I have, but those stories aren't terribly interesting. These somewhat related ones are better:
In the early days of eBay, I had a vintage Joe Gordon signed GPC up for auction. Joe's daughter took the time to write, "Yup, that sure looks like a genuine autograph of my father. Neat!" This was years before his induction. At the time, I think it was the only Gordon autograph then listed on eBay.
Duane Ward is/was a collector and eBay seller, at least at one point!
Have any of you been contacted directly by a player as a result of something you listed? I once received a nasty, unsolicited message from a player whose autograph I had listed. "People like you are the reason I don't sign anything!". Funny, because he wrote a letter to another collector not long before this which alluded to his Christian faith being the reason he no longer signs (no precise explanation given other than that hint). I was rather offended at the "people like you" jab, as I was already familiar with his reputation as a non-signer and had never once troubled him for anything. The item in question was simply a career-era example of his signature which I myself had purchased for my own collection and was reselling in order to recoup what I had into it. I don't feel like putting his name out there, as he clearly spends all kinds of time Googling himself.
