Those are some cool letters Dan. I've got this one on it's way to me
Pretty rough condition as its a magazine photo that has been glued into a scrapbook page and cut out, but it has a beautiful signature of an American sports icon, Jackie Robinson |

I have been collecting signed Perez-Steele post cards for over 25 years and was really disappointed when they stopped issuing the set a little over 10 years ago. I'm down to needing just the big dogs to have every possible post card that could be signed. Recently, I was looking through old REA catalogs and saw that last year the original Dick Perez paintings for most everyone enshrined since 2001 were sold at auction. Each of the paintings, in the style of the original post cards, was there for me to see and when I Googled the images on the internet, they were in surprisingly good resolution. So I decided to print each of the "unreleased" paintings out on 4x6 glossy photo paper and create my own extended set...here's the first one I've gotten back...
It would be an understatement to say I'm reinvigorated to pick up autographs of Ripken, Ozzie, Ryne, et al...

Big Six,
I was scrolling through this post quickly on my phone, saw the Boggs pic and thought "wtf?!?". Not to pat myself on the back, but I thought I was the smartest guy out there assembling these and that one day when the project was over I would post them all on message boards and everyone would be blown away. Ive been getting them printed at Walgreens and they come out beautifully. The best part is if you lose one in the mail, youre out nine cents. Looks like Ive got some competition..... |

I finally found my Joe Dawson signature for my 1927 Pirates collection!!! Just about gave up hope of ever finding one and boom! Even better because it's the only one I've ever seen from his playing days. Won this last night in a 1920's Clean Sweep lot:

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.
