April autograph pickups

Thanks for the compliment. I like the Eddie Collins, it is a great image with his usual legible signature. I am still looking for a photo of him, preferably an 8x10, to add to my collection.

I was very excited about getting this, since I was 15 that year and went to a ton of games that season. I cut out the box scores for the 20th win for each of the pitchers and taped them in a binder that the Orioles gave away that year (still have it - signed by Brooks Robinson on the cover). The only problem is that I want to take the picture out to get it authenticated, but I can't figure out how to get the fasteners off!

Aren't they similar to push pins? I have seen this type at shows with no photos and thought that they just pulled apart. I have never owned one as I am not a fan of signed photos sitting against a piece of plastic. Too many chances of it getting damaged.

They're more like the top half of a globe, so unlike pushpins, there's nothing to grab to pull them out.

Added to my HOF collection with a ball signed by Bill McGowan and to my WWII collection with Vern Freiberger's 1946 contract, also signed by Wm. Harridge and Roger Peckinpaugh.

Take a flat blade screwdriver and carefully slide it under the plexiglass and gently twist it back and forth. The plexiglass will pull the tack up and out.

That worked - thanks!

Just came back from a mini vacation and had a loaded mailbox...a few consignments, a few private signings, and a few purchases.
