.....is it remotely possible that the signatures are actual autographs ? They were in a collection of old postcards I bought a long time ago ; when did the broad-tip "pen" become widespread ? I know squat of the autograph world . Thanks for any answers , regards , MikeGarcia

Picked up my 3rd Piedmont Factory 42 off e-bay last week. Won it the day my e-bay bucks hit, so it only cost me a fraction of winning bid :D Has back stamp ( Garwood Jaynes ) which as many of you know, I actually like back stamps. Sorry for the fuzzy scans...

I am uber excited to have picked up this early (earliest?) Buck Ewing. There are plenty of notable HOFers on this complete 1885 Harper's Weekly Woodcut:

bcbgcbrcb
07-10-2012, 06:16 AM
Very nice pick-up, Derek, I used to own that one and loved it with all of the HOF'ers. There is an individual woodcut of Ewing pictured in an 1882 issue of the New York Clipper, had that one too and sold it a little while back. I believe that there is also an earlier c1880 Troy team photograph out there, that one is sure to cost in the thousands, maybe even five-figures.

Well, picked up this signed Jimmie Foxx 1938 Goudey Heads Up for a steal on the bay in looking at comparables. It got certified through PSA/DNA (which I don't care, I want a slab protection on the card). And would like to give Jim and Richard a shout out again for their help. Will post pics in slab upon receipt.

ahh the barely there sig, i thought the price was ok...and then u have to add into psa/dna fees. the comparables are probably fully legible playball sigs.

Sig looks waaaaaaay better in person, not even close really. $300 for a Foxx signed pre-war card, I'll take it any day of the week. And submission was $20 for get autograph authenticated. So around $50. Card had a nicer signature, well over $1k, but I'm never going to sell it.

Only pre-war signed Foxx card I'll ever be able to afford.

07-10-2012, 02:53 PM
i didn't know they only charge $20 for a foxx sig, i will have to contact them about other similar sigs like speaker and lajoie.

if the card had a fully legible sig I would've bidded 1k since i collect foxx stuff. nice pu either way.

Don't go through PSA/DNA or you'd have to pay for a premium on signatures like that. If you go through PSA Card it's just $20 (you check a box on submission form). If it is on a card that is. I'm glad it didn't have a fully legible autograph because I wouldn't have been able to get it lol. Thanks!

Foxx through PSA/DNA would have been $75 alone. JSA $150.

Just finished my 1924-25 Aguilitas Segundas set thanks to Jeff Mohler. I put out my request for the last two cards I needed a few days ago and Jeff responded within hours that he had both cards and was willing to trade them to me. He was extremely accomodating, we quickly reached a deal, and I got the cards yesterday. You simply could not find a better trading partner.

I can't say enough about how nice it was to deal with Jeff. He epitomizes BST class and helpfulness. Once again, thank you so much!!! Hopefully at some point I will be able to return the favor.

Alright, here's my Foxx in the slab, next post will be my insane purchase

HOF Auto Rookies
07-19-2012, 01:09 PM
Alright folks, the moment a lot of you have been waiting for and asking what my huge purchase was going to be. I kept it quiet to ensure that I got it, and boy did I ever get it. This was a once in a lifetime purchase for me, a Lou Gehrig autographed 1933 DeLong rookie card (yes I know all the banter for rookies, but if the 33 Goudey can be a rookie, why can't this. All that matters is I consider it one).

Never thought I would own a Gehrig signed card. He had a five year window to sign this, I consider this to be one of the rarest and most difficult signed cards of a HOF'er to obtain based on how difficult it would be to get him to sign this before his disease took his toll in '39 when he stopped signing.

I know autograph is faint, card is not in the best shape, but I don't give a damn, it's a Lou Gehrig autographed rookie card!!!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do, so enjoy!

I posted this one on the other side, but wanted to show it off here as well. Even though the Cravats are ugly as sin and most people wouldn't consider them to be a "baseball card," they are probably my all-time favorite issue. They are pretty scarce too. A few years can go by without seeing one, so I am really happy to add another one to the collection. Thanks again, Dan!

So I realize that these reach guide photos arent worth much, but I think they re pretty cool considering their age and relative affordability... This is a 4x6 of the 1899 louisville team which included notables Honus Wagner, Rube waddell, & Fred Clarke... It also doesn't hurt to have a good custom framer who knows how to bring these things to life!!!
