Not vintage, but I just completed a fun mini-autograph project that I have considered doing for a while now.

The summer of 1968 was an important one for me and baseball. I spent a good portion of the summer of 1968 vacationing in Michigan with my grandparents.

Even though I'm from So Cal and the California Angels were the team that I usually rooted for, the Detroit Tigers became "my second favorite team" in 1968. I attended my first game at Tiger Stadium that year and followed many of their games on TV that summer. The Tigers had a group of characters on the '68 squad that had swagger. Too cool!

1968 also was the "Year of the Pitcher" and Denny McLain became the last pitcher to ever win 30 games (the first in over 30 years in baseball). During Denny's 31st win he served up the legendary Mickey Mantle's second to the last HR as he was winding down his legendary HOF career in late September.

Perhaps like many families, my grandparents made a ritual of saving all of their old automobile license plates in the garage of one of their cottages up on Lake Huron. Although my grandfather passed away a few years ago, I'm fortunate enough to still have a grandmother that will be turning 102 soon. :eek:

Anyway, a few years ago I was eyeballing the 1968 set of license plates.
It dawned on me that it would be cool to have Denny McLain sign my grandparent's license plate with his ubiquitous 31-6 inscription. This would be a perfect memorial to the summer of '68 and the World Champion Detroit Tigers that sparked my interest in the game! :)

Here is how it turned out for those that care to look:

Sorry, Tom. That lot was a reprieve for 12 years ago selling my GOT advertising card that had most of the same signatures on it.

Scott - that's a great pick-up! That was a fantastic year for baseball, and the '68 World Series is still my favorite.

[esiason14]

Beautiful stuff so far!

I've been on a bit of a modern kick recently. Received this in-person via another helpful member.

Scott,
I love that idea with your grandparents license plate. What a great memory and beautiful way to remember a great summer in your childhood. Nice piece, great story.

That Trevor Hoffman card is cool. Scott, that is a very creative and meaningful piece. That is what collecting should be about. Ironically while we were PMing earlier my son called me and told me that Edgar was signing at a store just down the street from my house. I have a Type I 1993 photo of Edgar that I had always wanted signed. I raced out of the house and was lucky enough to be one of his last autograph requests. He was as classy in person as I imagined him to be. I cannot believe almost 20 years have passed since Edgar, Junior, and Randy saved baseball here.

Kyle,
I like your choice on the card that you had Aaron sign.
I also believe that his signature looks better than many recent examples that I have seen. Nice!

Picked this one up from Memory Lane Auctions last night. Their extended bidding system made for a long night, but I got a great deal. This one is a duplicate for me, but I couldn't pass it up.

Really proud to add these to my collection. The bottom cut is dated '55 on the front and has sandlot game rules by some kid, "two base hit right of telephone pole."

I just picked up this circa 1953-1954 era Warren Giles NL ball signed by no-hit pitcher Jim Wilson. Jim Wilson pitched a no-hitter on June 12, 1954 at Milwaukee Braves.

Although Wilson's signature is findable on a GPC or 3 x 5, finding him on a single signed ball is quite unusual indeed.

This ball was recently found by an eBay seller in Wisconsin (not a shock) at an estate sale. The best part of all is that the ball cost only $14.00 in a BIN.
Awesome!! :cool:

[gregr2]

So happy to pick this up!! 8 x 10!!

This would be my best guess having been there , Cresent Park Later known as Huggins /Stengel field the Yanks left there in 1962 but still practiced there , it is really out of the way and to the best of my knowledge became the 1962 Mets first spring training facility.

My autograph pickup from the weekend, nothing special but for $25 couldn't pass it up. (Even came with an 8 by 10 photo of Whitey). A signed 1963 Topps card of Whitey Ford cert from JSA. Only thing I don't like about the card is that someone had it laminated after it was signed by Ford.

This one arrived yesterday. I already have a Gomez in my collection. However, I couldn't resist the opportunity to pick up a vintage version. I hope I didn't make a mistake. If I did I'll be disappointed but not bankrupt:o It's signed in what appears to be fountain pen ink and I assume it dates to 1942 based on the Health patch on Lefty's sleeve? The style of G in this one is different than what I have seen in more contemporary versions of his signature.

Obtaining vintage autographs is new to me. A vast majority of my collection is comprised of signatures I obtained myself. I recently obtained a 1941 Satchel Paige autographed photo and have since been drawn to vintage signed photographs. However, I have very little knowledge of this area of collecting and don't want to be foolish with my limited resources. I took a risk buying this Gomez without educating myself. Based on eBay sales I see that Gomez isn't a very rare autograph or expensive. How much of a premium is placed on vintage autographs?

[Lordstan]

Mike,
The basic answer is yes. It would be more, but how much is more difficult gauge. The answer to this question widely varies depending upon multiple variables.
1) Who is the signature? A Babe Ruth "Rookie" era signature might very well command a premium, whereas if it were Bob Veale(sorry Bob), not so much.
2)What is signed? A signed 1952 Topps Mantle with a c1952 sig would likely command a significant premium over a modern signed one in sharpie.
3) How much are you willing to pay? If you're looking to put together a collection of autos, like a whole team, and you only want sigs from that time frame, you'll likely be willing to pay more for it.

Best,
Mark

I agree that vintage signatures will have a premium added to them just by their very nature of being vintage. Full name vintage signatures definitely will have a premium on them . The " premium" is definitely player and type of i item and era dependent. The average HOFers vintage signature should not be in my opinion more than 2-3 times their later or nickname signature. But this is arbitrary and by no means a rule. Again it is all player , era, and item specific . I personally will always try to add a vintage full name signature of a HOFer to my collection whenever I find one no matter how many signatures I have of that player. Also by vintage I mean early career no matter the era in which they played.

Thanks for all of the feedback I greatly appreciate it!

I've pretty much cut down my collecting to finishing up existing projects, and will probably eventually just limit myself to Mantle signed magazines, hof baseballs and sigs in my hof book. With that said, I just got my 61 Yankees project back from the framers. This includes everyone that put on a uniform in 61 (except batboys), both owners, coaches, announcers and even the trainer. 15 of the sigs are on my 61 yearbook, the Mantle is on a 61 World Series Review magazine, and my favorite is the 62 Maris Post BB card with his 61 stats on the front. Next up will be the 60 Pirates which should be framed up in July, with or without Danny Whelan the Pirates trainer.

Wow, Mike! That looks terrific. Congrats on competing it! :cool:

Thanks Scott! I've really enjoyed putting together complete collections from famous teams, but the reality is that there are a couple that I've started that will never be finished. I've got several sigs from the 1919 Blacksox and 27 Yankees, but I'll never finish them. I think I'll mat the Blacksox sigs I have around a nice litho that I've had forever and call that one a day as well. The 27 Yankees I think I'll mat a couple of sigs with cards in multiple small frames and fill in an area above my window. That will leave the 34 gashouse gang (need 2 more autographs...not hard, just haven't got them yet), the 69 Cubs (that one is pretty easy) and of course the 60 Pirates.

[daves_resale_shop]

Got this early Larry Berra from a board member a few weeks back. Unfortunately I promised it to a friend prior to getting it framed and matted....I figured I would share it while I still own it!

Please pardon a duplicate post in another thread, but this is a May pickup.

Here are pages from an autograph book that was originally purchased from a veteran sailor of World War II approx. 20 years ago. It would appear that he was one of those that attended the 1944 Army Navy Championship Series.

29 players that played in the Major League signed these pages in black steel tipped fountain pen.

Eight of these players would go on to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame and 6 were New York Yankees and the other 2 Brooklyn Dodgers.

The HOF players that signed include:
Pee Wee Reese, Joe Gordon, Joe Dimaggio, Bill Dickey, Billy Herman, Red Ruffing, Johnny Mize & Phil Rizzuto.

The other 21 Major Leaguers include:
Johnny Vander Meer (the only pitcher to throw back to back no-hitters - 1938), Virgil "Fire" Trucks (2x All-Star, 2x WS champ & threw 2 no-hitters in 1952 with the Detroit Tigers), Schoolboy Rowe (played in 3 WS & 3x All-Star), Hugh Casey (played in 2 WS), Barney McCosky (hit .312 for his career & played in the WS), Walter Judnich (played in the 1948 WS), Mickey Vernon (played in the majors for 20 yrs, hit .286, 7x All-Star, 2x batting champ, led A.L. In doubles 3x) and Gene Woodling (played 17 yrs in the majors, won 5 WS championship with the Yankees, had a batting average of .284 & a WS batting average of .318.

A total of 48 autographs of World War II veterans signed these pages (29 MLB players). Pages measure 8" x 11

Originally I was going to but in the end I'm really not interested in the bat boys on any team...even famous teams. I started asking myself, where do you draw the line? I was even thinking of adding Sal Durante for catching Maris's 61'st, but changed my mind on that one as well.

Two items I found in Switzerland during the 'Large Ass' Herzog tour of the Alps.

TLS written by Jackson Scholz in 1982. He is one of the athletes featured in the movie 'Chariots of Fire'. He won the silver medal in the 100m at the 1924 Olympics in Paris. He won gold in the 200m. He also won a gold in the 4x100m at the 1920 games in Antwerp. Makes mention of the movie in the last paragraph.

Clipped signature of Jack Lovelock. He won a gold medal in the 1500m at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, beating American Glenn Cunningham. A New Zealander, he practiced medicine in New York City. It is speculated that he suffered a dizzy spell when he fell on the subway tracks and was killed by a train in Brooklyn in 1949.

Sean - Thanks for sharing the poster. It is always interesting to see non-sports collectibles.
