Contrast makes it less than ideal but less than 2 years to get a pre accident signature

A couple of other recent pickups...

Perez Steele Celebration album signed by 43 Hall of Famers including Mantle, Williams, DiMaggio...








And a neat multi signed Giles ONL ball with some high level HOFers including Rogers Hornsby, Stan Musial, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays + 6 other HOFers and 3 non-HOFers. Not sure I have ever seen a panel of a ball signed only by Musial and Hornsby before.

I saw that in the Hunt auction, understand the rarity, but never really understood the fascination. Regardless, congrats on picking up one of the toughest ballplayers to live in the 21st century.

Imagine a person collecting every Brooklyn Dodger autograph or every 20th century autograph. That one hole in the collection just gnaws at you most likely.

Hope you catch that guy and his rival on a day when they feel like spending cash.

I don't intend to part with it for quite some time unless I get bowled over. And there are people (more than two) who have been looking for one for decades without any luck. Right now my biggest dilemma is to slab or not to slab? I hate the thought of entombing something like this, but I am interested in keeping it safe and protected as well. I slabbed my signed M101-2 Honus Wagner for that reason.
