November Pick-Ups

[ATP]

Here's my big score for the month. It's a 1930's autograph album, 200+signatures, over 20 Hall of Famers, 99% of them signed in black steel tipped fountain pen. Beautifully bold Lou Gehrig. I will enjoy going through the couple hundred names and seeing if there are any really tough non HOFer's in there. Here's a few scans.

Wow that is an awesome score for the month! Awesome Delancey who is a toughie for sure. I'd love to see some other scans as I think these old auto albums are fantastic. Do you have a website? Congrats on the find.

Brandon,
Thanks, I had been trying to get this autograph album for a couple months and am having a great time with it so far. It's not really bound any more so the pages are removable, so I plan to sell some and recoup part of the cost. I am going to work on getting the other pages scanned in soon, and if people don't mind, I would love to show them and see if anyone else spots some toughies. I have about 95 percent of the ID'd but admittidely I don't know a lot of the obscure, potentially rare names.

Picked up this Pepper Martin single signed baseball this weekend. The ball is a Branch Rickey Rawlings Official League Ball. I've never seen that ball before.

Picked up a 1958 Pirates/Columbus Jets exhibition game scorecard signed by Roberto Clemente and others.

Great looking early Clemente signature. Had a hard time with the signature at first, until I saw other examples from 1958 and earlier years.
