His signature at 101 years old is better than the chicken scratch the multi millionaire guys scribble by far!

If he was a true collector, he would've said, "Why aren't the corners of these '1951' cards you made of me rounded, you frickin' hacks??!!!"

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Born in 1923, imagine his front row seat to some of baseballs greatest players, teams and games…

Great stuff, Brian! Thanks for sharing. I wish I could sign my name as as smoothly as Lee Sassi did, and I'm only 80.

Default I'm 93 years old

and still collecting, but this guy beats all. Especially the Bronze and Silver Stars. I was too young for WWII, but I did serve as a Battalion Intelligence Officer with the 188th Parachute Infantry Regiment at Fort Campbell and later Korea. The worst thing that happened to me was that I was bitten by a dog that died of rabies, and I spent two weeks at the 11th Evac Hospital.
