Thank you Wendy!

May 4, 2013 - Sports Vault Shop at King of Prussia Mall1738 viewsWe just got to the car from Ben's signing today. So I thought I'd send a few photos along with our appreciation for Ben's time. Let's be honest, he doesn't NEED to do these type of events. We as fans are fortunate for the opportunities. We got to the event early as we knew it would be organized chaos. The photo op was first. We had heard they sold all 100 photo ops. WOW! I've never seen that many sold at any event....not in the 11 years I've been going anyway.

Bryce decided he wanted it taken with his game worn cleat that he won in the monthly birthday drawing contest from this site. Coincidentally from our very first game in Pittsburgh. When Bryce walked up to get his photo taken with Ben, Ben asked "did you steal my shoe"? He's so great to these kids. He could just be there to sign our items, but he does a great job interacting with not just the kids, but adults too.

We got so much attention walking around with this cleat.....another piece of Ben giving back. How many players do you see do this on a monthly basis? I'm so jealous of Bryce, lol. This cleat is more amazing than any piece I have in my collection. As the evidence shows. It was a perfect day......Thanks Ben. -- Steve Bishop, NY

Truly a great experience anytime we get to meet Ben. He and Ashley were both so cordial and talkative at the event!" -- Kelly D'Angelo

We drove 9 hrs from Dayton, Ohio for this, and Ben was awesome really nice and we enjoyed talking to him, plus he signed a pic I took at SB XL of him! Looks great with him and Bettis' autographs. Seemed like he was having a great time with the fans! This picture here was the thrill of a lifetime for them! Tell him his fans really appreciate him! Thanks!!" -- Lou Bouris

April 1, 2012 - Collectors Showcase of America Show1492 views"My name is Steve. My wife Michelle, my 7 yr old son Bryce and I made the 7 hr trip from Syracuse, NY without flinching. I've been on this hobby for over 10 yrs and didn't recall Ben ever doing one of these before. I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting Ben to be as great as he was. I found Ben to be as engaged with the fans as anyone I've ever seen. He bent over backwards to give the fans what they wanted.

"I didn't anticipate Bryce getting his picture taken with him. So when it did happen, I literally got tears in my eyes. At 7, I would have given anything to have had the opportunity with Terry Bradshaw. Thanks to Ben's graciousness, a little boy's dream came true. And so did a father's, who lives through his little boy. Thanks Ben! Btw, I know exactly how the tattoo guy feels. I have a tattoo of Jack Lambert. I met him and he signed it. I had the auto tattooed as well. Now we want to see Ben again for a family pic. Hope to see him again, soon." -- Steve Bishop
