And with the Dodgers when a well known former player drove off with a ton of memorabilia, which was not being tossed away.

The Giants have been selling game used items for longer than most other teams, and respected (and now deceased) baseball historian Dick Dobbins was director of their memorabilia department. Perhaps the Giants are more in tune with their history and artifacts than other teams. I once had an Ernie Lombardi autographed baseball card that Dobbins had signed in person at Lombardi's home while interviewing him for a PCL history book.

Care to share? I'd love to hear and read more about that .

There was a bunch of Red Sox stuff available around the early 90's. Mostly internal paperwork from the 70's-80's that was supposed to be thrown out. The person told to get rid of it all basically just loaded the boxes into his car instead of the dumpster.

Nothing great that I saw, but I did get an equipment receipt signed by Yaz.

One of my few autographs, and one of the few times I bought the better item instead of a boxful of "junk" (I think it was $20, but I could have had maybe 4 commons for the same price.)

I ran into the same thing later, found a plate from the 400 club on Ebay. The seller had worked there when they changed the name and was allowed to take a bunch of the old china if he wanted it. I got a couple more from him, and he came to deliver them since he'd be in town anyway.

Unfortunately, I guess someone figured out the answer to my question. I wouldn't touch this, even I could afford it.

-I am not trying to this into commentary on haulsofshame, but he did have some pretty strong facts that is item was indeed stolen.

Interesting read. I can't imagine spending a quarter of a million dollars and not remembering when or to whom.

One of our board members (Sunny) has provided detail about his Connor autograph, over in the John Rogers thread in the main forum. You might want to go over there and ask questions/make comments. I gave the last page a peek this morning (joining the morbidly curious), despite my promise to stay out of it, and I have to admit it's quite an interesting read.

Thanks, should make for a great read tonight. I didn't see how it exploded the last few weeks.
