Coaches corner wish list
 

If you could ask the Roaches for your one great item, the one you would pay anything for, what would it be?
For me it would be the signed draft of the Gettysburg Address, the one with the crossed out line "whoopee, we beat those rebel butts on this field." with a COA from whatever flavor of the month they choose.

George Custer signed piece of wagon canvas, "Where did all those Indians come from?"

or

Joan of Arc signed note, "Don't play with fire."

Roach's Corner
 

A Babe Ruth autograph on a "1995 Cooperstown Babe Ruth SLU."

A "game-used" cross, signed by the Lord himself. Or was that already sold through them?

The letter Abraham Lincoln wrote to a friend on April 14, 1865, where he says "I will be in touch with you first thing tomorrow, Mrs. Lincoln and I are heading tonight to the theatre."

Signed postcard sent by Judge Crater from Atlantis.

Ride used Horseshoe from Paul Revere's midnight ride.

Geez guys, you're being ridiculous. Stick to baseball!

An authentic AL ball signed by Thomas Jefferson

A scorched village people album signed by Bill Veck. Disco demolition night debris.

Ok, not as crazy as the others since it's at least possible.

Steve B

Legendary presidents. signed on a Bill White NL Ball. Lincoln, FDR, Teddy, Kennedy and Nixon.

A moon rock signed by astronauts Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.

That's possible isn't it?

A piece of Noahs ark autographed by the man himself and of course it has to be completely authenticated by supreme court forensic expert and former cia super spy Christopher Morales:p:p:p

-

Authographed baseball by Rene Descartes inscribed "cogito ergo sum" so it must be real.

How about a signed judicial order sentencing them to a long prison stretch...without writing materials?

A Mark Twain handwritten letter in which he discusses the Presidency of JFK and offers his opinion that a conspiracy was behind his assassination.

I'd like to buy a rock signed by all 33 Chile Miners that the guy brought up with him during their rescue. Certed by Ted Taylor of course when no one else will do.

I am sure they can get that Chilean piece from the same consignor that they got the Titanic crewmen piece.
Who sent that one to you Lee?
:eek::eek::eek:

Maybe we should stop...I'm thinking there is a great probability that the majority of these items may actually pop up in future auctions...:eek:

A baseball signed by Lee Harvey Oswald signed "I didn't shoot John F. Kennedy", as homage to those nonsensical Pete Rose (and Bob Feller) balls.

DanC

Signed and inscribed letter.

Sauron

Bilbo Baggins
Tom Bombadil
Frodo Baggins
Samwise Gamgee

as long as we are talking fantasy pieces.

A vintage bottle of Amontillado signed by both Montresor and Fortunato. COA signed by Poe.

In the realm of "sure, it's possible" ( a la a rock signed by Los 33), how about a letter from Mr. Pipp;

"Dear Mom,

Have a headache today and won't play. Be back in lineup tomorrow,

love, Wally"

An apple that comes signed by Adam AND Eve (can't guarantee authenticity of Eve) like they couldn't guarantee Eve like their Bonnie and Clyde, where STAT could not authenticate Bonnie (for some reason)...Softball signed by every guest on the Titanic with chunk of ice berg...and I know they have sold a bunch of Darwin cuts, but one that says "Religeon, hooey!". Fun thread.

Regards,

Larry

A cigarette butt signed by the smoking baby:
"DanC made me do it."
The exemplars from the authentication are what I would like to see on that one.

FLASH: Just in. Battle used Cannonball from the Famous Civil war Ironclad battle, the Monitor and the Merrimack. COA from BOTH RE Lee and US Grant.

I've always wanted to own piece of the jello box from Julius and Ethel. Any chance CC can get me that?

You lost me RFS...

DanC

Game used Coke bottle signed by Fatty Arbuckle

As Fatty liked to say: "Things go better with Coke.";)

a rube waddell,mordecai brown and eddie plank signed on same jersey

I actually signed up with them to register as a bidder. Did that about 2-3 weeks ago. Then sent them an email asking if when I win an item and if I should get it authenticated by SGC or PSA and they tell me it's no good, would I get my money back.

2-3 weeks later, they have yet to reply.

Now that's some Customer Service.

I was hoping they has these
 

1. An Honus Wagner signed Honus Wagner T206 with a Ty Cobb back and the photocopied PSA/DNA cert to go with it.

2. The ball that struck and killed Ray Chapman on August 16, 1920 at Polo Grounds. Also I would like the black armband that manager Tris Speaker wore in remembrance of Chapman. Oh they won the World Series that year so I guess the trophy would be nice to see on the auction site.

A Christopher Morales autograph that has a letter from Morales stating he cannot determine it's authenticity.

A Jesus Christ-signed piece of The True Cross

What about John Kruk's ball from his testicular cancer surgery in 1994?:eek:

I wouldn't mind owning Moses's craft of bulrushes, maybe framed with a cut autograph.

[By the way, Christopher Morales lives in a neighborhood adjoining my own. His is nicer, showing I guess that forensic experts do better than bureaucrats.]

You know where he lives and haven't lynched him yet! You sir are a better man then I!

I wonder if he displays all the fake crap in his own house?

Kenesaw Mountain Landis' fathers wooden leg...signed by all the subsequent commissioners...with COA

Or this one from comedian Stephen Wright....

a picture of Houdini locking his keys in his car...

Thor's game used and vintage signed hammer....

Seriously though, this is the all-time funniest thread on Net54!

I knew this group would have a ball with this one.
:p;):D:o:):rolleyes::cool:

Many people consider this to be the Holy Grail of the entire hobby.
The Bobby Thomson HR baseball.
It is an Official Natl League baseball with no inscription, no signature.
Lee says it is THE BALL and we of course believe him.

Baseball autographed by CM with COA from TT and TT autographed baseball with COA from CM both accompanied by PSA/DNA certificate deeming both to be unauthentic...

How about a handwritten Ruth letter personally thanking Chris Morales dated yesterday!!!

The ark of the covenant

Jon, I think it would be better if they had both halves of the jello box. With cut sigs of all involved and framed with a line of Radium paint.

I always thought the Gospel of John, signed by all four of the gospel authors would be a nice piece, or maybe a silver coin signed by Judas.
