I went down to AC yesterday without having a current wantlist* and thinking I might end up getting nothing. But then I saw this. It's triple signed (it has an endorsement on the back) which doesn't really matter to me, but I guess is a good thing.
It's now the only autograph in my collection aside from a couple of cards I like that happen to be signed. As a Mets fan for 40+ years the Kiner's Korner Inc. (Kiner's Korner was the postgame show after Mets TV broadcasts) and Shea Stadium address were the key features. I know he must have signed a lot of checks and I'm sure it's not rare, but it's one of those things where I would be thinking "I liked that and should have gotten it" if I hadn't picked it up. So, a good impulse buy, I guess.
* Except for a Diamond Stars Ducky Medwick ... the last DS HOFer I need. I asked a good number of dealers, including some with huge databased inventories, but I remain Ducky-less.
