Mark Turgeon Autograph Biography

My first autograph was from Dave Winfield of the New York Yankees. I was eight years old. I had never met anyone famous before and after that day, Dave felt like a hero to me.

Collecting sports cards was one thing but to actually get them signed was another. I have always played sports my whole life and as a kid, I loved watching all kinds of sports: Red Sox, Mets, Yankees, Bruins, Rangers, and Celtics etc. But I would have to say; I enjoy the sport of Hockey the most from playing it and cheering on my favorite team the Hartford Whalers. My Autograph days officially started in Hartford, CT. I was a huge Whaler fan and would attend most home games and get autographs from the Whalers and the visiting teams.

For seven years between the ages of 10 through 17, I collected NHL autographs. I met pretty much every hockey superstar that was in the league at the time, which included names such as Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Sergei Fedorov and much much more. My collection of hockey autographs were signed pucks, photos, sticks, jerseys and more.

The Hartford Whalers organization moved to North Carolina and my era of obtaining NHL autographs kind of ended, but my love for autographs did not die. I began to start collecting music autographs from the various artists and bands that toured in Hartford, CT and through out the state. I have also traveled frequently to New York City and Boston, MA meeting bands such as The Rolling Stones, Doors, ZZ Top, Dave Matthews Band, U2 and more.

All genres of music has always been a passion to me. I had a great interest in obtaining autographs from various artist and bands in all genres.

Even Today, I still get a rush like I would get as a kid when meeting various music artists. I sell some of my items that I’ve obtained from various music artists as a supplemental income. To check out some of my items for sale along with viewing authentic autograph exemplars please visit my website at www.sharkstreasures.com.

I currently live in Beautiful Southern California and I am able to work and deal with some of the most respected autograph collectors and professional photographers in the Entertainment business. After years of working and studying autographs, I can easily assess if an autograph is fake or not ? It’s disgraceful how many fakes ones are out there. To me an autograph is like a Historical artifact or a true memory.

I have recently decided to finish my college degree at California State University Northridge studying Geography. No matter what my future holds, I’ll probably always be out there getting autographs on the side. Autograph collecting has been a hobby of mine for about 17 years. Nothing beats the anticipation, the excitement, and the stories that come out of those autograph nights. All the Best Mark Turgeon
