Brendan, yes I bought it as a circa 1914 Fenway RPPC and did my due diligence. As to value, I don't think anyone can really tell me. I wouldn't be shocked by almost any amount, low or high, there are simply no comps.

And yes, the HOF made it clear they when they were assisting me with my research that they would love to have this in their collection if I am ever so inclined.

I know it isn't him, but that sure looks like Hughie Jennings "eee yah" pose on the first base line :)

Friendly bump. Anybody pick up anything this past weekend that "could be in the Hall of Fame"?

Not from this weekend, but this might have a shot. A deadball (from 1914-1917, I believe) signed by a deadball HOFer...

Came across this old thread and had a blast going through it. It's a couple of years ago so I imagine there are many other pieces that can be added, and many people who never saw it.

To keep the post on point, I'll include these 2. They are the first 2 Minor League contracts signed by Roy Campanella with the Dodgers. The first was to play in Danville, but that idea got nixed so he signed a new contract a few weeks later to play in Nashua (where he ultimately played).

Campanella was either the 3rd or 4th Black player to sign a contract.

Great stuff in this thread.

Since this thread is old, I figured we maybe could add an add'l piece(?)

If so, here's my Derek Jeter 1996 Game Used & Signed Rookie Bat.

"Hit into our Yard - October 23, 1927" Inscription

Signed by Babe, Lou, and Lefty O Doule

Official American League Baseball (1927)

Hit either in San Francisco or Oakland..... the story this ball could tell.

That's incredible. We may have a winner. I'm assuming Joe Jackson actually signed it? I can't tell from that pic, but it doesn't look like his wife Katherine signed it...
Updating this old thread. Went to the HOF and saw the Scrapbook-has some incredeble signatures including Jake Beckley, Hank O'day and Frank Chance...to name a few. However, there are several Jackson autographs in there that all appear to be secretarial. I have pictures....somewhere.

If not the Hall of fame,,,maybe the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame , Full tickets to the 1st ever official game played outside the United States.
