Thanks! Yeah, this falls in to the woulda-coulda-shoulda category. Wish I would have had a couple of things signed, but $200 in 1989 was a pretty good chunk of change. If I remember right, and I probably don't, this signing was limited to 200 signatures and flats only.

That is some great info and a live recipient witness story doesn't get much better.

I bought a life magazine that was supposedly signed at one of those events. It was pretty early in the ebay days. I'd have to dig it out to see how it looks. hopefully I did not get burned.

Had been doing some excavating, so the Campy was not too deep after all. Pretty sure I have never shared any images of this before. I even managed to save a copy of the ebay auction. I wish I had done that for everything. It's not only good info, but fun to go back in time for a glimpse of what was happening at that time. Turns out, I bought this in July 2002.

If I got taken, the money hasn't been missed, at least not since around July 2002! If it's legit, I got a heck of a deal!

The COA and autograph ticket (from 1991) are meaningless at this point, and frankly were then as well. The seller was in NJ, which is a sign in the right direction, but still meaningless.

I can't make out the last name from the first name on the Cert and that business name didn't bring up anything in a quick search. Anyone have any knowledge/experience with the business or the names (if you recognize)?

Now that I have posted this, I have my doubts this is legit, at least compared to the Front Row and the photo.

The ticket looks to be authentic but that does not mean it actually belongs to the item in question. I don't like the signature and the COA meant nothing then or now. The late 90's to early 2000's were filled with fakes being sold on Ebay. His post accident autographs had no consistency so about the only way to be sure was to have witnessed the signature. I'm surprised the 3rd party authenticators even authenticate his post accident autos.

Agreed about all comments. I had not even seen the item in years. At first I thought maybe the larger item might make signing a little easier as he would not have to focus on keeping within a very small area like a card, 3x5 or even an 8x10. His arm could move as wide as needed, given what control he did have of his limbs. I don't see another post accident looking this "steady", most exhibit a shakiness that would likely be present in his condition.

I found a pre-accident cut, so that beats out any post accident signature as far as i am concerned.

I had not ever seen this image- wow, shows that Campy likely had a positive outlook on life even after such a tragic event. Thanks for sharing (and I of course cannot comment on that signature or the COA's).

I don't like the 3 x 5 cards at all.

Here's the Roy Scribanella's I have. The Photo is a reframe job from an original Scoreboard endeavor, like the ball is.

The leather on the ball was originally signed flat and then stitched on the ball, albeit "BACKWARDS", .

The Christopher Paluso is 28/250

I used to love to see Roy at the Stadium on the old club level. He actually signed a ball for my buddy when he asked him. I never could get up the nerve to ask but would "Shake" his hand. He was very approachable and a very nice guy always with a smile on his face. He had his own spot just to the left of home plate for his wheelchair and 1-seat for Roxy. They were at virtually every game. Everyone knew that WAS ROY's SPOT!
