I’ve been dabbling with making my own custom cut signature cards. Started with a few players I liked that signed damaged index cards with little eye appeal outside the signature. Over the course of the 2018 season I’ve been picking up Red Sox players who played in the 1946 World Series - the last time before 2018 that the Sox won 100 games. Just finished the entire set of players who played in at least one game, including manager Joe Cronin and coach Larry Woodall (d. 1963). Now I need to figure out how to frame or showcase this...

Thanks! I’m super proud of the them and next working on a 1975 Sox set as well as start chasing 2018 players. I based the pennant design on the 1946 Cardinals WS program.

Right now I’m using a standard laser printer with high quality printing and high gloss paper, but I try to create designs that don’t have a lot of bleed or need large, sharp photography. And I created the cards with the ability to take out the signatures again if I want to “upgrade” the cards down the line.

That's cool. I thought you needed a professional quality printer. What about the cardstock thickness? Do you put designs on the back?

Just got back an autograph submission from SGC. While I don't use SGC much for autographs, I really like how these look with the new label!

That is a beautiful Hugh Casey and I think early examples like that Brett are undervalued and really cool! I'd love to see more from that collection!

Back from PSA today:

From what I see on the population report, the Dressen (d. 66) is a pop 1 and the Keane (d. 67) is a pop 3.

These are both from a vintage TTM collection and even have a paperclip indentation from where they were likely attached to a letter.

Thank you for the compliments on the Keane and Hornsby!

Minor pickup but I really like the way the leather-bound Easton Press books present and picked a few up recently...

Default Letter about first four American League presidents

Kind of cool content in this letter signed by American League president Joe Cronin. He mentions Ban Johnson, ES Barnard, and William Harridge.

The letter is on the website CooperstownExpert.com along with the autographs of all but HoFers whose MLB debut came after 1900. The site has a ton of examples of baseball autographs.

Default Fun content about Honus Wagner from Elbie Fletcher

Elbie Fletcher led the league in on-base percentage for three straight years, made the All Star team, then entered WWII after his age-27 season. The bulk of his career was with the Pirates when Honus Wagner was a coach. Fletcher writes some pretty fun stuff about Wagner's "tall stories" of playing without a glove and sharpening his spikes.

The second letter is Wagner's autograph. Though it wasn't picked up this month, it seemed like a nice place to include it too. Those two pieces and many others can be found on CooperstownExpert.com.

Thanks. Here are a token few I picked out. Some nice playing-era HOFers, plus some favorites like Mossi and a few guys that passed long ago like Gardella, McGlothin, Aurelio.

That's funny - I spent five pints talking baseball (listening) with an old Tacoma sportwriter last night, and he mentioned Kirby Higbe as having written a really interesting baseball book. I'm hoping John, now that he's retired, will write a book of his own.

I think alot of folks were saving up for REA and Jasons collection and most autograph collectors favor cards over exhibits. Otherwise I am not sure since it probably is the best multi signed card in the hobby

Amazing card, regardless if it's an exhibit!

in 2016 REA sold it for 72,000 including premium. I had a few good "authenticators" look at it. With buyers premium got it for 38.400. Alot of things are going for low prices tho Jason did very well. I picked up a few items in REA that didn't go that high and I was pleasantly surprised. Just depends if you get into a bidding war with a deep pockets guy and/or a set collector

Default 1948 Indian News signed by no-hit hurlers Don Black, HOF Bob Lemon and HOF Bob Feller

I recently picked up a pretty cool signed item for my collection related to no-hitters.

This is an August issue of Indian News that was signed by Don Black (D-1959), HOF Bob Lemon and HOF Bob Feller. All three of these Cleveland Indians pitchers that were on the 1948 roster hurled at least one no-hitter.
Feller threw no-hitters in both 1940 and 1946, Black threw his in 1947 and Lemon had just hurled his in June of 1948 at the time that this publication was printed.

What makes this signed piece particularly rare is the death date of Don Black tragically passed away in 1959 at the young age of 43.
His signature is pretty challenging to begin with, but to find a no-hitter related piece signed by all three is pretty unique.

He paid nearly as much as the loss the $72k buyer took when he tried to re-sell it in the 2018 REA, and it sold for only $42k. $30,000 loss. Ouch.

Then the buyer at $42,000 took a $3,600 loss when it sold for $38,400 at HA.

On the bright side, I guess they could take advantage of some capital loss carryforwards?

To me having Gehrig and Ruth on the same card (I like exhibits pre WWII) as much as Goudeys etc is amazing. I'd much prefer it to a singly Ruth 33 Goudey which usually goes for much more tho I realize exhibits do not have the attraction of gum cards

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to do a 70 mile bike ride with some legends of cycling; namely Chris Froome (4x Tour de France winner, Vuelta and reigning Giro winner), George Hincapie and Christian Vande Velde. The guys were awesome to ride with, and for an athlete who surely could be in contention of one of the greatest ever, Froome was one of the most down-to-earth guys I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to.

Default 19th-century's Gus Weyhing

Picked up 1887 debut, 264-game winner Gus Weyhing. Always fun to add someone like this. The signature is also on this autograph website.

This is a signed 5 x 7 3/4 studio portrait of Arthur Lyon (1876-1952). He won a bronze medal in team foil at the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp. He was the last American fencer to compete in all 3 weapons (foil, epee and sabre) at the Olympics. He also competed in the 1924 and 1928 Olympics, but did not medal. I like studio portraits and this was signed so I was glad to win this on ebay. It arrived framed which was done many years ago. I do not like my photos in frames and removed it. It was then that I realized that this was more than just a nice signed photo. It was also signed by the photographer. This photo was taken by Nicholas Muray in 1928.

Nicholas Muray (1896-1965) was a world famous photographer. He was a teammate of Lyon on the 1928 U.S. Olympic fencing team. He also competed in 1932, but never won a medal. He may not be as well known in baseball circles as Conlon, but he took one of the most iconic baseball photos of all time: The 1927 portrait of Babe Ruth sitting in full uniform with his bat on his left shoulder. He did celebrity portraits for Vanity Fair, Harpers Bazaar and other publications. He had a ten year off and on relationship with Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. His portraits of her are highly collectible.

In doing a bit of research I found his photos with either his signature or blind stamp selling for 4 to 5 figures. Not a bad pickup for under $40.00

Here's a 1939 Red Sox ball I finally photographed.

It also has a nice Grove and Duffy.

Being a Red Sox fan, all I can say is WOW Scott. That`s a beautiful "39" ball. Enjoy that one sir for a long time.
