I actually got that card signed. Back in about 1989 I was looking all over for one and that was the only one I had any luck getting. I really didn't want a trimmed one but beggars Cant be choosers. Joe was a great signer and always wrote a little letter with the autograph. Glad to see it's still around

Got my Holy Grail yesterday at the Philly Show... Compliments of Kevin Keating.

Babe Ruth 1920's Cut... I woke my framer up this morning to see if he could put it together for me today...

I just picked up this team issued post card of Hall of Famer Dave Niehaus from 1983. The Mariners used to issue these for every player and coach for autograph requests and player appearances. According to the Earliest Collectibles of Baseball Hall of Famers thread, they list the earliest known Niehaus item was from 1995 so this pre-dates it by 12 years.

Around 12 years ago, a card shop that specialized in odd ball Seattle Mariners memorabilia showed me an example of this postcard (unsigned) and said that he had never seen one before in all his years of collecting. Since then this is the only other one I have seen (always in the market for Mariner postcards that I don't have). I wish that it was not personalized to James and by looking at it close I don’t see any way of removing the personalization.

Ok. So here are my latest additions.
Pretty pumped.
Also a very good lesson in patience.

In May, during Henry Yee's last ayction, many of you may remember that I bid and lost out on both the Dolph Camilli and KiKi Cuyler signed 1934 Goudeys. The Kuyler went for >$1900 and the Camilli for >$200.

Now I was really pissed about losing the Cuyler, as I had never seen one prior and was sure there couldn't be too many of these around. The Camilli made me mad because, really, who spends over $200 on a Dolph Camilli auto?

One of the most valuable lessons my father taught me about collecting is to be patient. He would point out that very few things are truly one of a kind. If you've seen one, another will come up in the future.

He is correct again and as it turned out I didn't have to wait another 20yrs to find them. Plus I saved about $400 combined as compared to the prices of the ones in May.

Last month I picked up Camilli.




A couple of weeks ago I won this Cuyler in the Collect Auction auction.





BTW, I have to send a huuuuge thank you to the wife for allowing me to get the Kuyler as a combined Birthday/Christmas present. Did I mention that I really love her?

With these 2, I am now at 75 out of 96. Not too bad for an 80yr old set.

Way to go Mark!
That Camilli is nice. i got one signed back in the day but you got a period autograph on it and I doubt there are very many like that.
