Here is mine to kickoff (sorry, no pun intended SuperBowl fans) the month of February:
After waiting for several years for the right one, I finally upgraded my Jesse Tannehill autograph to a vintage fountain pen signed 3 x 5. Tannehill pitched an early turn of the century no-hitter in 1904. Many thanks to net54's Rhys Yeakley for helping me find this one. For those of you that have not ever bought from Rhys, he's a quality guy and great to work with! For any of you that are looking to add a Tannehill, I currently have one for sale on eBay which ends tonight. If you are interested, make me a reasonable offer. Thanks!

That's a great vintage southpaw sig, Scott! A very underrated lefty from that era. I had a similar one with the Dayton inscription, but trimmed it to present with an 8x10. Sorta wish I hung onto it... Congrats! |

Here are 3 pick ups to start the month:
1. A Dizzy Dean 3x5. It was such a pretty signature and a price too good to pass up 2. A Burleigh Grimes check. Again at a price too good to pass up. 3. A check signed with full name of Pee Wee Reese... Harold H. Reese. A full name signature of his has been on my want list for awhile. |

Picked this up for $13.16 on eBay. Seller said his brother played with it and the family dog might have loved on it a little. The Sandlot is one of my favorite movies ever and this ball reminded me of the Ruth ball that the gang played with and Hercules got a hold of.

Those are some nice checks. I would love to know why Cobb wrote a$250.00 dollar check to Pac Tel.and Tel. Seems like a lot of money then.

At first glance I thought this post said "nice cheeks". Must admit that made me a bit curious.

Richard,
Just curious what restaurant "The Duke" dined at? It may be back in my own stomping grounds.... |

FYI: It is a minor point, but this is not a free frank, it is an endorsement. A free frank is signed on an envelope in the upper right corner in lieu of a stamp when it is to be mailed. Franking privileges were and are reserved for the President, Vice President, Cabinet Secretaries and members of Congress in both houses. Years ago it was free. Now it is paid for at a reduced postage cost. During the Civil War it was also used by officers. A great place to find them is at good sized stamp shows.
