My name is Bruce Weinstein and I am the CEO/President of Showcase Sports Collectibles here in Amherst, NY. I've been involved in the Sports Collectibles business since the mid 1990's. Back then, I orchestrated Private Signings with Magic Johnson, O J Simpson (before his controversy occured), and previous Heisman Trophy Winners.
Currently, we are a family run, full-service On-Line Sports Collectibles Company. We not only have a Store on E-Bay, but we also list hundreds of single cards and unopened boxes in the auction format every week on E-Bay!!! Our E-Bay ID is: Showcase_Sports_NY.
We are huge hockey fans and have a unique relationship with our hometown team.... the Buffalo Sabres. We have done private signings with Ryan Miller, Thomas Vanek, and Drew Stafford and we also carry autographs of the other players currently playing for the Sabres. Furthermore, we have autographed pieces of the Famed "French Connection" --- Gilbert Perreault, Rick Martin and Rene Robert.
