Default Show the one autograph you really wish you hadn't sold/traded...

I recently was presented with an opportunity to "buy back" some really great autographs that I have sold over the years (I am still kicking it around). It made me think, what autograph did I really like that if I could do over again I wouldn't have sold. For me, it is probably this 1929 Ruth ball. It had a nice inscription to a Junior League on the south panel, a clear as day Ruth all alone on the sweespot, and a couple others on the back panel (Lazzeri, etc). I bought it from the original owners family, who told me that it had been kept in a sock for the last 80 plus years. If you still have photos, show an autograph that if you could go back in time you wish you hadn't parted with.

Default T206

If you go to T206 collector.com you can see the signed T206 of Fred Clarke that I traded to Paul. I traded the signed T206 Cy Young too but autograph was very light. Never see those again.

This Grover Cleveland Alexander signed baseball. It was also signed by Babe Didrickson and a minor leaguer from a House of David Team. I was able to buy a Honus Wagner signed card and what might be the earliest example of Walter Johnson's signature with the money I made. But man, what a ball.

I had 4 baseballs I kinda' wish I hadn't got rid of, but the prices I realized for the price I paid made it a no-brainer. Sold this one w/ Lelands a few yrs back:

Default Joed---

Yeah, when Josh saw it he said it was one of the best FDR's he'd ever seen!

Here's another I sold, mainly because it was traced over, but it had the same impeccable provenance and was deemed as definitely authentic despite the obvious trace.

It is pretty unique w/ the complete Washington Starting Lineup & Mgr Johnson & Babe & Lou & was proven to be a beginning of the season ball from 1930 when the Yankees made their 1st visit to Washington. 6 HOFer's on it.

Wish I had it back as it didn't go for a big price!

You can see them any time you want -- you just can't have them back again!



For whatever it's worth, they are prized and cherished by this collector. And if you muster a signed T206 of Ty Cobb, I'll trade 'em back to you.
