Do you have an autograph personalized to your name but not actually obtained by you?

[RichardSimon]

I got one and it was a long time goal of mine to get her autograph. Being named in it was just icing on the cake. The poor coloring is from the photo not the actual item. And this one is not for sale .

Thanks Jim Stinson...........

I have a Tommy Henrich photo postcard written to "Eddie" and a Rod Carew signed baseball inscribed "To my best pal, Ed".

Missed out on this one, it has my last name in it

Wish I knew where it was so I had an opportunity to purchase it.

This was a great signature of Roger Maris so I had to have it. I was born in 1964 so I just took a photo of me at that age and stuck it over the other kid. I like it!

Just remembered I have this in my exemplar files.
It is inscribed to Ben Simon, that was my dad's name.

I think it's great when I can find personalized items that I did not obtain. Picked this one up a few months ago. Although Andy is not my full name (and this might actually say Randy), it's the closest I have found

I don't go by Mike and sometimes ignore people when called it. I did not get this for the name inscription, but for resale.

Janis and I were born in the same Port Arthur hospital, so I've always followed her stuff. That's a great pick-up.

I used to have a Dick Butkus personalized 'to Scott' photo that I got from a friend named 'Scott'. When my friend died, I gave the photo to his older brother. Ironically, the only time I actually met Dick Butkus was when I was ten years old - he lived up to his first name, and I did not get an autograph.

I don't have any, but would love to add a "To James" item if anyone has any available...

Try having a name that was hardly around until the last 40 years (and even then, not "popular") and add a unique spelling of it on top of that. NOPE.

I did see a signed Mantle photo once made out "To Jared", which is close enough for me. I couldn't find it again to save my life. If you guys see it around, kindly give me a shout.

Great thread, Richard!

Just use this search on ebay

(to james) (signed, signature, auto, autograph, autographed)
or
(to james, to jim) (signed, signature, auto, autograph, autographed)

[alifaxwa2]

I don't, but for the last 6 months I have had a search with email updates set up for
(to jeffrey, to jeff) (signed, signature, auto, autograph, autographed)

Nothing exciting has popped up yet.

Thanks for this. My daughter and I got a kick out of it. Very creative.

[Johnny630]

This was given to me from my Dad when I was 7 or 8 years old. One of my all time favorites

The only piece I am missing is a "To Chris Mickey Mantle."
