Went to Cleveland over this past weekend to pursue the Utah Jazz. This team is still great about signing. The only problem I encountered on this quest was the rain and snow we had graphing at the hotel there for this team. Despite some damaged items I had from graphing at the hotel there, I was not to worried about it as I get to see this team again in about a month. This happened to be one of the teams I wanted to hit up at least 2 times this season. Alright anyhow, here are the results I had with the Utah Jazz over in Cleveland,OH!!!:
Utah Jazz in Cleveland 11/15/08
Jazz
Morris Almond 9 cards, and a pic!!! (Flat out recognized me from the NBA D-League when I saw him in Fort Wayne last season. I was able to chat with him for a couple minutes. He remembered me from last season asking him for a pair of shoes and this time around he mentioned he only had one pair with him on this trip. He proceeded to tell me to give him my contact info and he would see what he can do on the shoes. So after my chat with him at the hotel, I used a 3x5 index card to write my contact information on it and at the arena, I gave him that index card and he graciously took it!!! I really hope he comes through on the shoes for me as I also mentioned I will see him again in Detroit in about a month. I was really happy about this when he saw me again. This was the story of the night for me right here on this trip!!!)
Carlos Boozer 2 8x10 photos
Ronnie Brewer 11 cards (4 of them smeared really badly thanks to the lovely weather we had at the hotel in Cleveland last weekend!!! Not very worried about this though as I already mentioned I get another shot at this team again in about a month.)
Jarron Collins 5 cards, and a pic (1 smeared badly UGH.)
Kyrylo Fesenko 2/3 cards (He didn't do the 3rd card as it was a duplicate of one of the cards I had that he already signed. Since he signed that same card already and it came out horrible, he signed on the bottom page of that card and not the card. Also the recent report I read that he gave out the ebay line was false as I did not recall him saying that in Cleveland.)
Matt Harpring 1 card
Andrei Kirilenko 1 8x10 photo, 1 slamups poster, and 4 cards
Kyle Korver 2 cards, 1 8x10 photo (This 8x10 just came out bad. I will erase and try to get it done again in about a month.)
Kosta Koufos 4 cards (3 of them screwed up in the rain drops.)
C.J. Miles 6 cards, and a pic (2 of them messed up in the rain.)
Paul Millsap 2 cards (It would of been 4 cards if the rain did not smear the 2 cards he signed for me UGH.)
Ronnie Price 2 cards
Deron Williams 1 ESPN Magazine cover, and 1 Hoop Magazine cover
Tyrone Corbin 3/8 cards (My first time getting him finally!!!)
Ron Boone 1 Jazz logo card
That is all I got from the Jazz in Cleveland result wise on this day.
Overall if it wasn't for the horrible weather we had at the hotel in Cleveland last weekend, we probably could of gotten possibly some more items done and had no items to complain about that got wet in the rain. Overall this team is still awesome about signing despite the weather.
Since Morris Almond recognized me from the D-League and that I mentioned the story about the shoes, if anything new happens with this story I will keep everybody on here informed.
Otherwise that is all I have to share with my day of doing the Utah Jazz over in Cleveland. As always, I will look forward to reading comments if anyone has any. Thanks alot for looking at this thread today!!!
Next up for me: Maybe the Cavs tommorow. In about one week from tommorow, I will be doing the NY Knicks.
