My name is Joshua, or, as my Instagram followers know me, @worldsbiggestdud. I have been collecting autographs in some form or another since I was about 9 years old, when I first opened an envelope containing a Grady Sizemore TTM return. Since then, I have collected thousands of autographs both through the mail and in person and met countless athletes, musicians, and other notable people. Along the way, I've also experienced many memorable moments and stories that I have always wanted to share in a way that an Instagram post just can't do.
As such, inspired by blogs like Dan Giacobbe's Daily Autograph & William Regenthal's Foul Bunt, I have decided to create my own blog to not only share my autograph collection but also the stories behind the ink. For now, that means sharing my TTM returns as well as IP autographs from the past, but in the future, taking my IP graphing recaps from Instagram and expanding on them - showing not only what graphs I've gotten but also telling the (to me) often much more interesting tale of how I got them! Hopefully, you'll enjoy these stories as much as I do.
However, no blog is complete without its followers! Feel free to comment on any of my posts with your own personal stories or interactions, thoughts on the autograph I've shared, or, frankly, anything you'd like as long as you keep it civil!
I can't wait to share my autograph collecting journey with you, as well as get to interact with everyone!
As Robert Lamm of Chicago once said, it's only the beginning of what I hope becomes something wonderful!
