Any items received after that date will be returned unsigned. Marvin does not sign TTM, so the only way to get him is IP at an event or at a signing like this.

Atlanta Braves (1990–1993)
Colorado Rockies (1994–1996)

Met with Marvin a day early and got everyone's stuff signed. Marvin is a really funny guy and told me some great stories. One thing I did not know previous to the signing is that he will not sign the 89 Donruss card. If you sent that in, it will be returned unsigned and replaced with another signed card . He does not sign it because it makes him mad every time he sees it because it reminds him of a bad run in he had with coaches when they scratched him from a start at the last minute. He was pissed cause there was no real reason for it. Then they took his pic for this card .

Thanks Darrell.
Marvin looks like one big fella.

Very interesting about the 89D Freeman card. I had to look it up and see what the card looked like:

It doesn't look insulting or disrespectful toward Marvin. Certain images conjure up bad memories. I guess this is one.

Thanks for posting the photos!

Another one to add to the list of a player won't sign a certain card. Interesting to know the reason too.

Talk about a never ending grudge though…25 years and he still thinks of this incident!

Just came across this post, very interesting story, and cool photos! Keep the private signings coming, Darrell, these are cool to see, and I will participate hopefully soon!

 

[thehalk]

Welcome man. Marvin was by far one of my favorite guys I have ever sat down with.

That is cool in and of itself.....how many ballplayers, current or retired are not fan friendly....Marvin sounds like a great guy, and you came away with cool stories and a neat experience too!
