Some advice needed about Musial's signature

[almostdone]

Hearing that makes me sad. I almost feel guilty asking about all of this. I wish I had the foresight to do this a few years ago but now I'm not sure what is the best thing to do.

Part of me wants to just leave him alone and let him try to have a little peace at this point in his life.

Any other thoughts?

I don't think you mentioned what the item was, because in my view that makes a difference.

If it was a rare one of a kind item, I would probably keep it as-is.

If it is a more common item, I'd send it in and get it signed. Even if the sig is poor, it still passed through his hands, and ultimately that is more important than having a textbook perfect signature.

As a collector I have a long list of regrets from waiting too long on any number of people. Other than items that went missing and never returned, I can't think of one regret from sending an item.

He has a Stan the Man record that is in pretty good shape

Very sad to hear indeed. I loved Stan's signature. Seems we may lose another All time great legend soon.

Got this a while back from a Net54'er. This is how Id love to remember Stan's signature
