October Autograph Pickups

[btcarfagno]

Yeah I know...still have a few hours to go. I am just so excited to have won this item that I had to start the October thread.



Joe DiMaggio signed sheet as an 18 year old in the PCL. I am sure there are others out there, but I cannot recall seeing one this early into his pro career.

Love it.

Here is mine. I have not seen many. Nice addition.

Love both of the early pre-yankee Dimaggios! I really enjoy collecting the vintage/playing day sigs, great addition!

Technically picked up at the end of Sept, but oh well...

[Bosox Blair]

I know this is not a rare auto, but buying this and getting it shipped to my door for less than $40 total seems a steal to me...makes me happy .

[johnmh71]

Nice pickup Blair.

[Runscott]

Agreed on Pepitone. Coolest player in baseball

Not a new pickup but I finally got my 3 favorites framed and put on the wall.

Nice display. Look forward to seeing more from you.

I was thrilled to add this "Miner" Brown sig to my collection a couple weeks ago. Being a Cub fan and currently reading the book "Three Finger," this was a fun pick up.

#225-I can't imagine ever getting to 250 with the current HOF lineup.

Nothin' wrong with that Gehrig, Brock. Just remember, whether the signature is bold or worn, Lou held that ball in his hand.

That's the essence of autograph collecting right there. A small moment in that personality's life connected with the object signed. That's the "hook" that gets a lot of us.

Despite all the fraud, nonsense, bickering, bashing, etc. that our hobby causes, it also causes a helluva lot of enjoyment for a lot of people, myself included.

Graph on everyone.

I'm surprised that most would rather let this vintage DiMag ball go for less than the common show-era ones, but it works for me!!

And don't forget it's on the side panel!

Yet I'd still rather have a 1970 personalized side panel HOFer than a 1995 NRMT Bobby Brown. Guess that's what makes the collecting world great!

I usually do not collect autographs but when I seen this listed for sale on our great forum I had to buy it. It is from my hometown. I knew we had a minor league team in 1994 but did not know we did from 1965-70. We had a Phillies A ball team from 65-68 and a Cubs A ball team in 69 & 70. Manny Trillo and Greg Luzinski played here in 68 and Rick Reuschel played here in 70. With out finding this great item I might not have ever known about us having minor league teams for those 6 years from 65-70.
