JULY autographed pick ups

[Lordstan]

Well I started off the month with a bang.
1972 HOF Yearbook signed by 27 total and 22 HOF players. Berra is the only guy alive with an unsigned plaque in the book. I think I will try to get him in ballpoint at an upcoming appearance.

I got it today, in the mail, from Jim Stinson. (Little plug)
I am just blown away by this.

Interestingly, there are only 3 HOFers still alive who were inducted prior to 1972...Musial, Koufax, and Berra. As someone who experienced the auto boom of the 80's, it's kind of sad to realize that all of those guys are now gone.

That thing is great! Thanks for sharing. I hope I can add to this thread soon...

Mark,

Your HOF signed book is awesome! I especially like that it appears that all signers used the same ball point pen. Extra credit points for that.

Congrats!

Thanks guys.
I am really excited about it.
Let's see what everyone else picked up!

Awesome pickup Mark. I'm still waiting on you to sell me that '77 HOF program.

This is the opposite of a vintage pickup, but I got it at the minor league park today. An uncut sheet of cards from my local Class A team that I got signed after the game. I think there are two or three guys on this team that have a chance at the Bigs... 21 out of 30 cards are auto'd and 3 of them I'm missing are coaches.

Mark,
LOVE IT. Very nicely done.

[Lordstan]

Jarrod,
Don't hold your breath on that!
Very nice sheet BTW. It's always cool when you can get an item like that done all at once.

Coop,
Thanks very much

I'm wondering who the guys in the boat are.

The one the right looks to be Walter O'Malley.

Mark is absolutely correct.

Well, picked up this signed Jimmie Foxx 1938 Goudey Heads Up for a steal on the bay in looking at comparables. It got certified through PSA/DNA (which I don't care, I want a slab protection on the card). And would like to give Jim and Richard a shout out again for their help. Will post pics in slab upon receipt.

[Lordstan]

Mike,
That seems like a pretty long drive.

I just picked up this nice 1931 signed album page of HOF catching great Ray Schalk.

Ray Schalk played for the 1919 Black Sox, but he was was of the "Clean Sox" players. Schalk was unique in that he caught 3 no-hitters (including Charlie Robertson's perfect game) as well as an "unofficial" no-hitter. Pretty awesome early vintage signature of Mr. Schalk that I'm happy to add to my collection...
