You'll just have to believe what you want, and ignore the facts. I can't get through to you.

You don't have any "facts", only estimations. None of us have solid numbers. At the same time, we can't get through to you and have no need to. It really doesn't matter, as nobody can prove anything. It's just whatever you choose to believe.

You clearly don't understand what a fact is.

No Bill, it is you who doesn't understand facts, or you simply ignore them.

What's your favorite one you're still sitting on, Brendan?

My favorite in person Jordan autograph would be this ball. Every top tier HOFer I ever met, I try to get them to sign this ball. I’ll post the other panels if there’s any interest…

Definintely know you're a Pittsburgh local when Stargell is among those other top tier names! I know how revered he is in your neck of the woods.

I just dig that autograph of his; always have. Signing his RC seemed to give him a bit of an issue due to his lefty slant, I guess. Talk about a card I wish I'd have had the foresight to have gotten a stack signed.

Surprised Bobby Doerr hasn't been mentioned yet. He lived to be 99, never charged a dime, and was a willing signer through the mail. He signed this for me in March 2017.

I will say, Nolan Ryan truly is a class act. His foundation charges one price for any card you want to send and it costs the same to sign his rookie card as it does for a card printed yesterday.

Carl Yastrzemski is another one who doesn't upcharge for his rookie cards, although his fee has been increasing in recent years.

Even PSA weighs in with their proclamation that Rose was the record holder.

Concrete data will never be available to prove anybody right or wrong.

Didn’t see him mentioned but another person who belongs on the list of “signed so much it’s hard to find something they didn’t sign” is Denny McLain. Had two amazing seasons and he will fill up thousands of baseballs with a longer stat line for two great seasons than Brooks Robinson would have if he did a stat ball. Lol

The evolution of a toss up opinion into an incontrovertible fact.

BRoberts 10-02-2024 08:18 PM

Lol. Fear not, tomorrow is another day, with new clouds to yell at.

Whatever. Who the fuck cares. I did some simple Googling and actually read some of what I found. Based on what I read, I changed my tune. Believe what you want to believe. I am done with this.

Snapolit1 10-03-2024 05:56 AM

You are correct. It doesn’t really matter. Just a debate. People don’t need to be at each others throats over it.

Bpm0014 10-03-2024 01:16 PM

Musial was the first and Stargell was the 2nd signature on the ball. A very underrated hitter. Hit 475 HRs in the spacious Forbes Field. The added signatures kind of snowballed after that haha.

Personally.... (while not baseball)
 
I would guess that Pele may hold the global title. He also was signing until he could barely hold a pen.
