Scott, I thoroughly enjoyed your story about the 'almost perfect' game. Thanks for sharing this - almost makes up for the gut-wrenching feel after the event itself!

After just looking at an '05 Yankees ball, these are very refreshing.

Nice McGowan ball, one thing about McGowan that I could never figure out is why he had 2 totally different types of signatures. I recently bought a McGowan letter with a signature similar to your ball, but got concerned as Ron K.'s book makes no mention/illustration of that signature. I feel better after seeing your purchase.
Perhaps Jim can enlighten us with Bill's signature variations. |

It looks as if he had a "professional" signature and a "ball park" or "fan" signature. The signature on this ball is what I have mostly seen on formal letters and other items that may have been signed for someone of importance. Hopefully, Jim can give more background.

Tazdmb,
Love the Lieb/Gehringer/Heilmann signed book. I always try to squirrel them away when the price is right. Last edited by HexsHeroes; 06-28-2013 at 08:21 AM. |

Thanks,
How many of these do you have? I am trying to find out more information about the signing, apparently it was at The Boston Store? (Per AH) but that is all the information I have. Any light you could shed would be appreciated. Go State! (My alma mater) |

I was very close to bidding on this book. I'm glad I didn't seeing that it added to your impressive HOF collection. Good work!

This is not something I received this month, but seeing the phantom Perez Steele cards on this thread reminded me of a phantom Marvin Miller HOF postcard I have in my collection. I came across this mock up of Miller's HOF plaque many years ago, and since I knew he wasn't going to be inducted before his death, I thought it would be cool to get him to sign it. I resized the photo and gave it a yellow background to match the modern day HOF plaque postcards, and mailed it off to him in NYC. I have 2 or 3 in my collection signed at different times, can't remember the exact number. The first time I sent to him, the Mitchell Report had just been released. In my letter, I mentioned how I was disappointed that so many of today's big stars were named in the report. Boy was that the wrong thing to say! I received a note back from him written on three index cards ripping me a new one in a nice way. I'll post the note for you guys to see, if I can find it.

My newest pickup in a trade from Gnaz.(Thanks Greg)
I always wanted one of these, but they always seemed to come up when I didn't have the money. Worked out a great trade for it. Here is what it looked like when I got it. Ty Cobb check I don't care for the PS cards framed, so I removed the check and printed a print of one of my favorite Kreindler's to go with it. Here is what it looks like after I reframed it. I think a bit more fitting for the "King of Swing" Best, Mark

Fittingly, I just received this in the mail today from a fellow collector in a trade. It really caps off a great month of June for me, I was able to fill some significant holes in my projects namely my 1927 Pirates, I found my Joe Dawson. Today, I was able to scratch one off my list of Yankees Captains with this Everett Scott:

tazdmb,
I should have four or five copies, plus two others with with only Lieb's signature, and two more with just Lieb & Gehringer's signatures (not sure why Heilmann is lacking from those copies). One of the copies signed by all three came with an original newspaper advertisement announcing the appearance of Lieb, Gehringer, and Heilmann at a Detroit-area Hudson's Department store. The seller of this particular signed book copy was under the impression that was where thee signatures were obtained. But he was not the original owner of the book, so it might have been conjecture based on the inclusion of the newpaper ad among it's pages when he obtained it. I will try to locate that book copy and the advertisement. Not sure when it might be at the moment. EDITED: I just realized that I do not have the advertisement. I believe the seller told me about the ad but he retained the original (why ?). I should have asked him to mailed me a photocopy of the advertisement but it failed to cross my mind at the time. In hindsight, I wish I had. Last edited by HexsHeroes; 07-02-2013 at 08:49 AM. |
