What actually makes an autograph signing great?In this episode of the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show, we break down three simple things that can turn an average signing into a memorable one for collectors, fans, and everyone involved. Inspired by recent signings with Matthew Stafford and Sam Darnold, we talk about what athletes can do that truly makes a difference at the signing table.First, it starts with the quality of the autograph. Taking the time to sign clearly and consistently shows respect for the fans and collectors who value the item for years to come.Second, great handwriting matters. Some athletes naturally have beautiful signatures, and when they take pride in how their autograph looks, it instantly elevates the item and the overall experience.Finally, the best signings always include personality and energy. When athletes interact with the room, enjoy the moment, and make the process fun, the entire event becomes more memorable for everyone involved.Autograph signings are more than just signatures on memorabilia. They are moments between athletes and fans. In this episode, we discuss why recognizing and complimenting athletes who do these three things well can help encourage better signings across the hobby.Visit PowersSportsMemorabilia.com and Follow us on Instagram @PowersAutographs.

Podcast Summary This episode of the How To Succeed Podcast features watch entrepreneur Alan Tsao of the Tsao Baltimore Watch Company, tracing his journey from childhood fascination to launching a successful watch brand. After an initial manufacturing failure and losing early partners, Alan persisted, refined designs, leveraged mentorship, and achieved a breakout 2017 Kickstarter that far surpassed its goal via low-cost, gamified marketing. Tsao built trust with global manufacturers through in-person visits, grew through proactive behaviors and strategic partnerships (National Bohemian, McCormick Old Bay Seasoning, the Baltimore Ravens, the Baltimore Orioles, and the University of Maryland Athletic Dept.), and is developing notable projects like a Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge watch - using actual bridge steel - with profits donated to victims' families after the fatal bridge disaster in March, 2024. Join us, as Alan emphasizes attitude, learning from failure, community-building, and advises aspiring entrepreneurs to take action and, "Just Do It".   Chapter 1: Introduction to the How to Succeed Podcast 00:00:02 – 00:00:40 Dave Mattson frames the show's focus on the "success triangle" of attitudes, behaviors, and techniques. He sets expectations for peeling back how top performers think and act. Chapter 2: Meet the Guest and Topic 00:00:40 – 00:01:15 Host Chris McDonell welcomes guest Alan Tsao of Tsao Baltimore Watch Company and outlines the plan to explore Alan's entrepreneurial journey. Alan acknowledges the journey's challenges and rewards. Chapter 3: From Childhood Fascination to Passion Project 00:01:15 – 00:03:35 Alan traces his love of watches to a gift at age ten and explains his obsession with mechanical movements. As his career advanced, he built a 35–40 watch collection before deciding, with a nudge from his wife, to start designing his own watches. Chapter 4: Early Missteps and Losing Initial Partners 00:03:35 – 00:07:03 While working in property management, Alan looped in executives as early partners and sourced a manufacturer via a quick Google search. The first prototypes were low quality, scaring off his partners; he refunded them and bootstrapped forward, seeking advice from other microbrands to refine designs and supply chain. Chapter 5: Attitude—Learning From Failure and Pushing Forward 00:07:03 – 00:11:23 Prompted by Sandler's "attitude" lens, Alan reframes failure as learning rather than stopping. He emphasizes determination, confidence, and never giving up, aligning with the concept of "failing forward" to refine processes. Chapter 6: Breakthrough Kickstarter and Lean Marketing 00:11:23 – 00:14:58 After vastly improved prototypes, Alan launched a 2017 Kickstarter with a $45,000 goal, surpassing it in three hours and finishing at ~$115,000. He attributes traction to a $500–$800 gamified referral campaign that generated ~2,000 emails and ~25% conversion. Chapter 7: Global Sourcing and Trust-Building 00:15:13 – 00:17:57 Between 2017 and 2022, Alan traveled to Hong Kong and Switzerland to meet manufacturers. In-person relationships built trust, improved terms, and elevated product quality, strengthening credibility and operational know-how. Chapter 8: Going Full-Time, Investor Catalyst, and Hypergrowth 00:18:38 – 00:23:03 Weighing life choices post-Covid, Alan met an investor through a retail event who first commissioned 250 custom watches, then offered capital. After due diligence and valuation work, Alan accepted the deal, resigned, and the company grew 150–200% the following year. Chapter 9: Behavior—Showing Up Leads to Opportunity 00:23:03 – 00:23:53 Chris highlights the behavioral discipline of attending events and hustling while employed. Proactive behaviors, not chance, drove encounter-based breakthroughs and subsequent growth. Chapter 10: Strategic Partnerships—Natty Boh, Old Bay, Orioles, Ravens 00:23:53 – 00:27:47 Alan details collaborations beginning with National Bohemian via Instagram outreach and a fortuitous family contact leading to McCormick/Old Bay. Successive momentum earned projects with the Ravens and an official licensing partnership with the Orioles to cement local brand identity. Chapter 11: The Key Bridge Watch—Local Manufacturing and Giving Back 00:27:47 – 00:30:33 Tsao Baltimore is producing a watch using actual steel from the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, with 85% of components made in Maryland. All profits support victims' families, while the project advances local manufacturing R&D. Chapter 12: Expanding into Education and Sports Memorabilia 00:30:21 – 00:34:27 As official timepiece of University of Maryland Athletics, Alan plans "class watch" programs for schools as an alternative to rings. He previews an Orioles initiative using player-worn jerseys as mystery watch dials with signed player cards, enabling community trading events. Chapter 13: Proudest Moments—First Sale and Family Validation 00:34:27 – 00:36:48 Alan recalls the emotional impact of the first full-price online sale. A second defining moment came when his young son said, "I'm proud of you, daddy," affirming the deeper family purpose behind the business. Chapter 14: Capabilities and Services at the New Workshop 00:36:48 – 00:37:24 The new facility houses certified watchmakers capable of servicing luxury brands, acting as a U.S. repair hub for jewelers and independent watch companies. Chapter 15: Advice to Aspiring Entrepreneurs 00:37:24 – end Drawing on his teaching at the University of Baltimore, Alan urges aspiring founders to start, learn by doing, and iterate through trial and error. He stresses overcoming comfort zones, accepting risk, and avoiding regret by taking the first step.

In this episode of the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show, we take you behind the scenes of a recent Stephen Curry signing that had everything uncertainty, rare collectibles, international collectors, and moments you never see as a fan.We talk about what it is really like working with an NBA superstar of Curry's stature and why, despite the pressure and expectations, Stephen continues to be one of the most courteous and generous athletes we work with. From signing for an hour and a half after a game to sitting down and eating pizza with us late into the night, this signing showed exactly why Curry is respected far beyond the court.We break down the details collectors care about, including how Curry holds the pen when he signs, why part of the C in his autograph can occasionally skip, and why that consistency matters. We also dive into some of the incredible items that came through the signing, including 2009 Topps Chrome Refractor rookie cards limited to 500, numbered and patch cards, a signed bourbon bottle, Warriors multi signed photos, and even a dual signed basketball with Michael Jordan.You will also hear about two collectors who traveled from Guangzhou, China to have items signed for their customers, the global reach of Curry's autograph, and the signing nearly being canceled due to issues outside the arena before Stephen made the decision to sign anyway after the game.If you love autographs, rare cards, and real behind the scenes stories from the memorabilia world, this is an episode you do not want to miss.https://powerssportsmemorabilia.com/

In this episode of the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show, we go inside one of our most memorable signings ever with Patriots legend Julian Edelman. Julian and I quickly connected over something bigger than football — we're both from the same area — and that shared background set the tone for a signing experience that was personal, detailed, and unforgettable.Julian was genuinely shocked when he saw that we had a pair of his game-used cleats. What made the moment even more special was how locked in he was on every single item he signed. For each card placed in front of him, Julian knew exactly what play it came from. Not the season. Not the game. The exact play. It was a masterclass in how deeply he remembers his career and respects the history behind the items collectors cherish.One of the wildest moments came when Julian picked up a helmet we believed might be game-used. Unsure if it was worn in a game or served as his backup, Julian did what only Julian Edelman would do — he tried it on. Watching him examine it, react to it, and get completely absorbed by the memory tied to that helmet was something you rarely get to see outside the locker room.This episode pulls back the curtain on what a true player-collector connection looks like and why game-used memorabilia carries meaning far beyond the autograph. If you collect, love football history, or appreciate the stories behind iconic moments, this is one you won't want to miss.https://powerssportsmemorabilia.com/

Sports memorabilia is big business in the United States. Exceptional athletes can attain God-like status very quickly there, and everybody wants a piece. The baseball that Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers hit for his 50th home run last season, recently sold for $4.3 million. And if you are into buying sports memorabilia, chances are at some point you logged on to a website called Mister Man Cave, which boasts one of the largest football, baseball and basketball autograph inventories on the web. That's what it looked like, but all wasn't as it seemed. During an investigation into fraud and counterfeiting at Mister Man Cave, its owner 45-year-old Brett Lemieux took his own life. Host Bernice Harrison is joined by Irish Times contributor and America at Large columnist Dave Hannigan, who explains that before his death, in a Facebook post, Lemieux spelled out for investigators and sports fans how he had flooded the market with hundreds of thousands of fraudulent sports-related items over two decades, generating hundreds of millions of dollars for his company.
