This was a team that played for a national championship but I can't remember if they won. Signed by many notable Badgers players, including Curtis Joseph, whose signature was sloppy even then, but there was more to it than what you get from him now. $75

The following signed photos were shot by me. I will be happy to send photos of any you are interested in.

Basketball:
Buffalo Braves - Two 8x10 black and white team issued photos, one of John Shumate, the other of Adrien Dantley. Comes with the original Buffalo Braves mailing envelope. You don't see much from this franchise today. Neither is signed, but these are scarce. $30

Smokey Burgess - small sheet of paper, slightly larger than 5x7, where he answered questions about the best pitcher he ever caught (Robin Roberts), and the best player he ever saw (Roberto Clemente), signed at bottom. $20

Joe Charbeneau - signed color 8x10 shot by me at old Milwaukee County Stadium. Joe is in he road grays and signed very lightly in ballpoint. $5

This item is a series of 5x7 photographs that were shot during the first Cubs Old Timers Day. They never did this until Dallas Green became the GM in the early 80s. I took my camera and shot a series of photos moving down the third base line as the players were lined up along the line. There are a total of six photos and they are signed by: Johnny Klippstein, Don Kissinger, Randy Hundley, Hank Sauer, Ron Santo, Claude Passeau, Milt Pappas, Don Elston, Leo Dourousher, Billy Williams, Moe Drabowski, and Billy Connors. With the right framing job, this would be a great single piece. $75

1980 Orange Bowl Program and ticket stub. Unsigned $10
