January Autograph pickups

[Scott Garner]

Scott,
What year is the Braves team ball? Very nice condition, BTW.
It looks like it was signed yesterday...

It's 1971. Many of these fresh-looking balls come from groups where many were signed for team p.r. projects and those that weren't spoken for were stored away, or they went to players who stored them away and they didn't see daylight again until the player died or went broke.

My 1967 Astros ball was part of a p.r. thing where they signed more balls than they needed. It cost me much more than I wanted to pay, but it's almost perfect.

On its way to me. Jocko Conlan autographed book to Lou Boudreau

Here is a recent pickup:

A Johnny Vander Meer fountain pen 1938 GPC that was signed just 2 weeks after his historic back-to-back no-hitters on 6/11/38 and 6/15/38.

I believe I saw this on either a different thread or forum. Regardless, still pretty sweet!

I am sending this over to Richard Simon for authentication. IF it is a genuine Ruth and IF it is not traced over, it will be available for sale shortly. 1920 Babe Ruth with others including Lefty O'Doul, Fred Hofmann, Carl Mays, Herb Thormahlen and what looks to me to be Jeff Tesreau.
