May Autograph Pick-Ups

[Mr. Zipper]

Not sports related (obviously) but I had to share this amazing find.

I was at the last table in the last row at an antique fair today in upstate NY and noticed the seller had a small stack of signed photos scattered on a table. Most were personalized "to Len." It was an assortment of what appeared to be through the mail signatures. Some were good... there were some secretarials in there as well. I passed on a Sinatra and Gleason because I presumed they were secretarial. I really wish I knew for sure because it would have been a steal if they were good.

He had a real Jimmy Stewart that was such a mess I passed on it, even though it was $30. A real DiMaggio signed card ($60) I passed on.

At the bottom of the stack, I found this gem for $30. 100% real. For those who may not know, Sir Alec Guinness was reluctant to sign Star Wars poses and they are uncommon and in high demand. If the seller did his homework, he would have known he could have gotten $500 for this through a decent auction house.
