Rick Pitino and Louisville NCAA Champs team signed 11x14

I grew up in the Los Angeles area during the days of Dr J, Larry Bird, and Ervin Magic Johnson, I was lucky enough to have two NBA franchises in town the Los Angeles Clippers who played at the Sports Arena and the Los Angeles Lakers at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood. During those times getting NBA signatures was easy once you new where the teams stayed such as the Marriott on Century near Los Angeles International Airport, or the Hotels in Marina Del Rey like the Ritz Carlton or the Hyatt. Not to mention The Lakers and visiting teams would practice at Loyola Marymount University or UCLA , then there was the Private Terminal at Los Angeles international Airport which was completely accessible even during the days of Michael Jordan era and many of the NBA teams even flew commercial ! My point is it was a complete rush to have such an incredible opportunity to meet NBA stars and obtain their signatures. Eventually I started traveling to different cities and NBA ALLSTAR games to obtain signatures. It became an addiction and a goal of mine to get as many signatures as possible.

The items which you are viewing all come from years of my collecting obsession. They have been preserved in excellent condition and my photos have all been signed in permanent sharpie marker. The only reason I am selling my items is my collection has outgrown me and I have no space left to display all my treasures. So, they sit in my storage facility and that serves no benefit other than me paying an unnecessary bill. I felt like it would be much better to give others the opportunity to enjoy my awesome collectibles!

I kept a detailed journal of when and where I obtained my signatures and with the Certificate of Authenticity which you will receive with your purchase I will provide you with these details. This will enable you shop with confidence and peace of mind as you will be guaranteed that I personally witnessed and obtained the signature(s).
