Barry, I have a bunch of esoteric autographs but at least Kerouac was a major sports fan. I'll truck out my George Armstrong Custer autograph on another day. |

Dan, he lived with his mother at the time of his death -- he was a very serious momma's boy. |

Yeah...I knew that. I studied up a bit on him when I found one of his books at the Goodwill a few years ago for a quarter. Sold it on ebay for $120+. |

That's a nice return. Perhaps you should start a thread discussing the wonderful investment opportunities avaialable at goodwill? I'm a pretty huge Kerouac fan and collect first editions of all of his books. |

Kerouac was not in great health and was broke. Did the guy ever have a real job? When you're in that kind of shape, you live with your mother. |

I've been collecting for forty years. It's taken a long time to obtain the autographs of everyone who's autograph I wanted when I was fifteen. |

David, yeah, but still! Do you have a site which shows your autographs? I'm blown away. That Houdini..and the Ruth ball might be the cleanest I've ever seen..and Lincoln. I purchased an autogaphed Custer book a few years back and I remember thinking at the time, "I'm glad I'm not a Lincoln fanatic." |

Yeah, Kerouac died of a stomach hemorrhage due to heavey drinking. He was an angry drunken mess at the end. Incredibly sad story because he wrote some books that really impacted our culture 50 years ago and still today. |

Love your Chase 3x5, Jeff. I've got a Chase ALS, and a 3x5--both shakey--but I love the way he's addressed his infirmity in your note. Great! |

David, if you have anything else scanned and have some time, I'd love to see them. Do you travel to particular auctions for some of the Americana autographs? Or is it the usual suspects, i.e. Sothebys, etc? I remember about 10 years ago going to an American Historical Auctions auction in NYC and picking up a tremendous amount of CDVs of Sitting Bull, Sherman, Custer, etc. etc. I look back at that catalogue similarly to how I look at the Copeland catalogue: I wish I had the money back then that I have now (or a time machine). |

That W.C. Fields is really cool. He is my comic idol. I've seen all his films, many times each. |

Yeah, its form my fave scene in the cocnuts where harpo is drunk and keeps getting up from the table every time someone makes a speech. Its signed to their soundman. I have 2 signed to him and a third that was signed by all four to him sold for 10 grand last year. Mine are worth significantly less as the one you see has some damage and my other one literally is missing harpos face (why I have no idea). I am the biggest marx bros fan and that was the nicest harpoid ever seen |

Ted - has that Ruth book been authenticated (or at least gotten an opinion on it)? Although I'm an autograph collector and certainly NOT an expert, I was told of a forger using these books as a medium in the 1970's. I know of the story because of a signed Ruth picture I had purchased that then failed JSA, PSA and GAI. I was told that this man did a great job of signing both Ruth and Gehrig and all of his work was done in the 1970's. The prefered medium was the Ruth photo I had, a Gehrig photo and these books. |

In my opinion--and I've been collecting vintage New York Yankee material since the early 1960s--that Ruth is not good. |

Sounds good to me Ted. As I said - I'm no expert; just passing information along that I was told. Aside for the Ruth mentioned above that was no good, I also have a Ruth check and a 1935 team signed ball from spring training with Ruth, Gehrig, etc - and original photos of all signing (as well as having had the ball authenticated too). |
