HOF Autograph Collection Question?

dgo71 · #1 02-23-2025, 02:22 AM

I can help get you started with these two Perez-Steele I have duplicates of. Both are in great shape with sharp corners, no creases, etc. The Marichal is his older signature when it was more fluid than the shaky signature he has today, and of course, McCovey passed away in 2018. They would be $25 each or $45 for the pair, plus S&H, feel free to message me if interested.

And good luck with your quest! HOF collecting is challenging but very rewarding, and it's a great way to learn about all of the players, execs, umpires, etc. that have been enshrined.

I've got a few extras of some of the easier signatures - Doerr, Brooks, Catfish, Billy Williams, Red Schoendienst, Palmer, Jenkins, Perry and the PS-Galleries card with Frank & Peggy Steele and Dick Perez.

Let me know if you have an interest and I can send you photos and prices, though all are fairly inexpensive.

Also have a few extras from the Celebration (Boudreau, Ferrell, Mize, Brooks, Slaughter and Snider) and Greatest Moments (Leonard, Mize) series.

Hey Tom,
I am all set for now as I have bought a bunch of the easier players so far. Thank you again for your offer. I appreciate it.

Hey guys,

I forgot to ask. I understand from reading the comments above that HOF signed 8x10s are heavily forged but may I ask, why are 8x10s in particular a highly forged item? (Why 8x10s vs other items?) Thanks

They're inexpensive and available in large quantities. If the forger screws one up, it's easily discarded, and on to the next one, versus having one shot at getting the forgery right on a Koufax RC, for example.

Very interesting. I never knew that but it makes sense. Thank you for your response. I appreciate it very much.
