Great pick ups everyone. i have one question?? not meaning to be an ass but why is mike shannon on that heroes STL card? he is a hero of topps high #'s and thats about it.

I know it's not baseball, but I have so many memories of watching his monologue on Friday nights with my grandmother when I was a kid.

Ladies and gentlemen... Heeeeeeere's Johnny!





I really love the fact that it's signed on a napkin and that the person that got it dated it (spelling Johnny's name wrong). It adds to the charm of it IMO.

That's a neat item; What I like about it is that Carson appeared to test the pen on the napkin prior to signing it.

Jerrod,
I love the Johnny Carson signed napkin, too! A really cool celebrity signed piece.

I was at my in-laws' house when this auction ended, and my father-in-law can get competitive, so we overpaid for this (he footed most of the bill, MY MAN!). I do love the piece and have filled a huge hole in my HOF auto collection. This makes 228 different HOF autos.

Hey Danny,

A lot of times these sheets were produced in conjunction with either a "Heroes" game that happened before a real game or a "Heroes" event of some sort at the stadium. The sheets most often were tailored by who was to appear. In the case of Shannon the fact that he has been a Cardinals broadcaster since his retirement 40 years ago contributes to his stature in StL.
