The Official Hank Greenberg Pick Up Thread - All Things Hank!

[holybull]

Hello! Michael here....don't know if this has been done but thought maybe it would fun to consolidate Greenberg items in one place to make them easier to find. I have been collecting for a few years now with my friend Brian Roth, who a lot of you guys know by the name of Zan on here. We share a passion for all things Hank and are trying to make a Master Set for him. Brian and I will post things on here as we get them and include pieces from our collection. I would love to see any rare items... especially signed pieces, vintage cards and SSP modern issues. Please feel free to post anything interesting on here related to Hank, tell stories or whatever you wish. Thanks, Michael and Brian.

Here is an old Polaroid type photo signed by Hank and sent to SGC just before they stopped authenticating autographs......How do you guys feel about SGC getting out of the Auto Authentication business?? I think it stinks as I get a lot of Hank stuff slabbed for my Registry set.....If they want to compete with PSA they will have to offer something similar.....

This is the photo from my avatar. Greenberg with, I believe, Harry Heilman at spring training in Tiger Town, circa early 1940's.



And another one of Hank at ST:



These came from a photo scrapbook that a friend had whose cousin was a bellhop at one of the hotels in Lakeland.
