T206Collector...didn't Joe Dimaggio once go hang out in his basement and just sign anything Halper handed him? I think he had that kind of relationship with a lot of Yankees and other players.
Reminds me of a baseball card store in Santa Barbara, CA during the summer of 1994. I walked in, and the store owner was just speechless because Wayne Gretsky had just been there with the owner of the Kings -- and Gretsky just started signing everything in the store with his likeness on it. I recall going over to the wall and seeing a Gretsky signature on a magazine cut out at that had his picture on it that was taped to the wall.
