Lets see some HOF autographs!

I have yet to get around to scanning this on my own scanner for my own purposes so I'll use the Huggins and Scott image, but its one of my favorite acquisitions to date. Lefty Grove signed 8x10 George Burke.

And a complete fully executed Max Carey coaches contract for the 1933 season with Brooklyn.

Did you see the baseball I talked about in my thread at http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...68#post1408368 ?

There are 14 autographs there from 13 HOF players. Yeah it was signed twice by Brooks Robinson.

1912 signed letter

Greg I watched that lot with a lot of interest, its an amazing piece, congrats on the acquisition.

Awesome Lefty Grove signed photo! :)

Walter & Lefty
 

Here are two of my favorites:
1929 GPC questionnaire of Walter Johnson and a vintage signed album page of Lefty Grove exhibiting the same signature as the previous poster's vintage photo of Lefty.

Arguably the best right hander and left hander of all time....

If you don't like this one, I have a nice Joe Cronin cut.

I know there isn't much modern card love here but here are a couple. (Football HOF on one ;) )

You stole my idea!

Scott, I love your Walter Johnson.

Very cool.

Thanks Chris! Purchased off of the BST here on net54!

You chose well.
Beautiful Foxx!

This one is postmarked 1909. A bit of advice for collectors looking to get into PCs: read. This postcard was essentially thrown away on eBay because of the condition but the seller did not read the inscription and did not realize it was written and signed by Billy Papke, a HOFer who died in the 1930s:

I would show my Sewell autographs, but I can never remember which one(s) are in the HOF, and I'm too lazy to google them.

Sorry.

Hof autos
 

One of my favorites...

Glad I'm not the only one

Only gonna post a few multi-signed HOF pieces:

I love the 'Carlton/Bench' signed ball. I had a ball signed by the '72 Phillies and Giants and then later by the '73 Reds. The panel with Bench faded so I sort of regret not just adding the Reds to the Phillies/Giants ball. Also wish I had thought about reserving a ball just for stars, but my child mind wasn't thinking like my modern collector one.

Sat in my grandmother's attic for about 50 years. As nice a signature as you'll see. And it's real!

Nobody said just baseball so here are a few mixed.

A Few From '52
 

1952 Berk Ross

These are my favorites from various HOF's. Ruth and Rockne will probably be departing the collection soon.

Theater Hall of Fame - Sarah Bernhardt
Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame - Willie Hoppe
National Football Foundation Hall of Fame - Knute Rockne
Baseball Hall of Fame - Babe Ruth

Here are a few...

OK here goes three examples from my Baseball HoF autograph collection:
!. A full name Denton T. "Cy" Young sheet
2. A full name Lewis "Hack" Wilson signed Burke photo
3. An A.G. Spalding TLS from 1892 on Spalding letterhead

That's a neat Denton Young.

That's an AWESOME Hack George Burke!

Thanks Andrew for the nice comment. That Hack Wilson is one of my favorite pieces in my collection.

here's just a few of my favorites:

There are some beauties on here, congrats to all! Here are a few, the Teddy Ballgame will probably be in my collection for a long period of time, but the other 2 I will most likely be looking to sell sometime soon.

1 - 1929 welcome home banquet program with photo signed by Lefty
2 - Dizzy Dean 4x6 George Burke signed
3 - Ted Williams 4x6 George Burke signed (writing on back says it was obtained on June 4th, 1941
4 - 1934 Hank Greenberg autographed album page

John J. Evers

One of my favs...
 

.

...and another...

...and one more!

Looks like it's part of the photo--like a signed photo was itself photographed, and that negative used to make prints.

Where did you get all those Kreindler prints? I didn't think he did those. Graig,, did you lie t o me??

Hey Ben,
I received permission from Graig a couples years ago to print these.

Wow. You're good - I mean really good! That's exactly what this is. How in the world could you tell?

The photo is a copy - but the signature is actually Ruth's - that's what I meant by real. My dad was a photographer with the Det. Free Press and and used a copy camera to create a 4 x 5 negative - which this copy was made from. The original went back to the safe-deposit box.

The original was obtained by my grandfather who was also a newspaper photographer. I sold it in a Leland's auction back in the late 90's. The copies are all I have left.

Ohhh... About fifty years of experience with autographs.

Thanks for the kind words, Scott

Nice Jeffrey

Hey, it was modern cards like this that got me interested in pre-war vintage, and probably others as well. Now I almost exclusively collect vintage or modern auto cuts of vintage players.

That is quite a stash of cards just laying on your desk! Ryan RC, Philip Rivers Exquisite, not to mention Thorpe and Cobb (are they both 1/1's?). Amazing how a $500 cut auto can turn into a $5,000 card!
