1985 Cy Young
86 96 00 WS Champ
Dr K
1985 Triple Crown
No Hitter 5/14/96
4x All Star
Mets HOF
194-112
2293 K
3.51 era
24 shutouts

Stat balls sell and will give you the best chance to get your money back and maybe make a little. The more - the better. A piece like his which documents his career is very nice. He has done so many signings and his stuff is so common that most items with just his name on them are going to be difficult to sell and you will most definitely lose money on it.

And just a suggestion - try to negotiate with the promoter. Ask if you can get a break if you get several inscriptions. Good luck.

+1-agree

I have seen a few as of late on eBay sell that Doc signed with a expletive. Those stat/inscription pics were selling pretty good. Not for everyone-but something unusual.

As a Mets fan I could not resist buying one myself.

Very unique! Was Doc friendly when you met him? I was a fan of his in my younger years.

Incredibly friendly. He was taking longer with each person than promoter was happy with....lol

I've always found him to be a friendly signer... happy to chat and pose for photos.

That said, he does seem to have an inexplicable habit of smearing his just-signed signatures.

Many years ago I had him sign my ticket from his no-hitter. His smeared thumbprint is in the inscription. I did not think it was intentional, but I have seen many similar examples since.
