Default Mell Ott Auto

Posted By: John young

Thanks for all the feedback, guys.

I've reconsidered and will keep the book intact. The rest of the book, though old, looks mostly untouched. This auto was obviously treasured by whoever pasted the auto in there decades ago as evidenced by the dirt and browning of this lone page. I think I'll keep it's spirit together.

On a related note... Is Ott the toughest (note: NOT most expensive) 500HR club auto to get? He died too young at 49 years old only 10 years after his playing career ended. Or might Foxx be a bit harder to find? Ruth autos are plentiful, albeit expensive. All the other 500HRers played into at least the 60's (and lived at least into the 90's).
