Sonny Bill Williams mailday - MY BEST EVER!!

[Rooster Pump]

Hi All,

As you can see below I have some awesome signed SBW cards in my possession - before anyone asks they are not for sale. Straight into the PC they go..........hell, more like straight into a safety deposit box at my bank!!! Here's how I got them.

Last Friday (the day of the Roosters/Souths final) my wife gives me a call from work. She tells me that she got to talking to a guy who worked out in the factory who was having his last day at the company. Turns out he's a Roosters fan & a very good friend of Roosters player Isaac Liu. My wife told him that me & our son were massive Roosters fans as well and left it at that. A little later he comes into the office and says to her, I've spoken to Isaac - do you want anything signed? The players are getting together on Sunday for a big signing session for each other and Isaac can get something signed for you. The only problem is you need to get the stuff to me today. Well, my wife works in Campbelltown & I work in Castle Hill...............BUT I was having a day off. So, my wife calls me, tells me the story & I tell her I have a pile of SBW cards I need signed. She tells this fella, he calls Isaac, he says no worries and I race the cards over to her work.

The guy came in today & handed over the cards below (including the custom card I got from Brplat). I'm biased but I think they look amazing. Good auto on all of them, none rushed or scribbled.

I took the advice I got on here on how to remove the signature from the custom one. Best advice ever!!

This is the original IP we got on the custom card & one on his Masters & Apprentice card. HUGE difference. I still like the M&A one.

I agree. I've seen plenty of his IP's where he's just scribbled a mess that you cant decipher. I think because it was a signing session amongst the players themselves he took his time with them.

I only got one of each done - because it was such a monumental favour I didn't want to appear greedy. I'm sorry about the no sale - to me & my son as Roosters fans they are priceless (and complete collections as well!).

Nice cards just wondering what the advice was on how to remove the signature. Theres a card i want but it is signed and I don't want it signed in my view it devalued the card by having it signed, you have given me hope that i might be able to get it now.

I got an ordinary removable black whiteboard marker pen, traced over the signature and just wiped it off. The signature underneath came off with it. Simple as that mate.

Thanks mate that could be useful advice to remove markers from other things besides cards. Did it leave any sort of trace of the original sig?and did u have to let the whiteboard marker set for a while or just straight off?

Looks like you did well with those sigs, is a bit disappointing when you see the first efforts which i think from memory were what he did for your son and not like you gave him a whole stack to sign.

It left no trace at all - in a few places I had to do it twice. No setting time at all, just copied over it & wiped off with a dry cloth.

Yep the first ones were collected by my son. I guess lesson learned is for some players don't try on game days, try and get them at club functions where they are more relaxed.
