Autographed baseball books

@dano7 I called Ken Berry and bought a copy of Comeback. It costs $27 now, but he also sent a signed copy of a reproduction of a Sports Illustrated cover that includes a Mickey Mantle facsimile signature and an autographed copy of one of his children’s books.

Got his book, etc. a few years ago. He even called me to discuss the book!

Yes, I found his information in one of your old posts.

Fastball John by John D’Acquisto

The Captain and Me by Ron Blomberg.

I paid $1.66 for this copy, about $7.50 with taxes and shipping.

I bought it to mail off and get it signed, but as I was looking through the book, I found it was already signed not just once, but twice.

I bought a used copy of Ivan Rodriguez's autobiography, They Call Me Pudge, and the same thing happened to me. A signed copy for $6. Love surprises like that.

The Clown Prince of Baseball by Max Patkin

Not baseball, but Instant Replay by Jerry Kramer.

This is the last autographed book I need for my Holtzman Sports Classics set. I still need one facsimile autographed book to complete the 10 book set.

I do

 

[deaconblues63]

@MrMet2.0 Sorry. I don’t think of you when it comes to Yankees autographs.

Lol I know, but he came to the event I used to volunteer at once, and got his book signed there. His wife Dot wrote the top part, he wrote the rest

Designated Hebrew by Ron Blomberg

The Collectors Edition version of My Favorite Summer 1956 by Mickey Mantle.

I have an autographed version of this book, but this was criminally underpriced.

I can probably flip it for between 2 and 3 times for what I paid for it.

Me and the Spitter by Gaylord Perry. I remember reading this as a kid.

 

[deaconblues63]

The Phenomenon by Rick Ankiel.

I’m really looking forward to reading this one.

Not baseball, but couldn’t pass this up for the price, even if it is signed To Richard…Earl “the Pearl” Monroe.

The kid also grabbed an Abdul Jabbar and Bill Russell, that were both To Richard also, but all 3 books were half price
