Ted Williams aka the Splendid Splinter Show-Off Thread!!!!!!

[wolfmanalfredo]

Those customs look great! I've just unloaded my scanner (took me 3 months after offically moving in), and will have the latest Williams auto scanned by tonight

If anyone wants an Excel spreadsheet of all vintage (and I am using pre-1973) Ted Williams cards/colelctibles please shoot me a PM.

I have compiled this list over the last couple of years and just updated it with a handful of items I found in the Standard Catalogue of Baseball Cards. I have 108 items on my checklist. I currently have 64 of the 108 items.

I only have a handful of Williams cards (my Dad has a real nice collection), and here they are:

Took the time to scan my latest Williams auto PSA/DNA certified of course. Kind of a sloppy example, but great nonetheless:

Love this picture as it almost looks identical to his 1948-49 Leaf card(see avatar)

LOL that's so weird I was just about to post the bolded as I did not see it when I first read the post! :lol:

Very nice addition, Andy!!

Nice. Could that have been the pic they used to make the card? I love seeing examples of that.

I have no concept what a modern 1/1 Williams would fetch, but hopefully you did very well.

Although it was a modern card, the VINTAGE patches were sweet, and the added WWII touch really appealed to me when I purchased it for $390.
I parted with it after a month and a half and sold it for $650.

Individually these are very tiny, less than an inch- 5/8" x 7/8"....this strip has Ted and 5 other HOFers- Pennock, Gordon, Musial, Hornsby and Grove!

Posted this on the baseball board as I am not able to identify what it is........can anyone help?

Finally got this scanned, any help as to what issue this is would be appreciated. It is not in my BIG book of baseball cards (The Standard Catalogue).

Nice Custom! Your sig is very impressive...

 

[rum151man]

had 57 now only have the 58

 

[dannyboy19]

Not a card but 1 of my 2 Teddy Ball Game autos. Incoming I have a 16x20 autographed by Williams, Pesky, Doerr, D. DiMaggio, and Pellagrini

 

[Graymouse]

I thought it would be cool to show the '55 Topps Williams and the '56 Topps Williams together so you can see that they are almost identical to each other. During the Mid 50's Topps only had one part-time photographer so you will see a lot the same images in '54, '55, and the '56 sets. Please enjoy.

Below is my newest Williams that I won tonight at the auction block.

$429 delivered. BV Beckett $500, BV SMR $465 pending which one you go by.
