Harry has a clean looking signature!

Makes you wish that some of the current youngsters signed so neatly!

Very rough card, but at the price, it was a nice Skowron addition to one of my favorite sets!

1963 Fleer - purchased this one and have 2 more coming, so it will bring me up to 33 signed cards, which is half the set....will stop there!

I don't find myself getting too much vintage, so I will double post this one. Jake Daubert Colgan Chip disc. The stain is pretty well hidden on the front, so doesn't hurt it as bad as it might have on a different image.

I wish MSA would have made these more widespread, but like a lot of limited/test issues, the appeal to them is probably more the fact that they can be scarce and not as much that the design is all that great. However, out of all the MSA discs, this does pop better than most with the flag color theme. 1975 MSA Test Disc. Not super hard to find, but not plentiful either.

 

[dano7]

Purchased both of these to bring me to 33 signed cards from this set (1/2 of the set)

 

[dano7]

My 91st & 92nd cards complete my goal of buying 4 for 2023!

Couple recent additions.

Was planning on starting posting my vintage autographs, with one grouping per month, for the year. I forgot. So, I will start off March with 3 groupings. These autographs were started because I also have a complete set for each year/set that I post.

Last year, a previously-unknown 1960 Venezuelan "Beisbol de Grande Ligas" sticker album was uncovered (see article link to Sports Collectors Digest article below), The album had spaces for 220 stickers, but only 114 of the stickers were pasted inside. Only players and executives from three teams - the Yankees, Dodgers and Pirates - were included, with the reason why lost to time.

Originally the owner of the album, who collected the stickers as a kid and held onto them for 62 years, was going to keep the album. However, the stickers are now being sold on eBay by a prominent Venezuelan dealer.

The Mantle, Koufax, and Clemente stickers alone sold for $3,000-$4000 each. I was pretty stoked to work out a deal with seller for the Don Zimmer, to add to my Zim PC. Unfortunately their is also another sticker featuring an action shot of Charlie Neal and Zimmer, that I can't get myself to buy at the current asking price. Maybe with some luck.

I love stuff like this - stays hidden all those years and finally sees the light of day. For now, this is the only one known. Could change in the future, but an awesome pickup for me!

Very cool. No wonder they called Zimmer the ferret. Look at his cheeks are full of tobacco.


And then this by Zimmer was the best.
