Normally, I'd be posting a non-sports card-related autograph on Friday but when I started this site in 2013, I underestimated how many non-sports card-related autographs I had compared to how many Fridays there would be. Looking back, I should have kept those to a monthly occurrence.
Nevertheless, for the foreseeable future, it'll be all cards every day of the week, all in the order of how I acquired them.
