Authentic Jackie Robinson sig? Plus odd tickets
Hi, everybody. I went to a sale last week at the estate of a Brooklyn Dodgers collector. The estate was in Brooklyn, of all places.
He had lots of neat stuff: old programs, ticket stubs, lots of autographs, pennants and on and on. A lot of it was overpriced. I think the heir just went online and found the highest prices he could find and priced things that way, regardless of condition. But I still picked up a few things, including this Jackie Robinson signature on an index card. The price wasn't bad, so I took a chance. I don't typically like buying autographs because there are so many fakes and I'm not an expert at all. But I rolled the dice on this one. What do you think? Also, I was excited when I found these old ticket stubs in a box. It looked like stubs from a Daffy Dean no-hitter. But when i got home, I found that he did pitch a no-hitter that year, and it was against the Dodgers, but it was much later in the season. Definitely not Game No. 32. I should have figured it out at the sale when it was dated in September, but I was a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff, and it didn't register. Any chance it's Dean signature? I'm guessing not. I'd assume he'd know when he pitched his no-no. Anyway let me know what you think of the sig and the tickets. It was a fun sale. Wish the prices would have been a little better. I think the guy had been collecting since he was a little boy. It was a collection in the truest sense. Thanks. Rob |

Rob,
The Robinson looks real good to me too. Matches up with the one I have real well (got mine from Ron Gordon back in the late 80's). As for the tickets, well no they are not from Sept 21st 1934. Assuming that only one ticket was issued on double headers, I calculate that this was from 7/14/34...also against the Cardinals but no no-hitter thrown.

Did ticket numbers run in reverse? i.e., ticket #32 meant the 32nd game LEFT instead of 32nd game PLAYED?
