Pardon my asking, but did you make a youtube video about your collection, I think I heard about it from there, or something very similar at least!

I feel like I owned that Honus years ago. It's very familiar.

Would be great provenance then!

The front is addressed to a chuck Stafford in michigan.

Landed a Cecil
 

Of all the random luck, I landed a Rex Cecil on a multi signed PCL scorecard last year.

Impressive collection.

in 2002-2012 I did in person autographing at the cactus league and being from CO did alot of Rockies. I was into getting oddball stuff signed (not a great choice from a monetary value but fun). Here is my favorite Helton from his short lived salsa brand. Congrats Todd

Nice Helton oddball piece!

Oddball stuff is great for eliciting unique reactions from players. What was Helton's reaction to being handed this thing?

Any other good, similar stories?

that was a popular brand of salsa for about a year if you lived in CO. I got 20 or so in person Heltons between spring training and Coors. I dont remember that one. He was always cordial but never very talkative

I had Gaylord Perry sign a jar of Vaseline. First time, hilarious. The second time, not so much. If memory serves at some point he refused to sign Vaseline jars.
