My friend Ted Patterson, longtime Baltimore sports media personality who died several years ago, had an amazing and diverse collection, much of which has been auctioned off by LOTG. One day we were in one of his many rooms filled to the brim with mind-boggling stuff, when I saw a stack of a hundred or more exhibits just sitting on a shelf with a rubber band around them. I picked it up and started riffling through them, one hall of famer after another, all signed. I said, "Don't tell me..." and Ted answered, "Yep, they'r'e all signed."
