Very Cool on the Ron Gordon item ! I once had a GPC that was postmarked during the streak and always amazed me that with all the pressure DiMaggio still found time to respond to mail requests for his autograph.
Thanks for posting Jim, I don't believe I have seen a Joe D auto from that era, very different than his show signing days. Don't know which is better looking, but I would take a playing era signature any-day of the week.

Can't wait to hear more stories about vintage autographs.
