What signature would you like to add to your collection in 2014?

[39special]

Three I would like to add
Roger Maris
Gil Hodges
Jackie Robinson
I would be happy with one of those.

You really should have higher expectations for 2014. +1 on the Branch Rickey for me. I've waited too too long to acquire his signature. I'd also like to pick up Chuck Klein, Larry Lajoie, and maybe a Ruth if I do well enough on eBay sales over the summer.

[Scott Garner]

Make my day...

I'd love to find any of these guys in 2014:

Autographs of Federal League no-hit pitchers Frank Allen and Arthur David (Davie) Davenport. BTW, has anyone ever seen sigs to either of these guys?
At the very least, I would love to find an exemplar. Other no-hit pitchers that I would like to find signatures of include: Jay Hughes (1898 Baltimore), Red Donahue (1898 Phillies), Walter Thornton (1898 Chicago Bridegrooms), Weldon Henley (1905 Philadelphia A's), Johnny Lush, (1906 Phillies) and Thomas L. Hughes (Salida Tom) 1916 Boston Braves,

Mordecai Brown (growing tired of being the high or second under-bidder)

Any HOF not in my collection yet. But hoping for my birthday I can treat myself to a 3x5 or cut of someone in that $300-500 range. Looking at a guy like Frank Baker or Satchel Paige.

I would like to find a dual signed baseball by only Juan Marichal and Warren Spahn. I know there are many balls out there where both have signed along with others (like HOF, '65 Giants, and all-star balls), but I want one where only they both signed the sweetspot (if possible).

[HexsHeroes]

. . . Detroit Tigers ballplayers on my want list (at a price I deem reasonable).

2013 was an outstanding year for my collection as I successfully added five autographs from my want list. Given the obscurity of most of the names on that list (or infrequency of the not-so-obscure), even crossing off one wanted autograph during the course of a calendar year is reason to celebrate.

Just a small sampling of some the names I still need (these have more recent deceased-dates):

died Name (nickname)

1962 Dowd, Raymond (Snook)
1963 DeFate, Clyde (Tony)
1963 Hankins, Donald
1965 Fuller, Frank

Buy a Spahn SS ball and add Marichal. Done deal!

Yeah, I've been trying to do that, but I haven't seen too many shows where Marichal was signing in my area (southern Cali). When I googled him a few times in the past, I can't find any shows where he is even signing at.
