Default What are some favorite autographed pieces in your collection?

Some autographs just speak to us even if they're not the most expensive pieces in a collection. Bill Buckner homered in the first MLB game I ever attended. The crowd went crazy and for a young boy that was enough to make him my favorite player. Here's the first professional contract Buckner signed as an 18-year old. It's not the most valuable or flashiest piece in my collection, but I sure do like it. What are some pieces in your collection that you really like?

I've also posted autographs of Cy Young, Honus Wagner, and Bill Dahlen.

PS - Buckner has a page on my website CoopertsownExpert.com with some pretty cool stuff - that first contract, his first Topps contract, five Topps extensions, his last payroll check as a pro player, his first passport, and other stuff. Kind of fun. Every HoFer has a page on the site and many other non-HoFers. If you have a favorite guy, he's probably on the site. Visit the site by clicking here.

Eager to see some cool pieces from everyone.
