Hall of Fame Yearbooks.

I just updated the first post to include the 1939 edition I found..

I have put my 70-73 booklet with 33 hall of famers in Bill Goodwins current auction. Some of the autographs include Dizzy Dean, Joe Dimaggio, Jackie Robinson, Casey Stengel, Zach Wheat and Ted Williams.

Mark-Love the 1939 one!!! Very nice; where did you get it?

Kenny-Quite an impressive book.

Also, I have two additions to my 1989 50th Anniversary Program. Private signing with Lou Brock set up on SCN and a private signing with Gary Carter set up through JP's.

Most likely wont be going out in the mail for awhile until I see a really good deal I can't pass up on. I dont think I mentioned it earlier in this post, but I had it sent out to Herzog at one point (before adding Lasorda, Harvey, Brock, and Carter) and thought it was lost. Somehow made its way back to me.

Coop,
Didn't see your question before.
I got the 1939 book on ebay.
Paid a bit more than the others, but well worth it.
Best,
Mark

Coop, you have some really nice autos on there...a lot of the oldest living hof'ers and recently deceased. You may want to hustle and get people like Berra, Kiner, Musial and Weaver since they're all getting up there in age.

Mike,
I've told him the same thing. It's especially true with Musial.
The great man is really getting shaky.
It will be a tremendous loss for our country, baseball, and collectors when he passes. I hope it isn't soon, but it wouldn't surprise me at any time.

It's really sad in Musial's case because he seemed so vibrant and strong for so long and his sig was the same way up until about a year or so ago. I saw where Lasorda recently had a heart attack, and I've heard Berra talk recently and he's seems to really be slowing down as well. I don't think people will realize what we've lost until these greats have passed. They are the last links to a great baseball era.

I've tried to cut down on spending money on autographs within the past 6-12 months or so. I am actually liquidating some of my collection that doesn't involved HOFers. I grew up a huge Syracuse Basketball fan and I am attempting to get Syracuse basketball season tickets. I'm not talking about the upper tank; I want pretty good seats. It's not cheap, but I am trying to meet all of the donation and seat licensure requirements the first year so as to not worry about it later. I'm 34 right now, and figured that if I can get in on these seats when I am not married and dont have any kids, they will be something I will have in my family to use for years to come. Syracuse basketball is central NY's equivalent to SEC football in the South.
