One other regret is a 1941 LIFE Magazine that I had signed by Ted Williams.
Back in 1981 or 1982, Ted was a guest speaker at a sports banquet in San Diego. I caught up with him as he was walking through the parking lot of the hotel/convention center, and he signed the magazine, with a beautiful, BIG signature; I couldn't have been happier!
Fast-forward to the early 1990s. I had never been happy that I wasn't able to properly display the magazine, as back then, there was nothing that would hold a large magazine the size of LIFE. So, I reluctantly consigned it to, get ready for it..........Coaches Corner! Back then, they had huge 20-page auctions in SCD. Well, I sent it to them, along with some of the 1980s NIKE posters that I had gotten signed, on consignment.
I basically got next to nothing for any of the items.
Oh, another item I consigned at the same time to CC was an old Chesterfield Cigarettes LIFE Magazine ad that I had gotten signed by both Ted Williams and Stan Musial.
