Some advice needed about Musial's signature

[almostdone]

Thanks Jarrod. That's the thread that I actually got the idea from about sending in an item to be signed.

I appreciate the input as far as a cut auto to display witht he record but it's not about owning a Musial autograph it's more about getting him to sign something of mine that I already have owned. Living where I do I never get a chance to actually get a autograph in person so I figured this is the next best thing like I'm saying "Mr. Musial. Would you mind signing this for me?". It's more about the romance of the thought I suppose.

It is also a big financial decision for me. According to his web site it would cost $150 plus shipping both ways in order to get it. I don't have the budget at all to just try this on a whim. Meaning if I decide to get it signed than this is basically my big collectible for the year.

Another qestion. I thought I had seen that if you do send something in to him and it comes back with a letter of authenticity also signed by him. Is this true?

I just keep going back and forth on it. It is really more about my admiration for who he was as a player. Like I stated earlier if I had the chance to meet him in person to sign it I wouldn't hesitate even if his signature was nothing more than a circle and scribble.

Here is a link to his older signature compared to his more recient one
