Lon Warneke vintage signed album page
I recently picked up this nice vintage signed fountain pen AP of "The Arkansas Hummingbird" Lon Warneke.
Warneke pitched a no-hitter in 1941 at Cincinnati and also was an umpire following his career as a pitcher.

Questions/Answers
The Golfers were very gracious. I waited at the 9th and 18th green for most of the autographs. And there was a mix of Kids adults and a large group of Autograph Professionals (easy to tell they had backpacks with Flags, Pictures, balls, etc. and would look to get mostly big names and more than once)
The Kids area's were by the practice area and by the Clubhouse after 18. Many Golfers signed for quite awhile at the Kids area's Ricky Fowler signed for probably 25 minutes and for just kids. Big names on this flag Phil Michelson, Bubba Watson, Sergio Garcia, Jordan Spieth, Padraig Harrington, Jason Day, Ryo Ishikawa, Martin Kaymer, Of the 30 names on the flag I identified 27. Many although not household names are top 100 golfers. The two I missed were Tiger any Rory Both signed that day I waited by Clubhouse and Tiger signed at 9th green and when Rory was Signing by practice area I was on 18th green waiting for Jordan Spieth who despite the huge crowd asking for his auto was VERY nice to everybody. My goal for the day was just one of the following group. Phil, Tiger, Rory, Spieth. And I got two of the four. My wife a Phil fan had him sign her Ticket so all in all a great day. Aside from the autographs lots of great golf good food ton of Pictures just a great day all around. I had access to "The Turn" which was between 9 and 18 and had views of both A/C ,comfortable seats, Nice Restrooms, food, drinks, and outside was rows of seats and tables where you could watch the golf from comfort. We just grabbed a bite and were back walking. Great Tournament I think we are going back Sunday But that is my wife's decision...Happy Mothers day, I am lucky to still be able to call mine. J

Earliest known Johnny Vander Meer autograph as a professional baseball player
I recently purchased a 1933 scrapbook that was assembled by a 12 year old female baseball fan from Dayton, OH. The fan clipped Dayton Ducks box scores and articles for over one season and neatly pasted them into her scrapbook.
The Mid Atlantic inaugural season 1933 Dayton Ducks were the 1st professional stop of LHP Johnny Vander Meer of double no-hit fame. As I slowly thumbed through the pages I was pleasantly surprised to find that an unknown 18 year old rookie named Johnny Vander Meer signed the 12 year old fans' scrapbook. The eBay seller posted some pictures of the scrapbook, but did not disclose that it had several autographs inside including one of Vander Meer even when I asked about it's specific contents. As many of you know, Vander Meer is one of my central collecting focuses. The neat thing is that his early autograph is definitely different than anything that I have ever seen to date. Cool!

This had me thinking: Do you collect the autographs of the umpire behind the plate for the no-hitter? Might be an interesting (and very difficult???) subset to go after.

That's an interesting question. I do own the autographs of the home plate umpire for many of Nolan Ryan's milestones including his 7 no-hitters. I also own the autographs of both home plate umpires for Vander Meer's consecutive no-hitters. This vintage signed prescription pad of a physician in Cincinnati captured both George Magerkurth and Bill Stewart on a single page. Both umpires officiated both of Vandy's no-hitters.

See above.
Now that ComicCon is over for this year, I can get back to getting sports autos. Last edited by SikSyko; 05-22-2015 at 07:45 PM. Reason: Something hapened to where the images were stored
