I got this at the end of last month, but just got it into my display. For a WWII collector, John Andre is quite the story. He was actually stationed in Pearl Harbor when the Japanese started bombing. He was injured and received a Purple Heart! Off the top of my head, I don't know of any other MLB players who were in PH that day, let alone got injured.

got this autograph from a live auction on here for 6 bucks from mintacular, I figured if it wasn't real then it'd only be 6 bucks ( it matches some of the later certs I've seen from Stan). it was on a little piece of what looked like vanilla folder. so I decided to make a card for it.
The card I made is 5x4 inches and the auto is in a flimsy top loader cut to size. I then colorized the photo from 1941 and stuck it in a 1941 play ball design, Made the back and added details of where I got it from so I wouldn't forget. the card is rigid and feels like a card, just larger. this is my second Musial autograph, the other being on a ball I got ttm years ago from Mr. Musial. it fits perfectly in a 5x7 top loader ![]() ![]() Edit* i just noticed the typo on the back lol oh well Last edited by TAVG; 10-05-2015 at 01:43 PM. |

Excited to add this card to my 1957 set. Solly Drake is a very difficult autograph to attain. After he got done playing baseball he became a pastor in LA and basically left the game behind him. Doesn’t respond to autograph requests in the mail and has never done a public or private signing.

Great pick-ups Charlie! Nice bold Wahoo autograph that seem to be coming more scarce these days. I droll over some of the stuff Jim has for sale.

Curiosity got the best of me and I took a peek under this Zack Wheat postcard that was glued into a scrapbook I picked up over the weekend and it's signed "Buck Wheat". Anyone seen another instance of Wheat signing with his nickname?

Dan,
That Wheat signed RPPC is incredible. Very cool! |
