A snapshot collectors grail.

Many years ago I had a barnstorming program that included the Rochester Red Wings and whatever team Gibson was playing for at the time. The program included a nice pencil autograph by Gibson. That's one I wish I still had. Sorry no image.

As a Rochester resident I wish I could see it!

I looked through some old stuff and found a copy of the program. The game was played in Rochester in 1945 between the Rochester All Stars and the Homestead Grays. Gibson signed just below "Doser's Grill" and above the Rochester line up. I had forgotten that the autograph had been cut out of the program before I got it. You can see that in the scans. The signature was in pencil and presented much better than my copies show.

It looks like the first page of the program ended up upside down, but you get the idea. I had this way back in 1995.
