Pretty sure the Ruppert with the swirly is actually Barrow's sig.

Contracts aside....the entire auction went for insane $$$$ I placed healthy bids on a number of items and couldn’t even keep pace with the numbers being thrown out there. Happy for anyone who won some needed items.

I regularly follow RR for non-sports autographs. When I saw these contracts I had to avoid looking until the auction was over. In my opinion there were so many big contracts that some 'small' stuff snuck through, such as the Chief Bender and Ryan contracts.

I was very pleased to pick up the Ted Williams handwritten letter. I collect antique revolvers and handwritten letters, so this was a real score as Williams alludes to his interest in competitive shooting.

Kind of weird - no PSA loa for this, yet it is used as an exemplar on PSA's website.

it is. Especially when he adds his initials, "EGB."
