Congrats on your collection of baseballs signed! Wow~!

Is there a story, Jeff, and has Grad OK'd it?

Conspiracy theory alert:
Is it possible that the 'Z' looking flourish under his name is for "Zimmerman"??

One of Bob’s close friend’s is a friend of mine and he got me the ball. At some point I’ll get all the balls in my collection authenticated before selling them, but there’s hundreds of them.

Congrats on completing the journey. I wonder how Lenny Wilkens felt about signing a card that spelled his name wrong.

That’s a crazy cool accomplishment! I bet tracking down the one of one was a great feeling!
Enjoy,
Bob

As a fellow quixotic signed set collector this is inspiring and amazing. What a life accomplishment in this little hobby we have. So happy for you and hope you’re celebrating for quite some time. Well done!!

2 cards have wrong names:

The second one is Phil Jordon (spelled Jordan) on the card.

Spellcheck was not working in 1961 apparently!

Lenny is great. He'll actually sign through the mail. I've sent him a few cards to sign and he always sends them right back. He lives in Medina, WA. I can give you his mailing address if want to get one signed. I forget what he charges, but it's pretty cheap. Like $20 or $30 or something. Here's my 61 Fleer from my set that I had him sign for me.

Incredible feat. I am a baseball collector and have only 2 basketball sets, this one and the Essex Meats St. Louis Hawks set from the same time period. Grew up in St. Louis when Hawks were still there. Great memories from this set.

So what’s next ? 😊

That's just crazy cool, and that's the best Bob auto I've ever seen. Bob's my man, the Shakespeare of our time with great music to boot. I've heard somewhere that he's a baseball fan ("Catfish"), but that's all I know.
