Also added some more letters on Signamania…
I would like to send out a "Sincere" thank you to everyone involved in this weekend's Signamania convention in PA.
I've had a great relationship with George from George's Cards & Collectibles for almost 2 years now. Along with a great amount of help from Eric Simms of ESS Promotions, George has worked with me to book star after star in his store with a track record second to none. Around 8 months ago, George approached me about doing a wrestling show or convention. He decided to go the convention direction first. We went back and forth with hundreds of names and decided on the crew that were there Saturday.
After 22 years in the business, he respected me enough on who to choose, who was worth it, who wasn't, who was a risk, who was a draw, etc. etc. I feel now that it was over, it was a tremendous event. I stressed to George what had to be done to make it a success. With his background in promotions and player/wrestler signings in the past, he made it look easy when we all know it wasn't. Especially with the problem with the building that he didn't find out about until 6 AM Saturday morning.
The wrestlers we chose were all professional, friendly, and clean! Everyone was curtious, punctual, and well mannered starting with George and his staff, The Wrestlers, The Wait Staff, and The Security and especially the fans!
Eveyone made it an awesome day!
The lunch buffet was a nice touch that I've never seen done before.
Congratulations again and I personally look forward to the next one and all of the upcoming signings in his store in Levittown, PA. Remember, it's all about the fans, they make it all worth it!
God Bless, Tom Brandi (Formerly WWE Sal Sincere)

BTW - I spoke to George and he tells me he hopes to have another one in April 2008.
