Jim, on the cut picture of Bottomley, do you know where that originated from? The reason I ask is that I have a signed cut picture of Jim Lindsey that could very well be from the same piece. If I remember right, I believe mine was from the estate of Mike Gonzalez.

Not all that unusual.
Lou Gehrig had a "neat" and a "sloppy" ballpark signature, too:

Mike, The Bottomley picture did indeed come from Mike Gonzalez estate in Cuba

Thanks Jim. I bet that would have been a really cool item when it was all in one piece, although I'm very happy it was cut so that I could get the Lindsey.
Back to the original subject, I've seen a lot more "neat" autos of Bottomley than the messy ones, to the point where I thought the rushed ones were fake when I first started seeing them. Nice to see the variations and confirm that both types are good.

There was no way to keep the Cardinals photo "intact" because by the time I found it insects and rodents had eaten half of it (smile)
