October Autograph Pick Ups
 

I will start out the month with this great Miller Huggins piece I just picked up, doesn't really fit my collection but was too neat to pass up. Signed stock certificate for 50 shares in the St. Paul baseball team that Huggins invested in from 1925. Signed cleanly on the reverse, sig rates a 9-10/10. Great shape on the certificate overall, and framed well so that the reverse of the stock can be seen through glass.

Wow! What a start to the month! I'm jealous, as I still need a Miller Huggins for my HOF collection.

Neil Armstrong walking on the moon
 

A Chicago Tribune newspaper supplement, the picture itself measures 13x15, from Aug, 1969, picturing Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. This is not the usual NASA picture of Armstrong or the fuzzy picture of him leaving the spacecraft. A signed picture of Armstrong walking on the moon is as rare as an Addie Joss autograph. The fact that it is not personalized also adds to its rarity.

Amazing signatures so far. I love that Armstrong, Richard. Where did you find it?

Warren Giles and Ford Frick...
 

Pickup for my Hall of Fame collection....:)

Btw: HATE THAT SPENCE STICKER ON THE FRONT!! I mean really, you couldn't place it on the back...

I bought it from a man who lived in Chicago in 1969 when Armstrong visited Chicago, shortly after his moon landing. His boss was the President of a bank who had some connections and managed to get it signed. The President of the bank also got one signed so there may be one more out there,but I don't believe it has ever been seen.

Dizzy Dean Album Page...
 

A pickup from Mr. Richard Simon...can't wait until it arrives!!:)

that was a page from a 1940 autograph album, nice vintage signature.

Why not use your piece to advertise his business?
What a shame to do that to a vintage item.

Al Simmons Signed Check...
 

Al Simmons Signed Check from 1949...Great add to the HOF Collection..:)

As nice as you can get for Honus Wagner, signed circa 1940 on an autograph album page.

That Wagner is awesome. Looks like he had fun signing it.

Richard, is a Honus Wagner sig of early playing days beautiful like this? How tough are they? I have an older day GPC that I would like to upgrade..

I wasn't looking for one of these per se...but with all the Mantle forgeries out there I am a sucker for the Upper Deck items; especially at a reasonable price.

1957 Topps Billy Martin New addition to my Autograph set!

Nice looking cards Earl

Thanks Mike...it seems like a lot of nice signed cards are coming up for sale. Here at the White Plains show yesterday, I seen a signed Clemente RC someone brought into get authenticated by JSA who got the card signed as a kid. The signature and story behind it were great! I wound up buying a 1954 Bowman Mays with a very early vintage signature. Here's the card...told me Willie signed it for him at the Polo Grounds!

Beautifully Signed 1961 Topps MVP Mantle

Great Mays and Mantle!

Maris signature in KC A's Book
 

I've been looking for a nice Maris in the KC A's book published when they came to KC in the mid '50's. This I thought was very nice and very reasonably priced.

Really like that Maris!!!

Nothing super special, just one step closer to my complete perfect game collection with a Philip Humber. And it was a good price too.

Another Honus...

Picked up this autographed scorecard with a beautiful Wags signature.

Cobb Check...
 

Just picked up this Cobb Check signed to his daughter's California bookstore.....

After some runaround at the post office, I got this beauty today. Thanks Jon.

Just got this lot done...all cards are part of my sets except for the vintage signed Musial.

Man, I always wanted a 57 Topps signed Klu. Nice pick ups!

I'm super excited to add my first vintage autograph to my collection. As a Tiger fan I've been shopping for a Ty Cobb for a long time and I'm pleased to have this in my collection.

Nice lot of Perfect Game #22
 

Picked up some great stuff yesterday from the Matt Cain perfect game, got a signed display bat by Matt Cain, signed OMLB baseball with the PG inscription on it from Matt Cain, and a ball signed by Buster Posey. Great stuff and will most likely move the bat, so if you are interested, let me know, otherwise, I will put it in B/S/T.

So stoken, just 2 more for my perfect game collection!

Jesus Christ! Can't anyone write his name anymore?

Gehrig
 

I was able to pull the trigger thanks to several board members.

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS ONE.. Lou went 2-4 with a hr(4 rbi) on postmark date.

OK, I admit that the headgear is dorky...

I don't recall if I posted this before but I got it at the National:

Saw this at a flea market and thought snagged it at a great price. Personalized Astronaut Dave Scott autograph to Ira Milton Jones, who was a wealthy patent attorney in Milaukee who made many donations to the aviation world.ī

Cool exhibits Adam! As far as sigs on cards go, I think I like teh looks of them on vintage exhibits the best.

Scott, thanks man.. I really enjoy collecting Captain Lou. I love this addition!

Walter O'Malley signed Postcard...
 

Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley signed postcard

Honus Wagner Signed Envelope...
 

Recently picked up a great looking Honus Wagner signed envelope.

While growing up with a father who was a Brooklyn Dodgers die-hard, I was always under the impression that his name was actually "That Goddamned Walter O'Malley".

Wow....I dont think I have ever seen so many Wagners and Cobbs in one month!

Been busy this month!

Ah man I am jealous

He should have said "that goddamned Robert Moses", that man was more at fault than O' Malley was.

I picked up two 1954 Milwaukee Braves baseballs, Hank Aaron rookie year baseballs.
24 and 25 signatures, these will be offered on my e mail price list this coming week.

Amen
