Packs, that autograph almost makes me want to be a 'cuts' collector. But I still don't have that much faith.

Very cool piece.

I owned that Hoy once (before it was slabbed) and it is a REAL beauty. Very bold fountain pen ink and a cool notation of his career. Congrats on a great pickup!

I'm really excited about it. I felt like it was one lot that slipped through the cracks. I'm not a cuts collector either but I felt confident in it since it's actually a trimmed down GPC.

Picked up this signed 1922 E120 American Caramel card of Joe Hauser. So far its my oldest signed card, hope to get a signed T206 someday.

Was looking to get that (whom a fellow board member owns with some other great signed cards), but I got this instead (from a different fellow board member).

I had a pretty quiet November and was planning the same for December when I found the following.
For my signed magazines with Yankees on the cover collection, I picked up this very nice Dave Righetti no-hit magazine signed by several including Righetti and Zimmer.
For my famous/infamous events collection, I picked a 1976 game 5 ALCS ticket signed by Chris Chambliss. This will be matted along with a signed photo of him hitting the walkoff series winning HR.
And the most important pickup (Thank You, Thank You Jim Stinson), a Complete Karl Wingler questionairre dated 1960 of 1919 White Sox player Eddie Murphy. Eddie was a clean sox and got up 3 times during the 1919 series. Did I mention Thank You, Thank You Jim Stinson?

I actually got that card signed. Back in about 1989 I was looking all over for one and that was the only one I had any luck getting. I really didn't want a trimmed one but beggars Cant be choosers. Joe was a great signer and always wrote a little letter with the autograph. Glad to see it's still around

Default Dave Niehaus



I just picked up this team issued post card of Hall of Famer Dave Niehaus from 1983. The Mariners used to issue these for every player and coach for autograph requests and player appearances. According to the Earliest Collectibles of Baseball Hall of Famers thread, they list the earliest known Niehaus item was from 1995 so this pre-dates it by 12 years.

Around 12 years ago, a card shop that specialized in odd ball Seattle Mariners memorabilia showed me an example of this postcard (unsigned) and said that he had never seen one before in all his years of collecting. Since then this is the only other one I have seen (always in the market for Mariner postcards that I don't have). I wish that it was not personalized to James and by looking at it close I don’t see any way of removing the personalization.

Ok. So here are my latest additions.
Pretty pumped.
Also a very good lesson in patience.

In May, during Henry Yee's last ayction, many of you may remember that I bid and lost out on both the Dolph Camilli and KiKi Cuyler signed 1934 Goudeys. The Kuyler went for >$1900 and the Camilli for >$200.

Now I was really pissed about losing the Cuyler, as I had never seen one prior and was sure there couldn't be too many of these around. The Camilli made me mad because, really, who spends over $200 on a Dolph Camilli auto?

One of the most valuable lessons my father taught me about collecting is to be patient. He would point out that very few things are truly one of a kind. If you've seen one, another will come up in the future.

He is correct again and as it turned out I didn't have to wait another 20yrs to find them. Plus I saved about $400 combined as compared to the prices of the ones in May.

Last month I picked up Camilli.




A couple of weeks ago I won this Cuyler in the Collect Auction auction.





BTW, I have to send a huuuuge thank you to the wife for allowing me to get the Kuyler as a combined Birthday/Christmas present. Did I mention that I really love her?

With these 2, I am now at 75 out of 96. Not too bad for an 80yr old set.

Way to go Mark! Very nice way to end the year...but I think your wife is going to get suspicious if you keep having these "rare" items come up around Christmas every year
Your Dad's wisdom should be used by all of us in our everyday collecting.

Courtesy of Huggins & Scott. Would love to expand the theme to an even 100 HOFers. Still mulling over who makes the cut for the final 18.

That Camilli is nice. i got one signed back in the day but you got a period autograph on it and I doubt there are very many like that.

Ben,
Yea, I do have a lot, but I have been working on this set for approx 30yrs or so.
It's been a labor of love.

Sean and Scott,
Thanks a lot for the kind words.

Mike,
The wife's contribution is even bigger than it seems as she doesn't get collecting at all. It drives her crazy that I spend this amount of money on this stuff. Another part of it, for her, is that I don't have much displayed. So she sees this a stuff collecting dust in a box.
Fortunately we have reached an accord. First, she has begrudgingly accepted the fact that I would rather spend money on memorabilia than tools, clothes, electronics, etc. Second, she twisted my arm to finally get the basement finished early this coming year, so I can hang and display my collection. Perhaps she will understand and enjoy it more as well that way.

Giovanni,
Congrats on your first. Very nice.
Though, I would advise you to avoid the 34 Goudey cards. The 34's are very ugly cards and I wouldn't want you to ruin your collection with any of them. For safety's sake, please send them all to me, so I can protect everyone.


CJ,
I love multi-signed pieces and that is spectacular. Congrats on an awesome pick up.

Best to all,
Mark

Most of my hobby funds go into cards, but I had to pick up a Cobb autograph at some point. While not the rarest of items, this Cobb-signed check does have minor historical significance in that it was made out to Emory University Clinic (the place where Cobb spent his final months receiving assistance in his battle against cancer, and, ultimately the hospital where he passed away).

Ever since I bought Ron Keurajian's book, my interest in baseball autographs has been rekindled. I've dug out my old inventory/collection and found I have over 100 HOF autos, most common but none of recent members. I've already won a couple lots in the just closed RR Auction and have a bid in with Lelands. Anyway, I drove about an hour yesterday to visit a coin dealer. I bought some coins and medals and also these gold plaques. All except the Barlick are dupes but at the price he was asking, I couldn't pass them up.

I bought some coins and medals and also these gold plaques. All except the Barlick are dupes but at the price he was asking, I couldn't pass them up.
If you are interested in selling any of the dupes I could probably stand to upgrade a couple of the names you have shown here.

Default Nolan Ryan signed tickets

Got my tickets back from the Nolan Ryan Foundation. They are a bargain at $35 a signature.

Exactly. I might be able to bump that figure up a bit, but 100 is such a nice round number. Then again, 108 would have a nice significance (stitches on a ball).

The logistics of it all would probably take years anyway, so I have time!

I like how Joe D. put his #5 in a circle. Amazing, one-of-a-kind piece right there!

I assume you are getting additions only at paid signings? I'd be terrified of someone smudging their sig otherwise.

Yay, me!!! This has been #1 on my autograph "wish list" for quite some time, but haven't had the cajones to pay $1000+ for one. Not perfect, but nice and vintage and I am very happy. Combined with the Cecil Travis bat I posted in the GU section, this has been my best Christmas ever, collecting-wise. (And it will keep on getting better when I unwrap Ron K's book!)

Yes, that's the plan. Unfortunately, I'll also have to go the mail order route since I'm not within 1,000 miles of the regular auto circuit.

I think the annual HOF weekend in Cooperstown is my best bet, along with obe or two other promoters at other times during the year. I'd like to minimize the time this thing is in the postal system!

Does anyone have much experience with mail order requests through major promoters? If you make a simple but clear request of where/how you want the player to sign, do they usually oblige?

Thanks for the nice comments.

I would be leery about sending your piece through the mail, but knowing that you live in a remote locale...

1) Insure the piece both ways in transit.
2) Use post it notes to identify where you would like a specific signature.
3) Have the letter that accompanies it clearly state what you want (Blue or black fine-tipped Sharpie, etc.)
4) Call the promoter and speak to the person in charge of mail order autographs and discuss what you're looking for

These steps will insure a better end result, FWIW.

Good luck, it's a terrific piece!
It's sad to note how many players on this poster are now deceased.

Thanks for the tips, Scott. Much obliged. I'll post my success as it unfolds.

I'm not sure I'd send that one off for mail order. If you plan it right, you could probably get just about everyone you want during HOF weekend. MAB-Celebrity has probably 20 plus hof'ers sign and then there are a handful of others that signed throughout town. The good thing about getting it signed in person is that it's a conversation piece and I'd bet that several hof'ers will be very friendly while signing it. Just my .02

I wouldn't disagree with Mike given this particular piece. I would attempt to do this IP given the chance.

+10000 even if you insure it when you ship, whats the value of that thing? And that wont stop some foolio from dropping it, or smearing fresh marker.

It looks really nice as-is, and has plenty of autographs. I would take it to signings every now and then, but not mail it anywhere.

It could be a fun life-long project, where you obtain sigs sparsely enough to make those occasions especially memorable.

Agreed. Come to HOF induction weekend and get a bunch knocked off in one weekend.
