July Auto Pickup

[TUM301]

Being a life long New Englander grew up a fan of all the local teams. Picked up this 1968-69 period autographed snapshot of Bobby Orr. When younger fans ask me about him all I can say is "he was Jordan before Jordan".

That's great.

I saw Orr play against the California Golden Seals at the Oakland Coliseum...

You are correct with your Jordan analogy.

I've been looking for this and the Sport magazine with Robinson and Reese on the cover for quite awhile. I actually missed out on the Sport magazine twice, but this is the first one of these I've found. Magazine and autograph are very clean. This has been a good year for me so far.

Couple more things in the mail late yesterday. Bob Borkowski of the 1955 Dodgers (that makes 12 single signed balls from the team) and I also was able to upgrade my Goose Goslin autograph thanks to Seattlerainiers on the B/S/T board (Thanks again Dave!).

Had the spoke, but picked up the lewis and the hooper this month... Cobb called it the greatest outfield he ever saw...

Wow! Love it!

Finally picked up a Gavvy Cravath autograph and put it on the CooperstownExpert.com website. The Deadball Era's home run king, Cravath led the league in homers six times and finished third twice.

When Cravath retired from baseball he became a judge and served Laguna Beach for 36 years. He led quite a life.

I'd put him in a group with baseball's first 30-homer/30-steal guy Ken Williams, slugger Cy Williams, and Indian Bob Johnson as guys who had intriguing careers but fall short of Cooperstown.

If you have time, check out my website. It has a page for every Hall of Famer, and pages for almost another 300 guys not in the Hall.

Stay healthy everyone!

Nice one, Dave! Very cool

I've been focusing on hall of famer (from all sports) autos on modern insert cards. This is one I should have gotten a long time ago, but I finally added a Kobe.
