January Autograph Pickups

[Scott Garner]

I just received this 2006 program to The Perfect Evening, which celebrated the 50th anniversary of Don Larsen's World Series Perfect Game.
HOFer Randy Johnson (The Big Unit) just added has signature and perfect game date inscription to the program.

This has been a project that I started in 2006 and I now have 10 of the 11 living perfect game pitchers that had pitched a perfect game by 2006. A long-time hobby friend of mine Joe DeMattio (RIP) attended this event and sat at Tom Browning's table and was thoughtful enough to have him sign and personalize the program for me.

Kenny Rogers (AKA The Gambler) is the last remaining signature that I need to complete this project. Unfortunately, Rogers is an infrequent signer at shows, so I guess I have to continue playing the waiting game..

Just picked this one up, it is a great looking signature and loved the way Frank "Home Run" Baker would sign his autographs. JSA rated a 10 and can see why it is a really eye catching piece and you know how that goes...Had to have it...lol

Got the Eppa Rixey check in and framed it up this morning.

This will become a custom cut.

I am not trying to sound obnoxious because it is your piece but why would you cut the photo ?
Granted it has a stain but photos are much more displayable and valuable and easier to get a LOA on than a "cut".
It's your piece but I would keep it as it is.

Understandable question. It is a magazine page, not an actual photo. I don't chop up nice pieces. I chop what I can afford to buy; Uglier stuff.
But, I like cards and collection consistency.

As a Pirate fan, I started with them, and am progressing to other players I like. Robinson, for obvious reasons. W.Johnson; from where I live and buried 2 miles from where I am typing this.




And no, I didn't cut a Wagner check, it was already a cut when I bought it.

It is your collection Jeffery, so you should enjoy it as you wish, but I have to agree with Kevin. IMO, you are taking are taking a more valuable item and making it a less valuable item. I always find it unfortunate when people destroy things like this. Perhaps if it was just a piece of a piece of scrap paper, I could understand. I just think you could make a really nice display out of that photo by matting out the stain like this...
