Back in the early 1980s, I worked at a card store in San Diego, CA. A relative of a former major leaguer, if I remember correctly, George Cutshaw, brought in some baseballs that George had received during his playing days.
The balls included a single-signed Ty Cobb, a Honus Wagner, a Jim Thorpe and a Babe Ruth. Also included was one signed by both Cobb and Wagner, and one I think signed by Ruth and Thorpe. I was around 20-21 years old at the time, and couldn't afford them. The store owner put an ad in SCD, and sold the single-signed balls for I think, $300 each, and the dual-signed ones for $600 each. It still kills me to this day! Steve
