Here's mine.. My Babe Ruth I purchased last year from the original owner who got it as an 11 year old boy. Have a letter from him and the article from his local newspaper about when he got it.
I've wanted to own a Babe Ruth autograph for so long and last year I had the opportunity to purchase one after selling my 1935 Ohio State-Michigan program that was signed by practically the whole 1935 OSU team. I was sad to give up such a nice program, but it allowed me to add the piece to my collection that I had been longing for since I began collecting.

That's a terrific story to go with a great Ruth autograph, Matt. Hard to beat having an old newspaper article and letter tying it all together!

And although my dear friend Mark has about a gazillion autographs, I have a hunch on what his favorite is going to be. It also happens to be displayed in a terrific piece of folk art as well.
Here's mine. Gehrig and Ruth are my main collecting focus and my name is Jimmy, so that makes this a pretty easy choice for me...
