Thanks Mike, I appreciate it! I paid $250 for the Paige and was hoping to get the rest at much more affordable prices.

Bobo Holloman didn't have a 1953 Topps card? Forgive my ignorance, but I'm not a huge vintage card guy. I know that 1953 was the year that Bobo threw his no-hitter for the Brownie's....

Bobo did play for the 53 Browns but the 53 Topps cards are for players who were on the 52' team. Bobo's 53 Topps card depicts him in an Athletics uniform.

If anyone has any of these cut sigs, please PM or email me at the email address below. Thanks!

Bill I believe Duane Pillette is still alive don't know about the others?

[Big Six]

I have a spare Virgil Trucks 3x5 you can have...feel free to pm me with your address and I'll send it over...

Wow...looks like Mike is correct. Mr. Pillette is still alive and living in San Jose and appears to be a good signer through the mail.

One of my most exciting pick ups in awhile. Probably, my favorite mini bat ever. 22 inch "small signature" Lou Gehrig. It came out of the Legendary sale with some real nice mini's that I'll be selling.

You must be thinking of Bobo Newsom. Holloman didn't have a '53T, but did have a '53T Archives card depicted in Browns garb.

Awesome pickups Dan. That potato sack is cool.

1960 one sheet Movie poster featuring Japan's Ruth and Gehrig Oh and Nagashima of the Giants. I love the image and graphics.
