A Great Honor....Maybe

Could this be the greatest achievement of any collector? I have been in contact with the NASCAR Hall Of Fame, and it seems that I may have an item that they are interested in displaying. I feel honored. Whatever we collect, to even suggest that one of our items would be displayed in such a manner is amazing.
Let me start from the beginning. I have in my collection, a NASCAR Media Pass from 1948, the first year of NASCAR. If that isn't historic enough, it is signed by Bill France, Sr., the "father" of NASCAR. I recently added this item to my collection, and I thought the NHOF might be interested.

We will see. If this comes to fruition, it just might be the pinnacle of my collecting career.

WOW.

Meeting Jeff Gordon






My family and I got to meet Jeff Gordon in July. The day before the race at Chicagoland Speedway, we joined over 200 other Jeff Gordon fans at a hotel in Joliet. We were served breakfast, and were entertained for over three hours before Jeff arrived.
After he arrived, he spoke for a few minutes. We were then dismissed by tables to go up to the stage and get an autograph. Jeff spoke with each person individually, and signed their item, as long as it was licensed by JG Inc. or NASCAR.

I put a couple of pictures up, so you can see the joy he brought us. His autograph was great, and not hurried like it is sometimes when you get it in a hurried situation.
