OT: HBO's Real Sports - A Must See Episode

[Archive]

Posted By: Daniel Bretta

I don't really go out of my way to collect autographs, but I have a bunch of autographed baseballs....most of them team signed, and most all of them with impeccable provenance. Plus a majority of my autographed baseballs are all 1930-50's minor league teams that no one would really try to forge anyway because a 1930's clean multi color stitched Goldsmith baseball is probably worth more than a team signed baseball of the 1937 Clinton Owls. I only have two baseballs that I would like to get authenticated, a 1937 Brooklyn Dodgers ball (which I know for certain already that it's real) and an Edd Roush signed ball that I'm not sure of - he did put his lifetime batting average on the ball of .325 - this has since been refigured to .323 after some research by SABR a few years back. The ball has also been signed on the other side by AL Kaline. I got the ball at an estate sale that had no other baseball memorabilia.
