Purchased a few upgrades to my collection, as I always love official documents. Plus, picked up a Dinneen-just in case he gets in this year...

1951 Yankees team signed ball. Bad Joe D but a nice rookie year Mickey Mantle.

#231- El Maestro! You can see a real one compared to the CC ball in the other thread.

I know, I am always picking up Joe DiMaggio signatures, but I couldn't resist this one.
The postmark on the back of the signature is September 7, 1940. On that day, the Yankees beat the Red Sox 4-3, and Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams each hit home runs.

Never heard of Joe DiMaggio but awesome pick up because of the Ted Williams connection.;) Nice pick up on the Joe Torre bat also.

These two were close friends and were in Dallas together when Elvis did a show there, Oct 11, 1956.
They signed these album pages.

Letter from Mickey Cochrane to his wife, sent during WWII. Oddly, two of these letters appeared in auctions in the same month! This one had the envelope, though.

Ramiro Cuevas Guzman

Letter dated May 4, 1953, three months before he did something 'big'. Anyone know? (not in the major leagues).

Did Guzman pitch a perfect game in the Mexican League?

Yes, he pitched their first one (August, 1953). I just stuck this on ebay, ending Sunday.

#232-Nice full name signature.

Also got to meet a potential future superstar Kris Bryant. FYI-We had pregame access to the Cubs and no-one was around when he signed this. Asked for a full name signature and politely told "no"

That's a beautiful Cuyler sig...always enjoyed his signature style. I have met Kris a couple times outside the ballpark and it seems like he always does the rushed sig now...except for his now employer "fanatics," which you can pay a premium for a more consistent sig. However, I think yours still looks really good...some are hard to even make out now.

Just acquired from Republicaninmass....don't have it in hand but pretty excited to add it to my signed 1957 set. Already had a Giants team card signed by Hoyt Wilhlem and one by "Red" Schoendienst but this was unique enough that I couldn't pass on.

http://net54baseball.com/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=19086

After his playing career, Carl Hubbell joined the Giants front office as farm director in 1944 and stayed with the team until 1977.

No its a company called Historic Autographs. They have some killer signed tobacco combinationAtions but the packs are very expensive. I lucked out with this on the bay :)

Nothing rare or old but my wife obtained this for me while volunteering at a golf charity last week. I really like the montage, and have very fond memories of the result (still can't believe they didn't work around him and face Van Slyke with a lefty).

Original Charles Schulz drawing of Snoopy as a "dog of the cloth". Originally done by Schulz as a gift to a clergyman friend who in turn gave it to another clergyman upon the first one's passing.

As a big fan of the strip and of the dog, happy to add this to my collection.

I have been looking for one of these for a while now. Finally got a nice one. Funny thing is that 35 of the 36 people pictured signed it. The only one that didn't???

Bobby Doerr

GAH!! I know he still signed TTM but there is zero chance I am sending this to him. Is he well enough that he does any public appearances? Was he at the HOF induction ceremony last year??

I figured. Was hoping if he was still signing TTM that maybe he made it out there possibly. Oh well. Guess it'll remain 35 of 36.

Of all the guys not to have signed. Doerr?? He signed everything. Apparently still does at age 97 but I can't get this piece to him.

Dammit.

Fly to Junction City Oregon and ring his doorbell. I am being serious, I did this with Al Lopez back in 1997, he couldn't have been any nicer (although I did write first to let him know I was coming).

The piece is so nice that it would a shame to be short Doerr's signature to complete it. I would send a letter or call him and explain the situation and see if there is a good solution for you. You would be surprised how many older HoFers and ballplayers have/had their phone numbers listed. It would be worth a try in my opinion.
