December autograph pickups

[Topnotchsy]

One of the dangers perks of this site is finding auction houses I had not known of.

I own a '34 Japan Tour that was actually signed in Hawaii. This is from a '32 US Tour to Hawaii. Image only shows one side but along with Ruth, Jimmie Fox, Mickie Cochrane, Moe Berg, Lefty O'Doul and others signed as well.

(I added this over on the card side as well.) Am super thrilled about adding this gorgeous signed card to my collection. I don't normally go after the signed Goudeys, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Lefty Grove, who has always been one of my favs. I've been looking out for a clean signature on the Goudey for years.

Congrats, great pick up! I was underbidder. Went for a great price relative to what it commanded raw in Huggins. earlier this year.

Did you notice that it also sold last month in Heritage for $2,031.50?

I don't understand what's going on with this card that it's been auctioned three times since August. But, I can assure you it will be staying put with me for quite some time!

#247, and most likely my last pickup for the year, thanks to fellow board member, whyconform.

Nice! Was hoping to add another name before the end of year myself but am not sure it will happen unfort.

I bought a used copy of _Press Box Red_ the story of the communist newspaper man Lester Rodney and the integration of baseball. Under $4. I corresponded with Mr. Rodney years ago and received a thoughtful letter. Book arrived and little did I know it would be signed by Lester Rodney and the author Irwin Silber. Sweet! Wish my name was Mike. Unexpected new auto day.

I watched those signed lots in HA but guess I missed adding the Grove to my watch list. Really weird though, think that Huggins price was like $3700 pre slab. Maybe the HA buyer thought they would get closer to Huggins the price on ebay? Regardless, beautiful card. Glad that Lefty has finally found some life stability.

Not a bad deal you got on that as well. Congrats!

Thanks! I thought it was pretty reasonable, so I'm happy with it.

Not having scans of the other sides of the ball it remains to be seen whether it looks similar, better or worse, so I'll have a surprise when it arrives.

A ton of nice autographs . The all American girls signed photo is so cool . I never seen anything like it .
