Great pick ups. I have always liked Bresnahan's signature.

Been a while for me to pick anything up since the Ruth and prepping for the season, but here are some dupes except the Morgan and '63 Topps

I've never seen a Wild Bill Donovan autograph. Thanks for sharing!

. . . on the W.E. Wild Bill Donovan cut from Kevin Keating and Quality Autographs and Memorabilia. Love the bold, black signature against the still vibrant yellow paper. Thanks for sharing

Great pick ups - I'm a vintage guy but I am also a Pilots fan and know M. Fuentes is a toughie. Nice Going.

Also Greg - that's a beautiful document. Happy you found it.

I'm still new to autographs but I love the old timers vintage sigs vs. their modern ones. Anyway, was happy to find this Eddie Collins.

Klrdds 04-14-2014 01:39 PM

Thanks for the compliment. I like the Eddie Collins, it is a great image with his usual legible signature. I am still looking for a photo of him, preferably an 8x10, to add to my collection.

I was very excited about getting this, since I was 15 that year and went to a ton of games that season. I cut out the box scores for the 20th win for each of the pitchers and taped them in a binder that the Orioles gave away that year (still have it - signed by Brooks Robinson on the cover). The only problem is that I want to take the picture out to get it authenticated, but I can't figure out how to get the fasteners off!

Aren't they similar to push pins? I have seen this type at shows with no photos and thought that they just pulled apart. I have never owned one as I am not a fan of signed photos sitting against a piece of plastic. Too many chances of it getting damaged.

They're more like the top half of a globe, so unlike pushpins, there's nothing to grab to pull them out.

Added to my HOF collection with a ball signed by Bill McGowan and to my WWII collection with Vern Freiberger's 1946 contract, also signed by Wm. Harridge and Roger Peckinpaugh.

Wow! After seeing your posted example of Pedro A. Martinez, I am 100% sure that you are correct about my 3 x 5 "Pedro" being him.

I really appreciate you pointing this out, as this is (was) part of my core collection. Time to farm Pedro A. out to the minors...

The poor guy can't catch a break- LOL! :p

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. If it's any consolation, Pedro A. isn't an exactly common signature, so it's still a neat 3x5 to own. And he was quite accustomed to being farmed out throughout his career so I'm sure he understands! ;)

Take a flat blade screwdriver and carefully slide it under the plexiglass and gently twist it back and forth. The plexiglass will pull the tack up and out.

Just came back from a mini vacation and had a loaded mailbox...a few consignments, a few private signings, and a few purchases.

Kyle,
Nice pickups. That "Goose" is hysterical! Wow!
It's probably best that he ditched the long hair... :eek:

Picked up 2 items last week:
1. Dolph Camilli single signed ball...the ball cube is not in good shape, thus the poor photo quality. Always wanted him on a ball along with a single of Carl Furillo.
2. William " Pickles " Dillhoefer full check, from Bill Corcoran. Keeping with my category of players who died while on a major league roster either during the season or during the off-season since 1920, except HoFers. Still searching in vain for Ray Chapman and Jake Daubert.

Hoping for 1 or 2 items from REA next week.

esiason14 04-19-2014 04:46 PM

Love the Pickles!

Grabbed this one today at the Grafton Ma flea market while visiting my parents for the holiday... the envelope is beat, but the fountainpen signature is gorgeous...

Mr. Zipper 04-20-2014 03:07 PM

Two new autographs in April.

Gemini 4 and Apollo 1 astronaut, Ed White. White tragically perished at age 36 in the 1967 Apollo pad fire.

Mickey Mantle signed "My Favorite Summer 1956." This completes my goal to get all three Mantle books signed.

got this cool Lefty Grove signed newspaper photo from a fellow member in trade (Thanks James!)

Got it back from my framer today, and am once again amazed how a mediocre looking piece can be transformed with a nice frame and matt job...
