Remember it is not just money it is time and patience . Extensive and great collections are built over time while searching for quality items at prices you can live with without looking back .

The first autograph from that website was obtained when Ty Cobb's granddaughter had his canceled checks for $40. That was in 1984. One of the most recent pieces was the Frisch letter about doing a "thorough job" on the Vets Committee. LOVE the content on that simple piece. Then there's the most common signature of William Harridge. In it he tells Clark Griffith to give the annual pass to Ike and VP Nixon. Ten years later I found a wire photo dated a few days after the letter that featured Griffith giving Eisenhower the pass. Inexpensive but solid attention to detail. It takes a ton of time and effort though it's lots of fun. |

Working so close to the game can't hurt in building a collection either.

It absolutely helps. In the mid-1990s a few of the older scouts looked through the collection and helped out. Most or all of the pieces on Casey Stengel's page are from Mets scout Harry Minor. I stumbled onto the press release about the Colt 45's signing Joe Morgan then had dinner with him the next season. There are a few guys like that in the collection. Lots of fun memories. The connections have been good to me.
