Agreed, Scott. That turned out really well. Congrats!
BTW, it's really sad to hear that Mr. Howe is not doing too well health wise these days. He's a genuine icon.

[parker1b2]

Howe piece came out really nice Scott.

[Runscott]

Beautiful, Scott. A beater looks better framed than a nice one imo.

[HRBAKER]

Scott that turned out great!

[yanksfan09]

[Runscott]

Thanks.

Happy to add this Jim Henson framed check from a board member...

I actually picked up this Teddy Ballgame a month or so ago and just got around to posting. I purchased and sold a vintage Ted Williams George Burke 4x6 photo a year or so ago and was regretting it...so I was glad to add this one to my collection. The back has vintage notation explaining how the signature was obtained during the summer of 1941, which I thought made it even more special.

Hey, someone else has one of these! I believe mine was signed in 1940 - having yours to compare it to helps, especially the 'W'!

Pls excuse the modern era post, but for a Jays fan one can't go back further than 1977, and as iconic Jays go, one can hardly do better than Roberto Alomar. Robbie graciously signed my 1992 WS ball at a Jays Winter Road Tour stop luncheon here in Calgary this afternoon.

[Klrdds]

Is it the photo or is it my eyes but has Alomar's signature changed recently? It looks nothing like my ball and photo that I got 10 years ago.
Just curious.

You are correct...not as fluid and flowing as in the past. And without adding "12". Not sure why, as it wasn't rushed. Perhaps a HOF election and the corresponding onslaught of sig requests made him adjust?

[Klrdds]

It is a nice autograph but I guess it is another example of the deteriorating signature of the American athlete.
It was never like this in my opinion until the late 1990s early 2000s.

The Reds caravan was at the local mall a couple hours ago and Joe Morgan was there. I have had this card signed by Rose and Perez since 85 or 86 amd have wanted to get Morgan to sign it ever since. 30 years later l finished the card. I also had him sign a ball that also has Mantle, Grimes, Terry, Hubble, Ford, Jackson, Kaline, Gehringer, Mize, Feller, Sewell amd Dickey. I figured thay eventually l would have toay to get the card signed but got it done no charge.

[Klrdds]

Congratulations on finishing the card....a long wait but worth it. You must feel good.

Nice!

Congrats! Morgan is a notorious grouch when it comes to signing for free. How was his mood?

He didn't seem to be in a bad mood, but then again they were there from 5 till 8:30 exactly amd my son and l got the items signed at 8:28. We were told no autographs after 8:30 so we just made it. I noticed he had ballpoint pens and red, black and silver sharpies. I was afraid that may be the case so brought my own blue one which he kept, but l figured its a small price to pay, lol. They also had Devin Mesoraco, manager Bryan Price and minor leaguer Alex Blandino.

Morgan is an absolute d@%k. I was 10 years old trying to get his autograph, along with John Miller because the baseball tonight crew was there at the Metrodome. So, I want them both to sign and Morgan keeps passing over me time and time again. Kept following where he was signing next and then pretty much yelled and me saying he signed for me and to leave him alone. Almost didn't want to buy a signed rookie of his because of that interaction.

[Lordstan]

Not old and not baseball, but pretty cool if you ask me. I always wanted one of these.

[HOF Auto Rookies]

I got my 2014 Phil Hughes game used jersey signed. This is one of my coolest and quite possibly rarest item I have. The importance of this is that he wore this jersey en route to setting the MLB record for best strikeout/walk ration in history.

Very cool, Skip. Dale Murphy sure has a nice, classy looking signature.
Not unlike the man himself. Great player!

[Nashvol]

Thank you Scott. He was quite a guy, very approachable and pleasant too.

Respectfully, how can the #72 Hamburger jersey be "game used" when that version of the Twins jersey was just revealed a couple months ago?

Pitcher if I remember correctly?

Probably remember the quietly infamous headline "Guardado traded for a Hamburher" lol. Yessir, when he was with the Pads or 'Stros I believe. And yes, a pitcher.

Great idea for a signing, Giovanni. I waited too long and will have to use a basketball.
