Common actually means ordinary. You make it sound like we are talking about Hank Greenberg.

Even Heritage has only sold a handful over the last five years with one signed photo selling for over $12,000, none on eBay and I searched five big historical autograph sites and none in their inventory.

I still disagree with you and I have been buying and collecting for over 30 years.

If they are so common, find me three for sale...somewhere, anywhere. :-)

The only problem with a cool book like that is that the Roach's will likely use it, or their suppliers, to attempt forgeries of the really rare guys, like Galvin, Chesbro, Kelly.. Oh, wait....

With all due respect David, I don't understand how you can make that argument that SB's signatures are common, when they seldom show up for sale, collectors of that genre have a tough time locating the signature and there are none on eBay, ever.

If they were in fact common, they would be all over the place and readily available for collectors. There would be 20-25 on eBay per week and catalogs would not have one a year, but dozens and dozens. I would consider the signature rare, and I don't mind jumping into this debate

They don't "seldom show up for sale." You can find one or two (or more) each year or so. I consider that "common"; i.e. if you want one, you can get one.

On the other hand, there are many serious collectors of HoF autographs (virtually all, I daresay) who don't have a Keeler or a Joss. And they never will.

Those autographs are rare.

You provide the funds, Dan, and I'll get you a Sitting Bull.

Here's one for you now, Dan, if you're interested:

We started talking about Sitting Bull's autograph yesterday. I found you one today. Hardly rare.

I'd say you've made your point David!

From the seller of the Sitting Bull:
"Bold signature on a card measuring 3 inches wide by 1 3/4 inch high. A fine example of a rare autograph. $12,500"
