale Sayers, Paul Hornung.....what are your thoughts on these Hall of Famers/Heisman Winner?
Namath and KOBE are not feasible as well as Jordan, Phil Jackson and West etc. Id love to but not feasible. -
#59
Tommy Lasorda and Vin Scully
-
#60
yea big game james is good....
no word on gasol bring fisher back
goodrich
rick fox
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Elgin Baylor
-
#61
I would definitely go to a James Worthy signing. I missed the last one so I've been waiting for another one to happen. I would go to Gale Sayers as well.
-
#62
Not interested in football hofer probably would be expensive just want lakers dodgers and angels work it out with artest last signing at ud was packed
-
#63
James sounds great! Agree with autoseeker, get the artest thing done, for sure it would sell out
-
#64
kareem, James Worthy, Jerry West, Andre Eithier KOBE!!!
-
#65
Bring some USC Players:
Matt Barkley, Matt Leinart, Mike Garrett, Carson Palmer. LAKERS: Derek Fisher with inscriptions, Ron Artest, Kareem, Michael Cooper, Kurt Rambis, Byron Scott, DODGERS: Fernando Valenzuela, Orel Hershiser, Sandy Koufax, Manny Ramirez, Nomar Garciaparra -
#66
Bring Big Game James, I'll be there! Any word on Artest or Gasol? ANY LUCK WITH RICK FOX AT ALL?
-
#67
I would love to get sasha, odom, fisher, bynum, from the lakers. Tori hunter, joe torre, and some past lakers like worthy, cooper, kareem if we can.
-
#68
Joe bring some HOF Raiders
Raiders: Fred Biletnikoff, Ted Hendricks, Dave Casper, John Madden, Jerry Rice -
#69
How about you go for the big boys and bring in big stars such as Pac-Man, J.M. Marquez, Pujols, Kareem, St-Pierre, Asomugha, and maybe some Angels and Dodgers!!! I know you're trying and I/we appreciate it, but please, some big stars after all this is SoCal!
-
#70
Is it possible or out of the question to bring in players such as John Elway, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Troy Aikman, Magic Johnson, Kareem, Howie Long, Kirk Gibson, Tori Hunter, Jarred Weaver, Jim Plunkett, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, or Randy Moss?
-
#71
Hey Joe or Bob,
Any news on Ron Artest or Pau Gasol? Or any upcoming signings this month? -
#72
For baseball....Evan Longoria or Jared Weaver.
and basketball....Dwyane Wade or Chris Paul. -
#73
HI all and hope all is well. Here is a long reply to address some of the above posts....
Ryan - working on both but nothing yet. The minute I have news I will post - Thanks for your interest.
Luke - to be upfront, those players will most like never happen for many reasons.
Eduardo - Im concerned about football players there in HB. I cant bring in some of these guys and have small amounts of people show up. That would be detrimental like the Warren Sapp. Im just not sure its a place to bring in football players - Anyone have a different opinion??
- We WILL DO JAMES WORTHY THIS YEAR FOR SURE
- Working on Artest, Jim Brown, Pau Gasol
- RICK FOX is not interested as well as Jerry West
- kobe is impossible he is under contract with panini
-Koufax, Manny Ramirez not possible as well as others like elway etc -
#74
Like Luke and Eduardo, I prefer football players. Interested in Rams players from the 70's on. Plunkett would be great, Faulk, Warner, Bruce. There's still a large following for the rams in SoCal, would love to see a show like that, even a Ram Raider Show.
-
#75
All hope is on Ron Ron and Pau. I know last time I was in, Ron Ron was not looking good.
I think football is viable in HB but it needs to be top flight guys, like Drew Brees/Montana/Rice/Emmitt Smith plenty of HOFers hitting the auto circuit. Not Warren Sapp who has no ties to the area that nobody cares about. A season or two in Oakland doesn't make him a local guy.
Costly examples, I know, but I am STILL of the opinion that the premium market especially in OC is alive and well if premium athletes are willing to do public/private signings. Don't be scared to do a premium signing. Worst case scenario, the inventory gets sent to the local market where it will sell.
I'd still personally like to see more NBA. With All Star Weekend in LA this season, I am hoping for big things from you guys. -
#76
i went to the sapp signing, and would go again for other raider greats
-
#77
It's also about timing. Until this last year I would drop about 2,000 a year on Shows. I just bought a house this year so all my money went towards furnishing it.
It's been said that Shows do not do well in SoCal because people refuse to spend the money. Most successful shows are in the east, The exception to this is the GTSM Shows in San Jose, they do pretty good and have really brought in some top names. If the players are good enough, people will attend the shows and drop the coin. I missed Sapp, and would have happily paid his $100.00 plus for a jersey and Helmet signature. I know he's not local, but he's a HOFer and these are the guys I try to get.
Perhaps if you can draft a list of players you can get then we can voice our opinion on who we would most like to see. -
#78
I agree with Humberto. We have money and are willing to spend it, but if you keep bringing in players just because they are willing to do a signing then you get a weak turn out. Hall of Fame Sports is doing Magic Johnson and they are local why can't you bring in SUPERSTARS? I love the Pau Gasol idea, but that's all it is so far!
-
#79
Sports Integrity and The UD STORE are doing a great job. Hall of Fame Sports is cool, but the UD Store and Sports Integrity have brought players that we have mentioned, as well as others. But us autograph junkies are well taken care of by these guys and we should appreciate their efforts. When was the last time that Hall of fame sports asked anyone who they would like to appear for signings? Guys any update on Gasol? Are Brian Shaw, Derek Fisher, The Machine, Steve Blake, Matt Barnes, Artest, or Michael Cooper available? Keep it going guys!!!!!!
-
#80
Magiclaker, read this! HOF Sports has brought Barry Sanders, Joe Montana, Reggie Bush, Magic Johnson, Reggie Jackson, Kemp, Billingsley, Gagne, Kirk Gibson, Leinart, Marcus Allen, Jerry Rice, and Steve Young just to name a few! I'm just saying if they can do it then why can't Sports Integrity? UD also should have plenty of resources, why can't they? Money is tight right now, but I'm willing to spend a couple of hundred, I just want top talent for top dollar. After all I'm the customer right? I agree, UD and SI are doing a great job, but lately we've been talking about the same amateur players over and over!!!
-
#81
Any chance for some hockey players?
-
#82
Sergio, I understand what you are saying. I know Chris Weber from HOF sports and he is a great guy that brings in many big names and stars. But, he has had relationships with these players for years, as well as being a savvy businessman. Sports Integrity has written in this blog many times why some players are not available. Money, resale ability, and the overall cost of them paying the player to sign and show up have to be considered. Just because we want to spend top dollar, does not translate into profits for Sports Integrity or the UD Store, hence the ability of a player to show up or not. Besides, many people will balk when asked to spend on big names. You and I would love Joe Montana or Brett Favre to show, and drop the hundreds to get their ink, but the majority of collectors would balk. Sad for us but its true, business dictates who shows up. Looking at sports integrity they have signings elsewhere with other big names, but it boils down to profitability and resale of the athletes autographs. Also, many of these big names are exclusives to HOF sports or GTSM, MAB sports etc. Deals have to be made for them to show. But if sports integrity can bring them I am game to pay for the autographs just like you Sergio.

#83
what about byron scott, jamaal wilkes, michael cooper, pat riley, norm nixon, kurt rambis, brian shaw, gary payton, karl malone,
-
#84
how about vlade divac??? i'm sure he'll be interested in raising $$$ for his charity. make it HAPPEN ud or si! please!!!!
-
#85
How about bringing in the four newest Lakers? You could do one signing with Ebanks and Caracter and another one with Blake and Barnes.
-
#86
Hey all hope all is well. Just touching base. Tried to get Jabbar but it didnt work out at UD. Ill see if we can work something else out. Still no luck on Artest. Im trying to locate Gail Goodrich and Worthy will work out at some point.
Any thoughts on Mr Hockey Gordie Howe? I can get this completed but ticket prices will be approx $100 on flats and $200 on Large Items.....any feedback?
-
#87
Any chance we can get Torii Hunter? In Orange County, Angels country would definitely show up for Troy Glaus. UD store/Sports Integrity can we get Troy Glaus? Just wondering because I have never actually seen him do a signing in recent memory. Gordie Howe would be great, he had a decent showing at HOF Sports a few years back. Gordie Howe very nice guy, and classy individual, would not mind seeing him. Also is there anyway we can get Eric Gordon of the Clippers, Norm Nixon, Rambis, Scott, Drexler, or Trevor Ariza? As always thank guys for hearing our requests.
-
#88
yes kareem would be nice even if it isnt at upper deck.. maybe you can get him at a different location in LA?? any of the new lakers would be great... barnes, blake ebanks, caracter... old lakers always... byron scott, jamaal wilkes, rambis, michael cooper... gail goodrich, worthy, pat riley, norm nixon... let me know if any of them are feasable???
-
#89
not intrested in hockey i wont attend
-
#90
ya please try on Jabbar..Goodrich would be great....
-
#91
I don't claim to know the in's and out's of this business. I'm sure none of us are being negative in what we post, but as I stated in an earlier post I prefer Football Players. I know that networking and established relationships are the key to obtaining alot of these players and as stated, the ability to resell the players items on the secondary market. I'll just continue to monitor this page to see when NFL Players make an appearance at this location, and hopefully that will be soon. In the meantime, I think it's great to see that you listen to our suggestions, and are doing what you can to get these guys to appear........now get some Rams Players in here!
-
#92
Im 50/50 on Gordie. If you can get any currect Ducks or Kings I will be there
-
#93
Have to bring in Lakers....
-
#94
GET KAREEM! And torii! Hopefully pau works out!
