Personalized Mantle autographed Ball

[mybestbretts]

What makes this funnier. I went to a sports card shop in Florida the other
day and the guy had a George Brett, which is what I collect, photo inscribed
to Elliott. I told the guy I would have been interested if it hadn't had the name on it. He came back to me before I left and said if you want the photo
I will let you have it for $5.00. OH YES. I said o.k. It is an original Nick Vedros copyrighted in 83 and used for the cover of a book about Brett.
Now I want to find out who Elliott was.

you don't need to have it authenticated. real is real.

I have not seen it and don't have it but will try and get a picture
from the owner.

I wish I had a more common name. I've seen one Mantle photo inscribed "To Jared" (not how I spell my name) and I would've gotten it if I coul find it again.

Jarrod,

I've always wondered when I see your interests, do you have any bow ties worn by players or signed by players or is it strictly photo's?

James- I do not, but wouldn't that be something? I think a Ty Cobb or Branch Rickey bow tie would be my crown jewel. Now aren't those some opposites??

Nowadays, you never see players in ANY tie, much less a bow tie.

True for baseball, but for a Michigan man like myself, I appreciate how well Dhani Jones wears the bow ties.
