HOF Autograph questions?

Watch for an Oscar Charleston in the next Love Of The Game Auction.

On this board that is known as a shameless plug.

Nice.

No thank you...but nice.

BTW it kills me that I had to fork over $250 so that JSA could give their "blessing" to the thing. C'est la vie.

Seriously?! Don't the auction houses cut some sort of deal to get a reduced rate on bulk submissions?

Bam Bam-Sorry we are hijacking your thread.

Yes but Al was great in helping me with the purchase, so I picked up the tab on the LOA. It's just highway robbery what JSA charges on something like this.

Hey Bam Bam,
Like all others, let me welcome you to the board. I am fairly new here as well and the wealth of knowledge is unmatched, and typically entertaining at the same time.

I am not going to offer you any more insight that you haven't already heard, but as a fellow HOF auto collector, I am always on the prowl for "in person" autos. With that said, on March 14th, Juan Marichal is going to be signing in White Plains. I need him for my collection, so if you would like, I will happily pick one up for you and pass it along. On Sunday, Ozzie Smith is going to be there as well. I already have him and wasn't planning on getting in line, but if you need him, I can always do the favor.

This is the link to the show http://www.nyshows.org/white-plains-...ograph-guests/.

If interested, let me know.

Thanks

Thanks

Like you, I have met every living HOFer and really into IP autographs. Have quite a few future HOFers as well IP (supposed to get Jeter last Thursday, but he was big no show for an event). I am sure you already subscribe, but if not-join www.signingshotline.com

OK, now this thread is really hijacked.

Tom,
Did you consider selling it / auctioning it without a COA. I believe knowledgeable people would have bought it without a COA... I know I would have just based on what I have seen of it.
I will be bidding on it I imagine with a lot of others.
Sorry Bam about the OT topic .

Well, looks like I am out even before I got in....

I think all items now in auctions need at least an auction LOA, if not full LOA. However, for that money I would have insisted on PSA, if I had a choice. Sounds like Tom had to sell through LOTG.
