Guess I will kick it offgot this Joe D. 1937 press photo from a fellow member & had it framed and matted with a circa 1947 album page from the Burt Sugar collection... I made a color copy of the original article photo and included that into the display as well...

I posted this for opinions, and after over 250 views I only got one. As I believe that this is a legit auto, I'm posting it here as HOF auto #233 for my collection.

Great pickup, 233 is an incredible number

Wonderful piece! Congrats on your b
Pickup. If you haven't already, I highly recommend you read jack kavanaghs book "uncle Robbie" you will like the auto that much more after completing it!

So I cracked the Early Mo index card from its PSA/DNA tomb, and sure enough the two little dirt specs came off... I gave it to my framer this morning with a ticket 9/26 to Mo's last game & Voila!!!
Not much of a modern auto fan so this one will likely wind up in the BST... If anyone is interested, please feel free to PM Me. Happy Collecting! |
Fabulous piece sir.
|
Very nice presentation, Dave. Will you be going after a '1st game stub' for a future re-frame?
|
Mo
Great question... That would certainly make for an interesting piece no doubt!

So this one is slightly outside of my typical collecting interests, but I couldn't pass up a vintage auto of the greatest showman on earth!
What is pretty neat to me is that it was signed exactly 101 years and 1 day before my birthdate! |

It just goes to show how long autograph collecting has been around. |
Here's one I just picked up for my Presidential collection. Carter is so common that it's hard to find good pieces for him, however I thought this one fit the bill. Thought it had a great association considering the Camp David Accords.
TLS signed “Jimmy,” one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, May 20, 1977. Letter to Lawrence Spivak, cofounder of Meet the Press. In full: “Thanks for sharing your comments about Menahem [sic] Begin. Your insight, as usual, is valuable.” In very fine condition. Accompanied by a copy of Spivak’s initial letter, in part: “If Menahem [sic] Begin becomes Prime Minister of Israel, I think he may offer more of an opportunity for peace than a peril to it…He has softened considerably since his days in the Irgun. Not only that, but his heart attack and his age can, I believe, make him think more about a place in history as a peacemaker than as a hawk. If he should recognize the importance of compromise, it will be easier for him to sell the Israelis than it would be for a Prime Minister who is more dovish.” http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps46b92fcc.jpg |

obviously not the most common uncommon autograph, but thought that this 1948 copy with this inscription was pretty cool!

From a fellow board member. The photo can be dated to 1951 given the signage.

Like Dave, not sports, but Picked up this today at a thrift shop. Hoda Kotb from the TODAY show personal signed copy of Ace' biography, dated on day of his appearance on the show. How does something like this end up in a thrift shop? May sell or keep, but LOVE IT>

Ace
Wow what a cool signature!
That one would look beautifulr framed and matted. Nice pickup, and they feel even better whent you dont pay an arm and a leg! congrats! Quote:

The Rocket
1 Attachment(s)
Aside of the controversy, the rocket was one of my favorite pitchers growing up... For years I wanted a copy of his 1984 Pawsox pre-rookie card, but couldn't shell out the $250 that they were asking at the time... in 2012 I ended up scooping one up on the bay for $30... I still have the set, and this auto provides a nice companion piece... its a circa 1983-1984 Team Sheet Signed by A very young clemens & two teamates (Chuck Davis & Charlie Mitchell), both also appeared in the 1984 pawsox set but only Mitchell played on the team... That said, I think the sheet might be a 1983 New Britain Sox sheet which would be the second earliest clemens that I have ever seen (1983 Longhorns team ball)...
Not an earth shaker, but extremely happy to have it in my collection |
Nobody can take it away from Roger before the roids. Cool early signature
