Ron Lewis 500 HR litho

When I broke into the autograph side of the hobby, that lithograph was really hot. I always wanted one, but I never thought I would be able to finish the piece due to the health and age of Williams and the possibility of never seeing Mantle at a show. I don't like the autographs on the white border. I echo the sentiment of the previous poster, I prefer the autos, vertically on the legs.

There was a guy at the National who had been adding new players to the lithograph. I don't know if I would do the same thing.

I prefer the border-signed versions. Much neater and easier to read/enjoy.

Yeah, that is definitely a personal taste thing. I will say that I see far fewer ones signed in the border like you mention. So if that is the taste of the OP, he should go strong for this one as, again, I don't see nearly as many of them as I do the "down the leg" version.

"Down the leg". Sounds like something to worry about after too much Mexican food.

unsigned litho's are a tough find while the poster can be had

I would not add new signatures to the piece. That lithograph, depicts the 500 HR club (less the dead guys) when 500 home runs meant something. With PEDS, smaller parks, the home run became a joke.

I am trying to find the lithograph unsigned. Granted, I have not looked that hard.
