I nearly bought this in Boston last year. I appreciate the post Travis. A truck load of variations in his 1939-1940 signatures. Who the hell knows in the end.

Yeah, it's odd how many things are different in Ted's autograph during that period. Last night I placed four examples next to each other and there were some very odd differences that would not have come naturally for him - concerted effort to change the direction he moved his pen, or some of them were not done by him.

Looks like the Ted Williams auction brought in $3.5 million

It was a kick-ass auction - Hunt seemed to do everything right. I feel extremely lucky to have come away with three lots.
