November Pick-ups.
 

Not sports, but still prety cool, I think.
Another matted movie poster for the HT. One of my favorites. Robin Hood with Flynn, Rathbone, and De Havilland.

Mantle
 

Got this one back from my Framer yesterday

Way to go mark! I'm working on a few movies myself :D

Ted Williams outside of Fenway Park during his second triple crown season.

Packs, I liked that item a lot, but couldn't pull the trigger. Hope Williams experts will chime in with their opinions as to when it was signed (more recent than '40s?)

Been looking for a signed Ted Williams card for a little while, and picked this one up tonight off eBay.

Attachment 120538

ADDING- I guess if anyone has opinions on the above sig, the same question would apply for mine... there was no claim as to when it was signed, but would love if it were on the older side.

I don't know how much you paid, but I think you got ripped off for that Phil Rizzuto autograph ;) Nice looking piece!

!

Stan the Man looks like he signed it while making that catch :rolleyes:

I guess I got this

Hasn't that ruth card been considered a forgery by people in the hobby? I know haul of shame has discussed it.

Brock can never just let an elephant sit quietly in the room.

I added an Everett Scott signed baseball. The "Deacon" played 12 seasons from 1914-26 and served as captain of both the fabled New York Yankees, as well as the Boston Red Sox. He is a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame and played on 3 Red Sox World Series championship teams. He was also on the Yankees 1923 World Series winning team. Scott held the record for most consecutive games played until his steak was bested by the Iron Horse in 1933.

And on another panel, is some guy known as a singles hitter with a reputation for having a general surly attitude. I think his nickname is derived from a fruit or something like that.

No, those other Ruth's were offered a few months before the National. Those were the ones being discussed.

Than why was this same ruth card in a article the other day on haul of shame.

Here are the ones that HOS were referring to:

Look in this article. Pretty sure that's the one you just bought. I'd ask the experts on this board what they think. But if you're happy good for you, but thought it would be nice to tell you what others think.

Brock, if you were one of Wendy's brothers you wouldn't have gotten a foot off the ground.

Nevermind

Nash it seems has a problem with every autograph ever. I'm confident in this one, but I appreciate the concern and the article.

Regards

Scott... did those words really just come from your mouth?? haha :) Good stuff!
I must admit though.. I thought the same thing as Brock. I have no idea, however, if the auto is good or bad. Sweet item if good. HOS says it is "suspect" with no reasons why?? Sounds about right..

Ben, I rarely read HOS other than following links posted here in order to understand the conversation. I hate to see the subjects of our valid discussions end up as Nash re-hash (I haven't had breakfast) - it deflects from otherwise valid thoughts, but doesn't render them any less valid.

The Mantels of lawyers and doctors are littered with attempts to fulfill their childhood dreams. Unfortunately, many of those attempts had a middleman with a pen.

A friend got these for me at an Australian Boxing HOF function. I am especially pleased to add the Nigel Benn to my collection. The Dark Destroyer does not sign cards anymore except under special circumstances because he doesn't like the resale aspect.

New Acquisitions
 

Hey guys - couldn't resist this vintage Dimaggio ball. It's light but I just really liked it. I'm just starting to get into autographs but I don't think I see vintage DiMaggio balls too often. Is that true autograph guys? any thoughts would be appreciated.

And I didn't really go for the Ott Goudey back in August at Huggins but was lucky enough to find this one with a JSA.

Hope you like..... peter

Dynarl,

That's a great looking ball. All the sigs appear to be very strong and fortunate that in 1949 it was signed in black fountain pen.
Congrats!

Picked up these ones along with a few lesser ones.

Interesting item (IMO), a 1970 Seattle Pilots team card signed by future Hall of Famer Bud Selig who purchased the team after one year and moved them to Milwaukee.

Al Simmons
 

Arrived today :D

Beer and a Burger makes him work much faster... and he does a much better job than I!!!


BTW Beautiful Simmons Greg... A stunner!

Jorge
 

Got this one back today... fortunately/unfortunately it is going to a good friend...

The signature was acquired at a recent Joe Torre charity event... I told the gent who got it for me that I was a fan of index cards, he ended up getting it on a piece of Canvas board, so this thing is a monster... Paired it with a ticket to the game in which Jorge hit the last hr of his career #275 and a photo of him taking a curtain call after hitting it...

My buddy is going to be real happy when he gets it!

Greg, I have loved that Simmons since I saw it. and Dave, wow that Posada looks awesome.

The Spitter...
 

Alomar was in Westchester today...

1929 Cubs Signed Lot
 

Amazing 1929 Cubs signed pages with original photos. Lot included signed items of Hack Wilson, Rogers Hornsby and Gabby Hartnett plus 20+ other members of the 1929 Chicago Cubs National League champs.

Will be for sale shortly after I receive it and get a better idea of exactly what I have.

Tom C

Tom,

Great signatures, but BEAUTIFUL photos.

Congrats!

Graig

Tom,

Love that Hornsby! Let me know when it's for sale.

Why didn't mears sell them has autographs or being signed by the players or even have jsa or psa look at them?

Because they did not know.

And it's not my job to tell them.

Tom C

In the same auction they had an item from the Mickey Mantle estate that they listed as a bat that was signed by "11 Hall of Famers". You would think they would mention that it was a 500 home run club bat.

Unfortunately another bidder recognized the same thing I did and outbid me.

Tom C

I was looking closely at that Lot, and because there was not even a mention of the pages being signed, I just assumed that the names were facsimile signatures. How could they possibly be that lackadaisical and neglectful?

It seems highly unlikely that Mears could overlook something like that that. Wouldn't the Consignor say something when he/she saw the Lot and its description posted on-line? Hard to believe the Consignor would approve of this... unless it was someone who is completely naive, or inherited the book (knowing absolutely nothing about memorabilia or collecting).

This one is a real head-scratcher :confused:

The autographs are not incredibly clear. They are pencil on a darker background. The Hornsby that you can see, I assume that it is so clear due to the flash reflecting off of the graphite. The auction house was under the impression that someone had written the names of the photographed players under the photo. They have no doubt that the "markings" are real and not facsimile. They just seemed to have thought that they were just written by someone who was identifying the photos. However, there is no question that these are autographs of the individuals. The two clearest that I have seen from the listing are the Hornsby and the Grimm, and both are 100% the real deal. Add that to the fact that the auction house says that the "markings" are in pencil (not facsimile) and you have your answer.

At least I hope you do!

Tom C

Nice! ;)
