HUGE Score Today!!!!!!!

[JollyElm]

(I know this belongs in the 'autographs' section, but I had to share it!!!!!)

A precious Ruth is landed!!!!!!
Fought off other less-serious bidders to finally grab it in the end!!! Haven’t ever seen another one like it, so I'll enjoy the hell out of it until the time comes to use it to fund my retirement!!! The sad thing is, though, I can never get all three signatures on it, because Hammerin’ Hank is gone, but what a day!!!!!!!! What a score!!!!!!!!

I think Willie is a tough sig these days too.

Hell of an auction. Congrats on the score. Your wallet is definitely fatter than mine and I had to bow out early on the Ruth. I did manage to pick up something for the Cubs collection, though.

Soooo…what am I missing here? Babe Ruth died in 1948…sig on a 1973 card? I’m confused.

You give us too much credit Jolly...
Congrats on the pick up, get the guy who signed the Ruth to sign the Hank and Willie and you'll be squared away re; retirement.

That Hubbs card is great. Not that the 73 Ruth isn't. Great stuff!

Late to the party but nice effort, Jolly.
The signature reminds me of the guy that was selling a '53 silver certificate, on the autograph side (or he was selling it elsewhere) and had a Ruth signature he thought was good. LOL...Frank something....

Very nice, very clever and sneaky. Hidden within the message like an erased pencil mark on the front of a T206. It's right there in front of you and you don't even notice it.

I have had these for a while. They are a couple of my best pickups.
