Looking for Wilmer "Vinegar Bend" Mizell

I am looking for any autographed item of 50's pitcher Wilmer "Vinegar Bend "Mizell. I would love a single signed ball but am also in the market for one of his vintage cards (Topps or Bowman) or even an index card.

I knew him years ago but never got his autograph except on my college diploma. He was the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the small college I attended.

If you happen to have anything please PM me or email me at beyondbeliefdrew@yahoo.com.

Thanks for looking,
Drew

Can't help with your search, but I met Mr. Mizell years ago in Smithfield, VA at a political function he attended. I believe he was a Congressman at one time? I can't recall the exact details, but I went to the event and had one of his Topps cards from the 50's for him to sign. I remember he was shocked I had the card and took great pride in showing it around to some folks he knew. He seemed like a very nice man. Sorry, I know this doesn't help your cause but it's not every day I see his name and this jarred my memory.
