There is no way any of you have this, but I'm gonna take a chance.

I'm looking for an Ed Giovanola autographed baseball. I'm putting something together and he's the missing piece. Obviously, COA of some kind would be needed. Thanks in advance.

He is on linkedin-have you tried reaching out to him directly?

I have.

But he never responded back. I'm half tempted to show up to his work, but that seems too far. Any thoughts on that?

Write a note with his secretary or him and see what they say. Quick related story-I needed Earl Wilson to finish my 1968 Tigers piece, but he wouldn't do any shows. Finally, i had my wife right him a letter at work. Next thing you know, his secretary calls and invites her (not me) to bring the piece in. He mentions how he doesn't like signing autographs, but appreciated the note and so he was making an exception, so she got the autograph and finished my piece. Unfortunately, he died a few months later.

That is both an amazing and sad story, thanks for sharing. Also, thanks for the advice, I just may do that. :-)

I have a 1996 Leaf Certified signed card - does this fit what you want? I'm happy to help.

You show up to his work address with a young son and/or daughter (niece, nephew, grandchild, etc,...) and you tell the kids in front of him how great a player he was and how much courage, dignity, etc,... he had as a player. He should sign an autograph then unless he's a real SOB.

HAHA, I just so happen to have one of those lying around.

I got him on two 1995 Braves team signed pieces last year during alumni weekend. He finally came out of California so we all could nab him. He and Luis Polonia finished off some items for me last Summer. Sorry, I didn't get a ball done and I know that he hasn't done TTM, because I sent something to his real estate agency. Good luck in getting him. He was really nice over alumni weekend though.
