April Autograph Acquisitions aka New Pickup Thread

[Exhibitman]

Sorry, couldn't resist the alliteration.

Rick Barry's bar mitzvah photo:



April 1 slight [very slight] joke; he only looks 13 in it.

[RichardSimon]

An ALS, an LS and an inscribed album page, all signed by William McKinley, all are pre-Presidential.

[7nohitter]

Adam,that's not alliteration. Sorry, I know it's petty, but I just taught it to my class last week.

[Scott Garner]

A minor addition to my vintage no-hit signed card collection:

Tigers double no-hit pitcher Virgil Trucks signed 1949 Bowman card which originated from the same collection as my Dick Fowler that I just acquired last week.

Love those vintage fountain pen signatures!

[yanks12025]

Kris Bryant signed picture. Guy(Arthur) said he received it during spring training sending out fan mail. So hopefully Bryant actually signs his mail but it looks good to me.

[Zan]

Happy to get this one in!

[itjclarke]

I thought it was alliteration??

Anyway, picked up a few signed cards recently, Duke looks a nicer in person--

Picked up my second Ray Brown autograph in an auction a few weeks ago. It is not the prettiest example of his signature and part of the "n" is cut off, but nevertheless the price was too good and with his scarcity, approximately 10-12 known examples of his signature, I could not pass it up. Plus there is some other writing in Spanish in his hand as well.

Nice addition Kevin!!!!

George Burns and Gracie Allen in a comic pose and Eddie Cantor from his film Ali Baba Goes to Town.

[thenavarro]

Took this one in on trade for a couple of signed rookie cards. One of the famed Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, my alma mater.

[rsn1661]

Eddie Cantor's eyes look like he needed to see a doctor real soon.

Bought this ball for the vintage Max Carey autograph, but the more I look into it, the more I like it. I posted a thread asking for more info on Les Mann's team, if anyone has any.

#232, first new pickup (besides upgrades) in quite sometime

The Father of Professional Baseball

[84GlassOnions]

As well as this Comb's letter. Also picked up a nice 8x10 and 33' Goudey to frame it with.

[84GlassOnions]

Glad to pick these up.

But here are my most recent acquisitions, one my favorites in my entire collection now is this Yaz. It is a rookie/early signature and then signed again with his modern signature. Hardly see any signed rookies with an early signature on it, and I've never seen one with both.

It is noted in the LOA for Spence that it was indeed signed in two different time periods.

Brent:

Any idea what the stamp on the back of the Marquard is from?

[packs]

The original collector stamped his name.

That's what I had figured from other previous T206's with stamps, but hopefully I can find the specific owner and tie it to a collection!

Wish I did, haven't researched it yet.

I have a Millers signed ball from Yaz that is very similar. Must be a pretty early sig.

Picked up this badass autograph from one of the greatest movies and greatest actors of alltime.

Oh wow, I thought early rookie era, not possibly an actual 1960-61 autograph.

Maybe Jim or some of the others can chime in on the auto and tramp stamp. May have to post the tramp strap on the main forum to see if anyone has something similar.

Thanks, Brent, it is.

Real autograph collectors don't "just settle" for a particular autograph.

I now have his autograph on everything from a baseball to a bat, to a newspaper clipping to a NY Yankees yearbook, etc.

Thank you very much guys.

Congrats on the nice pick up. It is always a great feeling to find something that you have wanted for a long time and knowingly passed up the same item to wait and get the one you really want.

It is. Thank you very much.

[HOF Auto Rookies]

I'm doing the same sort of with Mauer, he's my Tress I guess you can say. Two cards away from every possible 2002 and over 300 autos total. Obviously not as scarce or hard to find with a signed clipping etc.

But awesome non the less!

Chris,

If you filled the void with a Tresh signed rookie you didn't prefer, would you have still searched for your Tresh ink signed?

Honestly, I would never make a purchase "just to fill the void."

I waited years for the one I bought.

I've seen a few of his sigs on his 1963 Topps card, but I never considered buying any of them.

[7nohitter]

Congrats on the acquisition, Chris!

[stat192]

Picked these 2 up this past week, I have never seen a 1941 signed Rizzuto Double Play for sale before, so I purchased it immediately.

[thenavarro]

Got this beautiful Theodore Roosevelt signed Naval Commission. It was prepared by another hand, and signed boldly by President Roosevelt. It was evidently never finished, as it's not co-signed by the Secretary of the Navy., nor have the paper seal attached. Stellar Teddy piece.

April has been a busy month for me, mostly in person football items.
Here are a couple of Baseball items I've been hesitant on buying due to cost but finally pulled the trigger on these

[yanks12025]

Ted Williams signed painting.


Andrew Lincoln(Rick) signed photo from walking dead. This was a thru the mail auto.
