Maybe you just have to be Canadian to get that one, Rob.

Ok
Now I'm issuing the Early Warning about the Permanent Wave of Puns approaching on Rush song titles.
Allow me to continue.
I appreciate how his signed ball collection is in Subdivisions. (ie HOF pitchers, presidents)
I guess when your a Working Man in a Big Wheel rock group like Rush, you can spend the Big Money on an item like the Mathewson ball.
Next!

Also, Isn't it a little strange that a born and bred canadian guy collects US president signed balls.

As far as collecting U.S. Presidents on baseballs...who knows, maybe he was just "In the Mood".

well if Geddy tried to collect balls signed by Canadians, we wouldn't have much to talk about. I'd like to see is trailer park boys stuff... maybe he has a Bubbles and Kitty signed ball!

He certainly doesn't appear to be a fly by night collector.

Default Jackson bats
If you look at the Mears index for Joe Jackson bats, there is a 2007 LOA that says that there are only two "full signiture model Joe Jackson bats" that can be attributed to his playing days. In 2008, however, they authenicated / opinionated three different Joe Jackson bats and attribute them all to his playing days. So that makes at least 4 and there are maybe 5. There are also numerous store models, post-career, cork grip, and YMCA bats. There are also a few Black Betsy's without a Jackson signiture or block letters.

Very interesting, Mark -- thanks for the info! It wasn't so much that I
was doubting the "1 of 2" claim, just that sometimes collectors are misled,
or new examples show up in the hobby. Regardless, Geddy has an
historical piece of lumber in his bat rack.

Although I'd have the Freewill to buy a bat like that for my collection,
there's a Ghost of a Chance that I'd ever have Big Money like that.

Default bats
Hi,
It's also important to bear in mind that Mears is not the only business that authenticates bats, so if you consulted PSA/DNA they might have a few more specimens from the playing days. Anyway, Geddy has good taste. Who knew? I sure wish I had a Jackson bat. When I was a kid, I found some old bats in my grandfather's basement, and one of them was a vintage Black Betsey softball bat. I like it but it doesn't cut much ice in the collecting world, I'd guess.

Just saw this thread, surprised at the number of Rush fans.

Geddy Lee donated a big collection of autographed balls to the Negro Leagues Hall of Fame a few years ago, if I remember correctly.

Pretty cool stuff, CW - thanks for sharing (and I hope you're doing well, it's been a while).

Side note - just caught Rush in Jersey last week, they played "Moving Pictures" from start to finish. I brought my 10-year-old Rush fanatic son with me, he was astounded.

-Al
