Added a couple more WWII Service baseballs in the last couple weeks. Also, back from the painter, I had an Albert Belle portrait ball done. On the back, she added the bobblehead caricature of his famous muscle pose.

Just got this back from the framer - 1940 signed D DiMaggio and Ted Williams Burke photos with unsigned Doerr in the middle (unknown photographer). The fuzzy pic is how the photos looked hanging in an Oregon bar for over 70 years - I bought the incorrect Doerr photo but decided to frame it anyway. Pic is a screen grab from a youtube video of a tour of the bar just before it closed in 2012. Makes me wish I was a Red Sox fan.

Thanks, yes - very happy with the results. The guys at Dick Blick are always great to work with. They were both baseball history-knowledgeable, and really got into the four projects we worked on. I'm sure the others will turn out just as nice.

Signed Boarding Pass??
Really neat item. Dated April 16 1984, this boarding pass is for a flight to Indianapolis Indiana. It is signed on the back by five college basketball stars who were on their way to the campus of the University of Indiana, where the U.S. Olympic trials were being held. Among those to sign is Michael Jordan, who would go on to dominate the trials and earn gold for the U.S. before...well...you know the rest.
This item will be made available shortly for anyone interested. Tom C |

Kreindler painting displays
Jackson with fan letter that he saved, and Ruth with autograph. These look 10x better in real life, but I can't seem to get good pics.

Impressive and beautiful displays. I have some items from the Roy Pitts collection, which is where your Jackson letter originated from.

Scott,
Very tastefully done! Very nice. |

Thanks, guys. Forgot to mention that these are both feature paintings by Graig Kreindler. Luckily he did not have studies that paired up with any of my other autographs or I would be much poorer!

I'm working on a project collecting signed 1983 Topps cards (when possible!) from all the players, managers and umpires from my very first baseball game. I saw the Twins and the Indians at the Metrodome in 1983. Here are the players I have accumulated so far. They have all been eBay pickups.

These are the umpires and the Twins' manager:
Here is the box score: I still have my eye out for a few more and a couple I am trying TTM. Hopefully, the end result will be a nice framed piece with these cards and the original ticket stubs my dad I have from the game. |

Added a couple of new items from the recent Hunt Auction. Great prices in this one!
Added #222 with Tony Lazzeri and an Indianapolis Indians (team signed) ball including Roger Maris. Being in Indianapolis, this was a big one I wanted to add!

Very nice
I thought about bidding late on the Maris ball but decided against it because I had just gotten a rookie era Maris Indians signed postcard.
Congrats on these two. Tom C |

Thanks Tom. I'm certainly glad you didn't bid on the Maris ball!

When did he change from "Maras"?
|
#84
|
|||
|
|||
According to this NY Times article, he had it legally changed in 1955...
Roger Eugene Maris was born in Hibbing, Minn., on Sept. 10, 1934, but was still an infant when his family moved to Fargo. N.D. The family name was Maras, but he changed it legally in 1955 to Maris. http://www.nytimes.com/learning/gene...bday/0910.html

Zimmerman = Dylan
Speaking of Zimmerman, here is a Bob Dylan autograph I picked up last week during a trip through the southern part of the country (shameless plug as it is for sale in the BST :-) )

Roger decided to change his family name from Maras to Maris. Why? It seems that Roger was already experiencing unpleasantness from the sometimes fickle fans. Roger changed his last name so that he would not have to endure the unflattering chants from some who sat in the stands bent on rhyming his "Maras" name inappropriately. As Sister Ewals noted, he was sensitive . . . but he was still steady and focused.
I'm not sure what you could rhyme with Maras and not Maris...

+1 for pointing out the obvious....I was seriously overthinking this one.

Actually its true that is why he changed his name , but according to my good friend former major leaguer the late Pete Whisenant the players nickname for him was ROGER -RED ASS .....Most often used behind his back or to get his goat .....according to Pete he was sensitive about it and would throw him into a rage. For obvious reasons the opposition would use this to their advantage

Just thrilled as it has been a slow 2014 regarding purchases.
.
I do not generally purchase vintage team signed baseballs, as I usually find the boldness of the actual signatures are considerably less than the level shown in listing photographs. Given that this ball is a more recent vintage, that was not as much of a factor. Nothing extraordinary, but it is a nice clean & dated team signed baseball by the 1968 International League Champions Toledo Mud Hens. Purchased from Frogtown Books, out of Toledo. Very fast delivery as package just arrived yesterday. |
