O/T Who has signed the most autographs

[Al C.risafulli]

I was on a consignment road trip a few years back and I stopped at the Bob Feller Museum in Van Meter, IA. I took a picture of the building and posted it on LOTG's social media, and someone commented "Did he sign it?"

He's the only guy I know who has a hobby joke that everyone says, which is that it's more rare to find a Feller collectible without his autograph than with.

That being said, here are some of the other signatures not listed above that I see constantly:

Lou Boudreau
Larry Doby
Rick Ferrell
Phil Rizzuto
Brooks Robinson
Monte Irvin
Enos Slaughter
Johnny Mize

We've definitely used the Feller joke and the related Rose joke:

Nice 1965 Topps Pete Rose. I see it's not autographed, better not let him see it...

Non-autographed Bob Feller items are probably rarer than signed ones. He signed a ball for me, at the old Municipal Stadium, in the 1980s and was great. I don’t think he hardly ever turned down signing something, and usually for free unless he was at a show.

However, I vote Pete Rose. He is an autograph machine. As I type this, he’s probably set up at a Vegas hotel/casino signing items at this very moment.

Great list Al!

I would add Bobby Doerr, Warren Spahn and Buck O'Neil as three more nice guys who signed a ton of stuff...

Joe DiMaggio and Mickey mantle would be my choice. Joe d was the first I remember doing paid autograph signings in the early 80s?
