Non-baseball autographs on baseballs

[bigtrain]

Scott's thread on the Gregory Hines autograph reminded me that many years ago I had a Humphrey Bogart signed baseball. It one of the things I most regret selling. Interesting that everyone from actors to Presidents will sign a baseball. I don't currently have any non-baseball autographs but would love to see some signed non-baseball baseballs.

I was thinking about this last night. I went to a charity golf tournament back in the '60s, and got a bunch of NFL stars to sign a crappy note-pad. I really wish I had brought a baseball - Lem Barney, Alex Karras, Mike Lucci, Deacon Jones, Lee Roy Jordan, Mel Farr, etc. It would certainly be one of my prized possessions. I didn't even think to bring football cards, and I had multiples of all of them

I once had a dozen Ray Nitschke signed baseballs. Haven't seen them in years and figure they got liberated from me somewhere along the line. Also had some Johnny Unitas signed baseballs that sold very well. I keep hoping to find one tucked away in some forgotten box.

This WAS the only NONSport signed baseball I had and I kinda' wish I still had it, but I sold in a Lelands auction back around 2005.

Personally I dont seek these out for my collection but a browsing of completed ebay sales shows the popularity of celebrity signed baseballs. Mine come usually from running into a star at a baseball related event.
