I just picked up 3 autograph albums from the 1952 Olympics held in Helsinki, Finland from a Finnish Olympic collector. He identified some of the signatures in the books but missed one of the most valuable: The coach of the U.S. basketball team, Forrest C. "Phog" Allen. There was not one, but two in the three books. Most foreign collectors recognize the medal winners, but not the coaches. Allen, along with Adolph Rupp, the 1948 U.S. basketball coach, are more valuable than almost every U.S. Olympic basketball player since 1936.

Oh, that is really cool. I used to collect more hockey years ago, but not so much now. Seeing that makes me start to think about digging it out of the closet...

Picked up about a collection of about 120 plaques that were mostly obtained by Wheat and his daughter.
