ONCE AGAIN THE OC DUGOUT AND OC SPORTS CARDS COME THREW FOR THE FANS. THIS EVENT WAS HOSTED BY PANINI AUTHENTIC.THE FANS STARTED THE LINE ABOUT 12PM. THE LINE WAS WRAPAROUND THE BUILDING BY 1PM. FANS YOUNG AND OLD COME OUT TO SEE THE 2011 ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, 2011 SLAM DUNK CHAMPTION, 2011 NBA ALL-STAR AND 2011 NBA ALL-ROOKIE FIRST TEAM... BLAKE GRIFFIN. I GOT TO THIS EVENT BY 3PM. ITS SOCCER SEASON FOR MY TWO KIDS. AS I STARTED MAKING MY WAY TO THE LINE. I COULDNT HELP BUT TO STOP TO TALK TO FANS THAT JUST CAME OUT FROM MEETING BLAKE GRIFFIN, BUT THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES WOULD SAY IT ALL! THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY JUST CAME OUT OF THE TOY STORE. SMILES FROM EAR TO EAR. I WOULD ASK..." SO HOW WAS IT"? THE FANS WOULD SAY " IT WAS GREAT! WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR, I GOT GRIFFIN'S AUTOGRAPH AND A PICTURE WITH HIM". THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT, WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR? THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK...LOL.
EVERYONE THAT SHOWED UP, LEFT A HAPPY CAMPER! THIS ONE FAN SHOWING ME WHAT HE HAD SIGNED BY LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS POWER FORWARD BLAKE GRIFFIN.
WITH THE THREE INSCRIPTIONS READING. 2011 NBA ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, SLAM DUNK CHAMPTION AND THE BLAKE SHOW.
THIS FAN WAS SO INSPIRED. THAT HE GAVE BLAKE GRIFFIN THIS AUTOGRAPH 8X10 WITH THE INSCRIPTION " TO BLAKE THANKS FOR INSPIRING ME! ONE WORD... AWESOME!
THIS EVENT WAS WELL ORGANIZED. FANS WERE BROUGHT IN BY SMALL GROUPS AT A TIME. THIS WAS A VERY SMART IDEA. THIS WAY THE OC SPORTS CARDS CAN KEEP CONTROL OF THE SIGNING AND FOR THE FANS TO BE ABLE TO BE RELAXED AND NOT FEEL LIKE THERE BEING RUSHED ALSO TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THERE PHOTO TAKEN WITH GRIFFIN. THE FANS I TALK TO WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SMALL GROUP AT A TIME IDEA. WELL DONE OC SPORTS CARDS.
BLAKE GRIFFIN GREATED EVERYONE WITH A SMILE,A HIGH FIVE AND THANKED EVERYONE FOR COMING OUT. A REAL NICE GUY. THE BLAKE GRIFFIN SIGNING WAS GREAT FROM START TO FINISH.THANKS TO MY BUDDY TIMOTHY FOR GIVING ME SOME OF HIS FEEDBACK. BOTH HIM AND HIS SON HAD AN AWESOME TIME AS EVERYONE ELSE DID.I ALSO WANT THE THANK THE OC DUGOUT AND OC SPORTS CARDS BRAD, LANCE,BRIAN AND MARK FOR ALWAYS LETTING ME COME IN AND TAKE SOME AWESOME PHOTOS... THANK YOU!
TILL THE NEXT TIME, I'LL BE THE ONE IN LINE WEARING ANGELS AND LAKERS!
