Mack, if you read the rules when you joined, when you post in a thread like this, you need your whole name in it somewhere, unless your real name happens to be Mackdaddy

Pardon me while I stop .
E mail me a copy of your museum credentials and I will offer you some fantastic stuff from my personal collection, I promise.

I may be mistaken, but I believe the Walter Johnson page from this book was recently sold at auction...

Pretty sure runscott posted photos in the auto forum looking for opinions...

That said, I think it would rule out shilling....

And on another note: if I owned it, I would happily accept 6500 for the book!

If I owned it I would happily accept a LOT LESS then that.
Like an earlier comment said "where are the Ruth and Gehrig?"

I think Big Daddy er,, Mackdaddy just insulted this entire board.

Mr. Daddy
I do not want to ruffle feathers but you say you are buyer for a museum, is there a name to it or a theme for it? It seems to me that the term museum is a bit arbitrary--somewhat akin to those of us that have a crucifix or menorah in our homes calling ourselves a church or temple. I could not conceive of making an offer of this amount for this item or any item without more info and scrutiny about it. I have been collecting for 45 years and have never made that large of a purchase without due diligence, of course if you are a buyer for a museum you may not be using your hard earned money but those of your backers or customers or maybe even corporate or government grants to purchase items or even this item...good luck I envy you if that is the case and I think of all I could do with others money!
I also think you will find most , if not all of the members here have museum quality items in our collections, but we call them collections not museums .
So forgive me if I have been impolite questioning you and your museum statement among other statements you posted but you see skepticism comes with the hobby.

All I can say to bullgill (OP) is don't spend that money yet.

Richard,
The original Poster made this thread back in June and this book has since been sold at auction and ebay.

Round and round it goes and who knows what the hell is going on.
It seems every day there is some new idiocy going on in this hobby.
Gets very discouraging,,,

Unfortunately Ebay makes it very easy for the jerks to operate and scam people. There are so many forgeries on EBAY it is mindblowing. A friend who is a Larry Bowa fan showed me a horrible fake Bowa he bought for $5 on EBAY. Imagine if people will stoop that low to forge Bowa, an easy autograph just how prolific it is. There was that UsCaine guy who had private signings with Don Wilson, Bob Moose, Mike Miley, Herman Hill among others. He sold probably about $10,000 before he was suspended. He will just resurface under a different name. Think about how much the autograph market has been held
by the sale of Bob Moose signed cards for $20 to $40. Its a joke how ebay does nothing.

So much bull and so little time. Please tell me what auction house sold this item and how much and who authenticated this wonderful item.As far as ebay is concerned who cares.

[Chris73]

It's just a page from a old autograph book of mine. By the way, I can't seem to figure out who the last signature is from, the one that looks like the first name might be Leonard. If anyone recognizes who it is, I'd love to know! - Thanks

I'm pretty sure the book was taken apart and pages were sold by RR Auctions like a month or two ago.

I'm sure there's at least one member who collects pennies. Really old ones, but yeah, pennies. And I'd bet we have at least one who collects rocks.

I've collected both at times, but haven't done much for years so I didn't count myself.

Oddly, I've never traded a horse.........
