ok, I know its not baseball but I have been unlucky the past 2 months. However, I wanted to show the difference in price between 1920's movie stars and pre ww2 baseball autographs. This is a Wallace Reid signed photo. Wallace was HUGE in the 1920's. During filming he hurt his leg so rather than waiting it out the producers shot em up with morphine to continue filming. What a surprise, he becomes a morphine addict and dies at the age of 30 in 1923. Pretty rare autograph bought for the enormous price of $9.99. The shipping charge was actually more than the winning bid. Willie Keeler died in 1923 but I doubt Ill be getting a Keeler signed photo for $9.99 anytime soon happy.gif
