Posted By: <b>DJ</b><p>Kerouac spent most of his life loafing and traveling. <br /><br />He bought the house for his mama in Florida and eventually moved in there...so basically, she lived with him. He did have some jobs, worked in food services, construction sites and was a sport reporter. <br /><br />Kerouac was a pioneer on another front. In the 1950's, he invented an interactive baseball game which resembles closely Fantasy Baseball. <br /><br />DJ

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."

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>DJ- you just jogged a distant memory when you mentioned the baseball game that Kerouac invented. But I don't know any details. Can you fill them in?<br /><br />Kerouac spent his last years on Long Island, in the town of Northport, where he died in 1969. There are still people there who remember him, but all of their memories have to do with seeing him drunk at some bar. Other than writing the great American novel, and hanging out with Ginsberg, Burroughs, and Casady, he had a pretty rough life.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>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.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>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).

Posted By: <b>sean</b><p>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 <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Jon Canfield</b><p>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.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>I acquired this Dan Daniel's book back in the early 1980's from an antique dealer that had many other BB player<br /> autographs on various items that an elderly gentleman brought into his shop. This collection included items with<br /> many ballplayers from the 1920's thru '30s. Hofers and lesser known players. So, it looked good to me, especially<br /> the way the word "Sincerely" was inscribed. As, I had seen that style of Ruth's signature quite a few times.<br /><br />Back in the 1990's, I was set-up next to Jimmy Spence at the Cooperstown Show during HOF weekend. I knew Jim-<br />my would be there, so I brought this book (and some other autographs in my collection) with me and he examined it.<br /> Jimmy told me this signature was real....and, that's all I needed to know. I am satisfied that he says it is authentic. <br />Other's may differ....but, that's not my problem.<br /><br />Thanks Jon, for inquiring.<br /><br />TED Z

Posted By: <b>Jon Canfield</b><p>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).
