Jimmy,
Your collection never disappoints. That stuff is incredible. Mike, Who is the lady in the turtleneck in the second group of pins?  It's hard to believe the HOF couldn't find a better picture of whoever it is?BTW who is missing from your collection? Jay, I used to live on eastern shore of Maryland, near where Baker was from. I always found it surprising that there didn't seem to be a lot of his stuff around there. Great pic though. My contribution to the thread are HOF yearbooks: 1942 Yearbook. Scan is a little big. Size is same as 1946.  1946 Yearbook  1949 Yearbook  1964 Yearbook Silver Anniversary  1966 Yearbook. The first one acquired. Started the whole ball rolling. It has the most sigs.  1977 Yearbook. Second most signatures.  1984 Yearbook. One of the prettiest.  All signatures on books earlier than 1982 were obtained in person, by myself, except for the Kiner on the 1975 book. Those 1982 and later are mixed sources. The rest can be seen here:http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...F%20Yearbooks/

Mark, nice autographs which prompted me to remember this piece I have.
Got all the auto's myself starting in '81 and after a few, i realized that all the players played in 1939 (except for Waite Hoyt who retired in '38) when this stamp/First Day Cover came out for the "alleged" 100th anniversary of Baseball. So my theme was to have all the players who signed be Hall Of Famers and who played in 1939. Now 70 years later, there's no one else I can ever add to it. When I met Ted Williams (Atlantic City show in '88) I handed him the green pen as Ty Cobb often signed items like that. He liked how I knew that and even offered to buy the piece after he signed it.

More HOF
These are the original frames that held the Hall of Fame plaques of George Sisler and Tris Speaker -- the frames they used when the plaques were hanging on the walls of the old museum, before the actual Hall of Fame wing was added to the museum. The players name was written on the back and front of the ornate frame so the plaque would be returned to the correct frame after it was taken off for cleaning. I've put a Type I photo in each plaque.

Jay,
Very nice cachet. I love those multi-signed items. Say Hey. Those frames are fantastic. There is even enough room to put a signed 3x5 of each under the pic. Mark

More HOF
This is one of my favorite pieces. One of just a few road signs made that were placed at the main intersections leading to Cooperstown to direct travelers to the 1939 induction ceremonies. I believe this is one of three known survivors.
It appears glittery in the photo (not in person), because a special paint was used so the sign could be seen at night.

Great topic. This is my first time posting (I just joined yesterday). But Cooperstown is my favorite memory from childhood growing up. My father and I attended the HOF Inductions from 1987-1998. It was the one thing I looked forward to all summer, and as soon as it passed, I was constantly looking forward to next year. I can post more photos later, but here is a TTM project I just started working on:
20 years ago my father and I attended the 50th anniversary of the Baseball Hall of Fame. I bought this program then, and a couple of months later I had Bob Feller sign it at a local show. The program then sat in my parent's closet for the next 20 or so years when I found it recently. I always knew I had it, but I thought what am I going to do with this program that is signed by Bob Feller? Then I thought about turning it into a TTM project. I first sent it out to Bobby Doerr, turnaround in less than a week. Next I sent it out to Lee MacPhail, who had it for about a month and I started to get a bit nervous. After that it was Monte Irvin, with $20 fee, and took about a week. Next, I got it back from Al Kaline ($20 fee) that took a little less than two weeks. Was kind of torn on how he signed it. Gave a nice, big, bold signature but the way he signed it kind of took away space from other players down the road. The next day it was sent out to Red Schoendienst, with a $10 fee. Got that back in about a week, and was sent out the following day to Duke Snider (with fee) and it has been over two weeks. Starting to get a bit antsy. I've had people who have seen it saying that I shouldnt add any players who were inducted after 1989 (the 50th Anniversary of the HOF), such as Lee MacPhail, but I am going to try and jam pack it with as many HOFers as possible.

June 29, 1990 was a historic day in baseball history and I was at the HOF on that day.

Mark V.
The lady in the turtleneck is actually Jack Brickhouse. For some reason, when he went in as a broadcaster, he was added to this set. It is an odd addition. I found his pin on ebay many years ago and it is the only one I have ever seen. The ones missing from my collection are Juan Marichal, George Kell, Walter Alston, Hoyt Wilhelm, Lou Brock and HF36 which is an unknown. I've seen photos of the 5 listed above, but have never seen a #36.

Mike,
Aha, that explains why I didn't recognize him. Nice collection.
