Perfect Game Pitchers Collections

Is Kenny Rogers that tough now? I got him a bunch of times at Tigers spring training when he was on the team.

Wow. He sells for a lot on eBay. I had no idea.

The thing with The Gambler is that he infrequently does paid signings. The last time he did, his asking price was somewhere around $125. The Rogers ball that was posted on this thread features an extremely long "y" and "g" that I am not familiar with either. I have managed to get Rogers' sig once while on the Rangers and twice while on the Tigers. None of these sigs looked like the one on the ball.

Isaac,

I would agree with Packs that a couple of the perfect game pitchers mentioned appear to be "drawn" on some of these balls, not signed. Further due diligence would be helpful.

I'm with you that this is a fun theme to collect since the number of perfect game pitchers Don Larsen and beyond is definitely attainable.

Here are a few perfect game pitcher sigs that I received in person, just as a means of comparison.

I hope this helps.

Scott - I know this is getting repetitive at this point, but I'll say, once again, that love that Koufax signed ticket!

Thanks Mark. I really love the way the ticket turned out too.
I've actually owned the stub since the mid 1990's and it's one of my favorites in my collection.

It came out of a collection of 15 no-hit and perfect game tickets that I acquired and was the crown jewel. This same collection also contained a ticket stub from Jim Bunning's perfect game in 1964 that was vintage signed in ball point pen in the 1960's.

Mark,
Here you go! I have posted this once before, BTW

Sorry this took long to respond..

The Rogers I got in person at a game the 3rd time he played for the Rangers (2004) I believe

The Cone I got in person when he was at a rehab assignment in Norwhich in 1996

The Martinez and Koufax could very well be fakes since I got them from a guy with some other baseballs.

The Bunning I bought at a show a while back, no cert so I got a good deal and it looks real good to me, issue is that the marker is fading...

Thoughts everyone?
