Happy to kick off this month. This weekend I picked up a Grover Cleveland letter and a William McKinley cut (from board member Kirk)...I also picked up sermon notes from C.H. Spurgeon (not pictured)...

Flawless 1962 Pirates team signed ball with super early Stargell plus the very tough Diomedes Olivo. No Clemente on the ball so I didn't have to spend a ton.

1925 'Coaching' by Knute Rockne. Personal copy of Father Matthew Walsh, Notre Dame's President 1922-28 who made the 'Fighting Irish' nickname official in 1927. Rockne added 'Mathew' as an afterthought and misspelled it.
Auction mentioned 'fragments of the dust jacket', but no pics. I found a good background for the parts included, and put them in a dust jacket. Added mylar sleeve over signed page.

Not a very intrisically valuable signature, but one that holds some significance.
This is the signature of Cady Wells. He was a well known southwestern painter and friend of Georgia O’Keefe. His paintings can sell well into the five figures. More importantly, he is my wife’s great-uncle. His brother Mason was also a painter, based in San Francisco. This signature goes along well with the other items from her family I have been able to acquire: A handwritten letter I recently purchased of her great-great-grandfather, one of the founders of American Optical Co. and several handwritten letters by Richard Henry Dana, author of ‘Two Years Before the Mast’ and after whom she is named (middle name is Dana).

Thanks! I was like a kid at christmas today when it showed up. I took photos opening the box because I thought the price was a little too good to be true so I thought there might be a nerf ball in there or something. Happy when the ball and JSA cert were there together.

Not sports, but a legend. Another lucky thrift store find. This one isn't mine, but similar in regards....

Eddie was a sports legend as a auto racer and owner of the Indianapolis Motor raceway. Truly a legend in the racing world. I am not an expert, but if you have an interest, it's worth an extra look

I got these in the mail last week. Erskine took 10 days and Bunning took 15. I haven't sent for any ttm autographs in probably close to 10 years so it felt pretty nice getting them. I think I am getting the autopgraph bug again. Time to work some overtime to pay for postage.

1972 score card with Fergie Jenkins auto on front and ticket stub and paper clipping inside.
What's unique is it was Jenkins 150th win and his last HR he hit in his career. Career HR #13 (Not real sure who the other auto is)

Great card. That was my favorite card from the first year I ever collected. I would love to pick up an autographed version.

I believe the upper portion through Barnard is penned by Hancock. Not sure about the lower portion.

Take a look at that signature, and the line where (supposedly) Hancock wrote the Master's name. Both "James Scott"s were written by the same hand. It is my belief that (authentication notwithstanding) the entire document was written by the ship's Master, Scott. (Notice that the "J"s in John, and both Jameses are identical.)

Although not a rare autograph, I have always loved this photo of Mickey. I used to stare at pictures of the 1952 Topps card and curse my Grandmother for throwing away my Dad's baseball cards. Finally was able to add one (not the baseball card!) to my collection.

We got Baseball stars, Presidents and so much cool stuff. I paid a bit for this, especially in my situation, but there aren't many of these around and Im sure its worth more than I paid. The Department store magnate and Institution
