February autograph pickups

[esiason14]

Let's get the party started.

[David Atkatz]

Picked up this George Eastman ADS (signed three times.)



It goes with my 1888 original "The Kodak" camera--the black one. (The first Kodak manufactured by Eastman.)

[thenavarro]

Cool camera

Thanks to Mr. Stinson....Herb Pennock, Earle Combs, and Bill Dickey signed album page...also, an original George Brace photo of Herb Pennock (lines on photo are from scanner).

[tazdmb]

Nice piece, I saw that and Jim's list at a great price.

Agreed, that is cool especially considering the immense pressure he was under.

I really like the Brown. Early childhood hero of mine while growing up in northern Ohio. What you need now is a Milt Plum.

Thanks, it is a really clean sig (arrived today) on a pretty clean card. Not sure why the MC, since it's got distinct borders on all 4 sides front and back?

I have a bro in law who coached with the Browns this year. He got to know Jim Brown and by the end of the season they'd apparently formed a loose friendship. He said he's a great guy, which is nice to hear because I know he's gotten a lot of flack for various things over the years. I'm pretty sure before the season ended, got a really cool photo of the two of them hanging out at the facility signed (last I saw he'd had it enlarged and was all ready to ask). Very curious to see it next time I visit.

[esiason14]

I love the '48 leaf set

[Rays & Mariners]

This was a project from last and this year. I need to get Coach Carroll on here somehow but most everyone else is on it. 45 signatures the last time I counted.

Just completed another '63T Perry card

[39special]

I got this from a board member.

[esiason14]

From a site member

[gregr2]

Nothing too special, but I had to have one ( 8 X 10).

I added some snapshot to my "HOF snapshot collection":

Probably one of my favorite and best hauls! I got this from a guy's who's mother went to baseball games and took pictures of her favorite players. Then the next day she would get the film developed to have the picture signed by the player for the next time they were in town. Here's some of the pictures I got. She lived in Pitt,PA.

Jackie Robinson signed on Aug 3, 1949 turns out it's fainted autograph, really nice pen indentation. Jackie went 1/5 that game.:





Duke Snider Aug 3, 1949 Again, great indentation on photo hard to see with hardly any ink. Says, "Best wishes" in the corner. Snider went 5/5 with 5 RBIs and a HR.:




Forbes Field 1957 against Dodgers:


Robin Roberts- Looks like he signed it once and didn't work so he signed it again, did a better job.




Richie Ashburn-Not signed, but still a cool picture.


Robin Roberts-Sept 1951 signed nicely.

[daves_resale_shop]

Got the Mantle from a board member & got this back from my framer today... Mantle auto'ed Silver sharpie restaurant card with a stub from his second to last game (last time getting on base-Walk)

THanks again James

[jgmp123]

Wow Dave!!! What a turnaround. That's a beauty!!!

[packs]

Picked up this neat photo and signature of Charlie Root from 1929. Thought it was a great piece.

[r2678]

I'm surprised no one has commented on Robert's tie. You don't see ties like that any longer!

[esiason14]

Nothing vintage, but some interesting early career cards and autos.

[Big Six]

I had just about given up on getting this one back as rumor had it that Mr. Harvey was pretty sick and no longer signing. Have to assume he has recovered enough and glad to add this one to my collection...

[HRBAKER]

Was able to get the third signature on this 1982 WS wirephoto this past weekend:

Jeff,

Be careful with those laser/fax press photos. They are very sensative to light and will degrade easily. This is one you will probably want to put in an archival sleeve and put in a binder rather than displaying it.

That's where it is as I type.

[yanks12025]

Joe DiMaggio and Duke Snider signed photo. Looks like Joe did a very rushed auto.

[GrayGhost]

Not sports, but another signed book found today at a thrift store. Sebastian Junger signed PERFECT STORM book. For sale soon..

[Zan]

Got this for a great deal on eBay

[GrayGhost]

It's been a pretty good week so far for me at spring training in Arizona. Survived the crush to get Koufax to lead things off



Donnie Baseball was great and signed this 1995 ALDS ticket for me. His first playoff game.



Mariners camp was great. I got King Felix and Cano. Both were great signers which surprised me. Also got Taijuan Walker not pictured.





Went to Angels camp today. Trout signed a lot but only for small children. Albert and Weaver both ignored everyone but I was able to get MVP Josh Hamilton.

[Lordstan]

Nice work at Spring Training. The Koufax is great. Congrats.

[David Atkatz]

Except for the Koufax, those are the most absurd "signatures" I have ever seen.

Someone ought to publish a picture book of modern ballplayer "signatures" so that, a month or so after obtaining them, people will be able to identify the autographs in their collections.

[theshleps]

I did AZ spring training for 10 years but have retired. Congrats on Koufax. Never saw that sloppy a one. I know the crowds were horrendous but with the rope there did he feel so rushed or was he pushed? Just wondering why it came out as it did- or are 78 years catching up with his handwriting. Great job!

David,
I mostly concur with what you stated with the exception of "King" Felix Hernandez. I think his sig is somewhat distinctive and has style.

BTW, I must say that if the poster didn't say that he got Sandy Koufax in person that I wouldn't have thought that this sig was real. His IP autograph has really significantly changed recently.

Packs, nice job on running down some particularly big names at spring training!

Scott-
Completely agree about the Koufax...if it had been posted in one of those "Is this real" threads I'll bet the consensus would be 'no'.

Great graphs though!

[packs]

The crowds for Koufax are intense. There were a few hundred people trying for him and he sort of just picks and chooses what he signs and moves on down the line and moves very quickly. As soon as he stops crowds come charging so I don't blame him. I got him Monday and have only heard hard luck stories from other guys at the other camps who couldn't get to him. Him being out here is the talk of the town.

Today is Rangers camp. Hoping for more luck.

Thanks! Got it for cheap too! Made me happy!

[khkco4bls]

Dont know why people collect autos these days there a joke. I would never be able to guess who these people are.
