BB HOF Poster, added 5 more from National, up to 87 HOF'ers so far

I bought this piece from a fellow board member a few months back and it was at 82 HOF'ers when I bought it.


Here it was then:



and here's the legend to the signatures for the first 82:



A friend from another board got 5 more for me at The National so it's now up to 87 total. I wasn't personally able to go because of law school and I'm going great white shark cage diving soon so I couldn't miss that much work in such a short period of time.

Frank Thomas- Signed on the palm trees at the lower center.
Randy Johnson- Signed nicely (for him) just to the left of Drysdales pic and sig
Eddie Murray- signed slightly to the right of the Drysdale in the lower middle
Andre Dawson- signed in the dark spot in the lower left picture corner
Cal Ripken, Jr. - signed in the lower right dark corner right above Harmon Killebrew.

The photo he sent makes the Dawson and Ripken look a lot worse than they will in person as those areas ARE dark but not as dark as they appear in the photo. Happy to add those 5. The previous owner was keeping it to a theme of HOF'ers that had finished or started their career prior to the 1990 date the poster was issued. I decided to just continue adding all HOF'ers that I enjoyed watching play regardless of their start date, so I chose to get the Big Hurt who started in 1990 a short time after the poster was issued. It was also supposed to be signed by Pedro Martinez as well but Pedro bailed on the show.

There were some more HOF'ers at the show that I could have gotten on it, but quite frankly, the signing prices are so high these days, that I couldn't afford to get them all at one time. I'll either add them later, or even if they die before I can add them, so be it. $$ is $$ LOL
