Starting My First Collecting Project- Philadelphia A's Autographs

[Robextend]

Hey Chris,

I was thinking of doing the same thing with the 1977-1978 Yankees championship teams which would obviously be a lot easier than your project. Although I wanted to only collect 8x10 photo autographs and I know Munson would be the only one I would probably have to purchase at a premium.

Are you limiting yourself as far as the type of autograph, or are you looking for any (index card, ticket stub, etc...) Also are you concerned if the auto is authenticated by a third party?

Good luck with your project!!

Just out of curiosity Brock, how far did you get with the '36 Yanks and Giants signatures?

The project could still be expensive as you need Foxx, Cochrane, Grove, and Simmons. The 1935 team also included Vernon "Whitey" Wilshere, who I believe may be the only Cooperstown native to play in the major leagues. Good luck.

I am hoping to get the bulk of the 1929-31 HOFers in one multi-signed item. I would prefer not to get index cards, but I may have to. I already have some from A's who are still alive and I will try to get the other living players through the mail. Aside from the 1929-31 teams there aren't many HOFers.

I followed the Yanks while I was at Columbia U in the late 70s - I went to alot of games - sat in the bleachers - they charged a buck 50 back then!

I have a large selection of team autopened small pics including Munson.
They look really cool - most people assume they're real.

I have considered the same project - and yes - the Munson would be the tough one.

Good luck.
