Rosemary's Baby: Baseball Autograph Album

[jgmp123]

In my quest to find a .pdf of the Halper Collection, I came across this great article written by Bill Glovin about the "Rosemary's Baby" baseball autograph album.

It looks like in 2003 the original owner planned to keep it in the family. Has anyone seen this album, have additional photos, any info at all about it?

Some great looking signatures and I would love to see more pictures!

Thanks for sharing. Great piece, AND the key signatures were authenticated by Barry Halper!

"Halper, who donated most of his own collection to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown and auctioned off the rest at Sotheby’s for $21.8 million, examines the signa- tures with the intensity of a sports agent looking for a loophole in his player’s contract. “These are definitely authentic; Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth did everything left-handed except sign their names,” he says, before turning a page. "

Exactly Scott. I felt it fit right in with everything else going on at the moment in the "Autograph Section"

I just want to see more photo's....

Jim, I'm waiting for my 'negative barometer' to chime in - then I'll no for sure whether or not the Ruth and Gehrig are legit

Gee, Scott, I wonder who that can be

I was actually hoping this could be a "feel good" thread and someone could provide some additional details about this album...Can we try to keep it at that?

I assume the album is still in the original owners possession. If she believes them as real and they keep her happy for the rest of her life, then good for her.

I simply asked if anyone knew anything about the album, but thank you Scott for turning this into another one of THOSE forums.
You seem to be making a habit of that...

I'm sorry, let me start over James, so you can feel all good and sweet inside:

Wow - great album with autographs authenticated by THE famous Barry Halper! Those are GREAT autographs. Wow! It really doesn't matter whether or not they are real (as I already know you believe, James) - owning forgeries is GREAT because you get them cheaper and they make you feel really, really good, because you can make believe that you have something valuable!!!!

Thanks, James, for this wonderful feel-good thread.

For future reference, if you post about something that is real, you'll get more of those warm and fuzzes that you are looking for. And before you insult me again, go back and look at my posts regarding autographs and point out just one where I've been unfairly negative. What you'll find is that if I've said an autograph is questionable, a whole helluva lot of others here have as well.

Edited to add - don't get all chapped when I don't respond to your next inane post in this thread. I realize that with 3,900 members, there are going to be a few imbeciles, but I'm running out of tolerance. Sorry.

Scott,

I love you too!

Edited to add- Don't get all chapped. I didn't insult you good buddy. I ended it with a smiley...isn't everything okay when you add a smiley?

Also before anyone else jumps in...the "feel good" part of this thread is the story of the lady in the article And the album she inherited from her mother. Sorry for getting back to the nature of the hobby. I'll remember to keep everything sinister in the future.
