Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>Hey guys,<br />I know this is a longshot, but I have seen this board pull off miracles before, but any idea on who this signature might be? I have no leads whatsoever; it was with other sports autos but that doesn't mean much.<br /><br />thanks<br />KJ<br /><br /><img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/kjjavic/UknownAuto.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Leslie Westbrook</b><p>"M & M's Candy"<br /><br />I think that's what it says. Perhaps it was a note tag placed on a gift of M&M's. Not as cool as a baseball autograph, but that's my guess.

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>LOL, That could be it; it was with a bunch of autographs in a lot so someone thought it was an auto, but you may be right

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>The number in the corner may indicate rookie year or date of death as autograph collectors often put those types of years on an autograph

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>I thought so too, but then after flipping it over, the back side, is number 68. Seems to be someone hand numbered the pages. <br /><br />Who is Manny Cassidy? <br /><br />thanks<br />KJ

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>Thanks for the tip on Camby, but after a ebay search for his sigs, they are very different. But it could have been him.

Posted By: <b>Leslie Westbrook</b><p>Ok, so previously I suggested it might have been a hand-written gift tag on "M & M's Candy" that was being given to "Joey". However, if it was in a personal autograph book at one time (as the page numbering and spine edge might indicate), then perhaps a child "met" a person in an M&M costume at a a fair/carnival/ballgame and asked for his autograph.

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>What looks like an ampersand is actually an 'A.' I'm also fairly certain that the letter before what y'all are calling a 'C' is a 'B.' <br />It's not:<br /><br />AB Chandler<br />Tom Landry<br />Butch Cassidy<br /><br />A puzzle!

Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>Keith<br /><br />What other autographs are in the book? That should give some idea of the time frame of the signing.<br /><br />(Darn. Butch Cassidy was going to be my guess <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> )

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>Max,<br />I did not get this in an autograph book. It was in a lot of various autographs, and this slip was loose. It does look like it was part of an autograph book at some point, but I unforunately don't know the era of it. When looking at it, I thought the paper had some age to it though.<br />Thanks for all the ideas guys. I always find it fun and equally frustrating to try to figure out signatures.<br />KJ

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Based off of how he wrote 'Joey' - the last 3 letters are 'edy'
