Scott,
Put me down as also loving that VanderMeer photo -- that's the kind of thing that really sets your collection apart. I also really like the boot drawing on the back -- if you frame it I would go with double-sided glass. Greg

Not exactly an autograph but I picked up this photo of The Babe last night. I love it. He's signing bats while in the military for other soldiers stationed around the country. The tags on the bats have the names of different bases on them.
The best part about the photo though is that it was taken on July 22, 1926. Exactly 59 years to the day before I was born.

Here's my big score for the month. It's a 1930's autograph album, 200+signatures, over 20 Hall of Famers, 99% of them signed in black steel tipped fountain pen. Beautifully bold Lou Gehrig. I will enjoy going through the couple hundred names and seeing if there are any really tough non HOFer's in there. Here's a few scans.

Brandon,
Thanks, I had been trying to get this autograph album for a couple months and am having a great time with it so far. It's not really bound any more so the pages are removable, so I plan to sell some and recoup part of the cost. I am going to work on getting the other pages scanned in soon, and if people don't mind, I would love to show them and see if anyone else spots some toughies. I have about 95 percent of the ID'd but admittidely I don't know a lot of the obscure, potentially rare names.

"Death Valley" Scott
I finally was able to add a terrific vintage fountain pen cut of Death Valley Jim Scott of the Chicago White Sox to my collection of no-hit pitchers. On May 14, 1914 Scott threw 9 innings of no-hit ball against the hometown Washington Senators before giving up a hit in the 10th inning.
Death Valley Scott is a very elusive non-HOF signature which has been a tough name to find. His death date of 1957 and the fact that he spent much of his post baseball career off the grid are both factors in his signature being a tough one to locate. Many thanks to a close hobby friend and fellow net54 board member Howard Singer for helping provide a world class assist. For those of you that don't know Howard, he has been one of the largest collectors of all things Chicago White Sox and he is truly one of the nicest guys in the hobby. Thanks Howard!

Finally!
Been waiting a while to get a Waitkus ball. I lost out on this very ball on ebay a while back, then won it for less through Heritage last month.

Bobby Doerr
Pick up this 1941 Bobby Doerr card (released it from its PSA slabbing) off of eBay for $30.00 and then get it signed TTM for free. Not the rarest combo but for a $30 investment (plus a couple of stamps) not too bad.

They just opened up the December auction and as expected, still a ton of Ted stuff on there.
