Oddibe McDowell Private Signing 5/09

[Emcee17140]

I will discuss it with him and see what he says.

At his last signing he wouldn't do it, AND he never told me so the promoter had to send a bunch back with a refund ! I was caught off guard.

I'm one step ahead here. I'll post the result of my conversation with him early next week.

Meanwhile thanks to everyone for the interest !!

thanks.

I'll probably be in for 1 card, and I don't mind Bible inscriptions at all. In fact, I think it adds a bit of character to a signed card.

For the upcoming signing.

I spoke with Oddibe today and did ask him about signing Cleveland Indians baseball cards. It is just basically something that he has not done through the years and on principal has decided to stick with it.

I did not press him for any additional money to sign these cards in particular and he didn't mention it so I just left it at that. He did say to apologize to everyone trying to complete sets

On the other hand, if you have a Cleveland Indians ITEM to sign such as a photo or helmet...he WILL sign 1 per person for this signing only.

Last signing he did 1 full size helmet with other Indians on it and I reminded him of that and he gave me the ok to do "a couple" for this one.

Therefore I will be purchasing an 8x10 shot of him with Cleveland which I will have for the signing and will post the pic next week.

Thanks for trying. Hopefully the Cleveland items he signs will help towards breaking the ice for cards in the future. I hope Oddibe one day understands that he is punishing the wrong group of people for the bitterness he holds for the Cleveland organization.

I understand your point and can sympathize with you for sure.

However I have gotten alot of response, pm's, e-mail for this and honestly I have seen very little interest in the Indians cards. Maybe 2 people ?

Certainly If I thought there were going to be 100 cards with him on the Tribe I would perhaps force the issue more and even attempt to pay him more for the signing.

He is a genuine, very nice individual and I am going to respect his wishes, and certainly not force the issue over 4-5 baseball cards !!

I do thank everyone for the interest and remind everyone that this signing is fast approaching. Thanks.

If I were him, I'd sign Indians cards but not items.

Maybe you misundertsood. In no way was I criticizing you, actually, I thanked you for trying. I just don't agree with Oddibe's policy because the people he's displeased with are not the ones feeling the consequences. It's the set collectors, of which I'm sure there are far many more than have contacted you about this signing. I have met Oddibe and you are correct, he's an extremely nice individual and I would not expect you or anyone to force the issue with him. I'm just saying that I hope he himself realizes that he is aiming his frustrations at the wrong group of people. Again, thanks for even bringing it up to him.

Below is the Image of Oddibe McDowell on the Cleveland Indians available exclusively for this signing. He has never signed this image before and does not sign Indians Cards and virtually no Indians items.

This will be an officially licensed photofile photo with MLB hologram...etc.
Very nice shot - $15.00 DELIVERED. Thanks.

Just a reminder to all that I need your Oddibe McDowell items by Monday May 4th 2009.

Appreciate all the interest and items sent thus far.
