Also, I had a tremendous conversation with Phil Rizzuto while flying in 1st class with Phil to Chicago in April 1984. For 2 hours, we covered about everything and everyone
in BB during the timeline from 1947 to 1964. Plus we talked about our neighborhood. Phil lived only 2 blocks away from me when I was a kid growing up in Hillside, NJ.

I started doing shows as a dealer when I was 14. Rizzuto was the guest at a mall show I was doing at age 15. I didn't have anything to get signed, but I grew up watching him in Money Store commercials. I took a piece of poster board and a Sharpie, and whipped up a portrait which I then got signed. He loved it and the story, and even though I am a die-hard Dodger fan it may be the only untouchable item that I own. If I remember I'll bring it to Philly and share!
