December pick ups

[r2678]

Ever since I bought Ron Keurajian's book, my interest in baseball autographs has been rekindled. I've dug out my old inventory/collection and found I have over 100 HOF autos, most common but none of recent members. I've already won a couple lots in the just closed RR Auction and have a bid in with Lelands. Anyway, I drove about an hour yesterday to visit a coin dealer. I bought some coins and medals and also these gold plaques. All except the Barlick are dupes but at the price he was asking, I couldn't pass them up.

If you are interested in selling any of the dupes I could probably stand to upgrade a couple of the names you have shown here.

Got my tickets back from the Nolan Ryan Foundation. They are a bargain at $35 a signature.

Nice, Randall!

Yay, me!!! This has been #1 on my autograph "wish list" for quite some time, but haven't had the cajones to pay $1000+ for one. Not perfect, but nice and vintage and I am very happy. Combined with the Cecil Travis bat I posted in the GU section, this has been my best Christmas ever, collecting-wise. (And it will keep on getting better when I unwrap Ron K's book!)

Nice Satchel Paige ball! It's a beauty.

Both of these fighters are virtual locks for the HOF when they are definitively retired:
