Really proud to add these to my collection. The bottom cut is dated '55 on the front and has sandlot game rules by some kid, "two base hit right of telephone pole."

Default Neat no-hit pitcher pickup

I just picked up this circa 1953-1954 era Warren Giles NL ball signed by no-hit pitcher Jim Wilson. Jim Wilson pitched a no-hitter on June 12, 1954 at Milwaukee Braves.

Although Wilson's signature is findable on a GPC or 3 x 5, finding him on a single signed ball is quite unusual indeed.

This ball was recently found by an eBay seller in Wisconsin (not a shock) at an estate sale. The best part of all is that the ball cost only $14.00 in a BIN.
Awesome!!

This would be my best guess having been there , Cresent Park Later known as Huggins /Stengel field the Yanks left there in 1962 but still practiced there , it is really out of the way and to the best of my knowledge became the 1962 Mets first spring training facility.

My autograph pickup from the weekend, nothing special but for $25 couldn't pass it up. (Even came with an 8 by 10 photo of Whitey). A signed 1963 Topps card of Whitey Ford cert from JSA. Only thing I don't like about the card is that someone had it laminated after it was signed by Ford.

Dave, those look awesome, as always. Great pickups all. These are cheapies, but were in a dollar box w new yankee cards and priced the same as a Paul O Neill Upper deck card. VERY RANDOM.

This one arrived yesterday. I already have a Gomez in my collection. However, I couldn't resist the opportunity to pick up a vintage version. I hope I didn't make a mistake. If I did I'll be disappointed but not bankrupt It's signed in what appears to be fountain pen ink and I assume it dates to 1942 based on the Health patch on Lefty's sleeve? The style of G in this one is different than what I have seen in more contemporary versions of his signature.

Obtaining vintage autographs is new to me. A vast majority of my collection is comprised of signatures I obtained myself. I recently obtained a 1941 Satchel Paige autographed photo and have since been drawn to vintage signed photographs. However, I have very little knowledge of this area of collecting and don't want to be foolish with my limited resources. I took a risk buying this Gomez without educating myself. Based on eBay sales I see that Gomez isn't a very rare autograph or expensive. How much of a premium is placed on vintage autographs?

Mike,
The basic answer is yes. It would be more, but how much is more difficult gauge. The answer to this question widely varies depending upon multiple variables.
1) Who is the signature? A Babe Ruth "Rookie" era signature might very well command a premium, whereas if it were Bob Veale(sorry Bob), not so much.
2)What is signed? A signed 1952 Topps Mantle with a c1952 sig would likely command a significant premium over a modern signed one in sharpie.
3) How much are you willing to pay? If you're looking to put together a collection of autos, like a whole team, and you only want sigs from that time frame, you'll likely be willing to pay more for it.

Best,
Mark

Here is a 1935 In-Person Gomez to compare yours too, a decade apart but still a good match

I agree that vintage signatures will have a premium added to them just by their very nature of being vintage. Full name vintage signatures definitely will have a premium on them . The " premium" is definitely player and type of i item and era dependent. The average HOFers vintage signature should not be in my opinion more than 2-3 times their later or nickname signature. But this is arbitrary and by no means a rule. Again it is all player , era, and item specific . I personally will always try to add a vintage full name signature of a HOFer to my collection whenever I find one no matter how many signatures I have of that player. Also by vintage I mean early career no matter the era in which they played.

I've pretty much cut down my collecting to finishing up existing projects, and will probably eventually just limit myself to Mantle signed magazines, hof baseballs and sigs in my hof book. With that said, I just got my 61 Yankees project back from the framers. This includes everyone that put on a uniform in 61 (except batboys), both owners, coaches, announcers and even the trainer. 15 of the sigs are on my 61 yearbook, the Mantle is on a 61 World Series Review magazine, and my favorite is the 62 Maris Post BB card with his 61 stats on the front. Next up will be the 60 Pirates which should be framed up in July, with or without Danny Whelan the Pirates trainer.

This includes everyone that put on a uniform in 61 (except batboys), both owners, coaches, announcers and even the trainer. 15 of the sigs are on my 61 yearbook, the Mantle is on a 61 World Series Review magazine, and my favorite is the 62 Maris Post BB card with his 61 stats on the front. Next up will be the 60 Pirates which should be framed up in July, with or without Danny Whelan the Pirates trainer.
Wow, Mike! That looks terrific. Congrats on competing it!

Thanks Scott! I've really enjoyed putting together complete collections from famous teams, but the reality is that there are a couple that I've started that will never be finished. I've got several sigs from the 1919 Blacksox and 27 Yankees, but I'll never finish them. I think I'll mat the Blacksox sigs I have around a nice litho that I've had forever and call that one a day as well. The 27 Yankees I think I'll mat a couple of sigs with cards in multiple small frames and fill in an area above my window. That will leave the 34 gashouse gang (need 2 more autographs...not hard, just haven't got them yet), the 69 Cubs (that one is pretty easy) and of course the 60 Pirates.

Got this early Larry Berra from a board member a few weeks back. Unfortunately I promised it to a friend prior to getting it framed and matted....I figured I would share it while I still own it!

Default 1944 Army Navy Championship autograph book pages

Please pardon a duplicate post in another thread, but this is a May pickup.

Here are pages from an autograph book that was originally purchased from a veteran sailor of World War II approx. 20 years ago. It would appear that he was one of those that attended the 1944 Army Navy Championship Series.

29 players that played in the Major League signed these pages in black steel tipped fountain pen.

Eight of these players would go on to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame and 6 were New York Yankees and the other 2 Brooklyn Dodgers.

The HOF players that signed include:
Pee Wee Reese, Joe Gordon, Joe Dimaggio, Bill Dickey, Billy Herman, Red Ruffing, Johnny Mize & Phil Rizzuto.

The other 21 Major Leaguers include:
Johnny Vander Meer (the only pitcher to throw back to back no-hitters - 1938), Virgil "Fire" Trucks (2x All-Star, 2x WS champ & threw 2 no-hitters in 1952 with the Detroit Tigers), Schoolboy Rowe (played in 3 WS & 3x All-Star), Hugh Casey (played in 2 WS), Barney McCosky (hit .312 for his career & played in the WS), Walter Judnich (played in the 1948 WS), Mickey Vernon (played in the majors for 20 yrs, hit .286, 7x All-Star, 2x batting champ, led A.L. In doubles 3x) and Gene Woodling (played 17 yrs in the majors, won 5 WS championship with the Yankees, had a batting average of .284 & a WS batting average of .318.

A total of 48 autographs of World War II veterans signed these pages (29 MLB players). Pages measure 8" x 11

Mike - That '61 Yankees piece is quite amazing. Why didn't you include the batboys?

Originally I was going to but in the end I'm really not interested in the bat boys on any team...even famous teams. I started asking myself, where do you draw the line? I was even thinking of adding Sal Durante for catching Maris's 61'st, but changed my mind on that one as well.

Thanks for sharing. I knew you would have a reason.

Two items I found in Switzerland during the 'Large Ass' Herzog tour of the Alps.

TLS written by Jackson Scholz in 1982. He is one of the athletes featured in the movie 'Chariots of Fire'. He won the silver medal in the 100m at the 1924 Olympics in Paris. He won gold in the 200m. He also won a gold in the 4x100m at the 1920 games in Antwerp. Makes mention of the movie in the last paragraph.

Clipped signature of Jack Lovelock. He won a gold medal in the 1500m at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, beating American Glenn Cunningham. A New Zealander, he practiced medicine in New York City. It is speculated that he suffered a dizzy spell when he fell on the subway tracks and was killed by a train in Brooklyn in 1949.
