February Autograph Pickups

Added HOFer #290-Ross Youngs

Been over a year since I was able to add a new HOF autograph (not including new inductees). Spotted this baseball on eBay with a poor description. Not in the best shape, but tough to find him in any condition. The Hugh Jennings is in good shape also, although I know some people feel this is a clubhouse version.

January/February is a slow time for auction houses, not that surprised.

Hot damn, another rarity! Great pick up, I’m jealous as usual. I haven’t added an old name to my HOF collection for years now.

Edited to add: 290 is an incredible number!

Wayne-Glad to see you post again, hope all is well. Yeah, every new acquisition is SO TOUGH. Ignoring even the costs (which makes most cost prohibitive for me). I don't even see most of the guys I need-except Matty-even come to auction any more.

At least you're open to acquiring the rare and expensive autographs on team/multi-signed balls. So many people are unwilling to do this, which to me has always been their loss.

As a collector, I had no problem using a signed ball as a filler. Not ideal, but do you actually want to own certain autographs or not? Sometimes it's a matter of cost, sometimes rarity; usually both! Crossing that longstanding name off my want list mattered the most.

Final Day of the month saw the arrival of my Morris Rath endorsed 1920 Reds check. Tough guy to get!
