Adam J. MoraineThe autograph on the 38' Goudey is a "vintage" Feller autograph.It could be from the 1950's-1970's I am not sure when Bob changed the style of his signuature. But the "F" in Feller is NO LONGER a backward lower case "F" and has not been in decades,(therefore, vintage) as Bob now signs the "F' in Feller as it now appears to look like the #2 with a high rising looped tail. I apologize, for the Feller signature study, I thought I could help out, though. I DO collect autographs on cards, I believe autographs enhance the card, as well as the value to some degree, of course. On July 23rd Bob will be at the Bob Feller Museum, I plan on having him autograph a 1952 Topps card, I picked up on a card show earlier this month. Card probably grades a STRONG VG+++. Is the autographing of this card a good move on my part, given it is low/mid grade? T-206 Collector are your autographed T-206's of Rube Marquard for sale? PLEASE email me. moneyman11380@mchsi.com
The story of the Rose/Feller spat, (THIS IS FACT, TRUST ME) is that Feller hates Rose with a passion, due to Roses' involvement in gambling and betting. Which Bob CLEARY points out in baseballs' rule book, that it's against the rules of the game to gamble/bet on our beloved sport. At one time Bob even told me, the article number.I can't remember it though. Feller believes that because Rose broke the rules, and dishonored our sport, that Rose has no right to attend H.O.F. events/signings at Cooperstown, dispite Roses' accomplished feat, of all-time hits king. That my friends, IS THE TRUTH, AND THE FACTS.
