Pardon my asking, but did you make a youtube video about your collection, I think I heard about it from there, or something very similar at least!

[stat192]

I feel like I owned that Honus years ago. It's very familiar.

[chaddurbin]

Would be great provenance then!

The front is addressed to a chuck Stafford in michigan.

Of all the random luck, I landed a Rex Cecil on a multi signed PCL scorecard last year.

Impressive collection.

in 2002-2012 I did in person autographing at the cactus league and being from CO did alot of Rockies. I was into getting oddball stuff signed (not a great choice from a monetary value but fun). Here is my favorite Helton from his short lived salsa brand. Congrats Todd

Nice Helton oddball piece!

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

Oddball stuff is great for eliciting unique reactions from players. What was Helton's reaction to being handed this thing?

Any other good, similar stories?

[theshleps]

that was a popular brand of salsa for about a year if you lived in CO. I got 20 or so in person Heltons between spring training and Coors. I dont remember that one. He was always cordial but never very talkative

I had Gaylord Perry sign a jar of Vaseline. First time, hilarious. The second time, not so much. If memory serves at some point he refused to sign Vaseline jars.
