Sorry I'm late to the party but I just saw this. From my experience, I would not send it in to be signed. I have mentioned before that I sent in an early 70's 3000 hit Sports Ill already signed by Aaron, and Musials sig came back extreamely poor. It's framed in my hallway and it makes me quite sad to see his sig so bad after all the years of his strong penmenship. I would go the mat and frame route with a vintage sig like Jim suggested.

I was just looking at recent signatures on ebay...they are HORRID! Not sure how Topps can even release this stuff (I know, I know).

If someone dug up Ruth's skeleton and put a sharpie in it it would produce better 'signatures' than what Musial is capable of these days....

Again, I appreciate all of the imput here on the boeards. After much thought I am fairly certain that I willl not get the album autographed. It is not like Musial is my favorite all time player although in my top ten for sure. It is also not like I have had this record since my childhood and have always dreamed of getting it signed (a friend found it in a yard sale about three years ago and thought I might appreciate it).

I will go ahead and make some sort of Musial themed display for my "man cave" and it will more than likely hold at least one autographed item but the record will not be one of them. As mentioned before I will be happy to shoew it off after completed. (They tend to take me a while to complete)

If you have any items or even suggestions of any other unique but relativly inexpensive item or items I might be able to include let me know. I am always open to seeing what others might have. PM me or just add to this thread.

Again thaks again to all who gave thier advice and opinions on the matter. I truly do appreciate all of it.

Drew

I'd have it framed along with a signed HOF postcard rather than a cut. You can get a beautifully signed HOF card for around $30.

Here are two cards I had signed by Mr. Musial about 2 years apart. The 1953 was signed about 3 months ago. It is sad to see how his signature has gone downhill but I still love both of the cards. I feel it is an honor to get his signature no matter what it looks like.

If that's an accurate representation of what Mr. Musial's signature looks like today, it's still more legible than many of the autographs signed by today's players.

Lol

Clearly not a lot of pride in his own name. If you can't do something right, why bother at all?
