I, too, use signed baseballs, etc.

. . . to fill in (temporarily, I hope) for a player's autograph in my collection. I kinda lump this idea with using a signed team sheet or postcard, which may have multiple autographs on it, to fill several names for me.
It can be a humbling hobby, especially when one views the diminutive scale of my collection versus those of other collectors. Jodi's efforts, and many like him, far surpass my small holding of autographs, as I seek to attain an example from each of the 560 or so former ballplayers to don a Detroit Tigers uniform, prior to 1946. But it is the meager reach of my task that also keeps me both hopeful and sane.
