August Autograph Pickups
I'll kick off this thread with a wonderful piece that I am happy to add to my collection (compliments of Jim Stinson). Pie Traynor autographed framed and matted cut... Who I believe to be the only hall of famer born in good old Framingham Mass...
Thanks Jim! |

Nice one David!
Picked up this Barney Dreyfuss contract from Jim Stinson. Some water damage and a lighter sig, but I love autos on contracts. I now have autos of 227 different members of the HOF.

Nice pick up. You also got yourself a very nice Tony Piet autograph, right below Dreyfuss. He's not a HOFer, but you don't see full name sigs like that except on contracts. Congratulations. Dave, That is a beautiful Traynor. He is very under-appreciated. Best, Mark

Thanks. You're right, I own a couple of old contracts, and this is the only one of a pretty decent player who got well more than a cup of coffee in the bigs. I should also mention that there is a nice auto of John Heydler on the cover, which I haven't scanned.

Wow with so many National threads, the August pick up thread is getting no love.
Well...Let me change that a little!! I am soooooo psyched to post my newest addition. This is card 73 of 96 for my 1934 goudey signed set. Hank Greenberg rookie!!! I paid a pretty penny, but am very happy. The card's condition isn't great, but the sig is clear and vintage fountain pen. So cool. Mark

Chief Meyers
Posted this in other treads but this is signed on front and back by Chief. Was made out to Mary who was Zach Wheats daughter and had some interesting content talking about World Series.

2 Small Pickups...
- Picked up a Pitching Rubber signed by Clem Labine, Johnny Podres, and Roger Craig. I plan on meeting up with Carl Erskine in the next week and will ask if he is willing to sign it as well.
- Also picked up a signed 1964 Browns Super Bowl stock certificate. It is signed by the entire organization.

James- I just got a reply to a letter I sent Carl Erskine today. He was very gracious to answer my questions and also sent an autographed card. But would you please apologize to him for me? I forgot to include a stamp on my SASE which was apparently sent back to him and he was kind enough to re-post. Thanks, and he still has a beautiful signature.

I might as well post pics of it if I talked about it, huh? Here's a phone pic of the Erskine as well as a letter reply and card I got from Russ Kemmerer last month (sent the same day as the one to Erskine):

Jarrod,
I will pass the message. I will be going to meet with him on Monday morning. He said he has been working on a project that comes together this Friday, so that wasn't a good day for him...I'm anxious to see what the project is...
