Today I picked up a 1940 "Who's Who in Baseball" from the estate sale for the late Cub broadcaster Jack Brickhouse. When I picked up the copy amongst a stack of others and paged through it, I noticed the opening page was signed in pencil by a number of players including Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Dom Dimaggio, Joe Cronin, Ted Lyons(?) and Luke Appling who signed over his stats on the following page. It's in great condition considering it's 75 years old. The sellers apparently did not know of the signatures. Most signed baseball memorabilia was in locked cases. I had two Who's Who in hand and asked the price, they knocked the price down for the two to $15.00.

Sorry for the lack of a scan.

Finally found a Gene Gieselmann on a Cardinals baseball, which completes my goal of every Cardinal involved with an All Star game (player, coach, manager, trainer).

Glad to add a Koufax auto finally, even if it's a low end one.

That Lennon is AMAZING, Michael!

This just arrived today, a music one as well. I've wanted one of these my entire life, as I've been a fan since I was 4. Elvis, signed in 1956.
