Collector

What would you like to tell us about yourself, your collecting, or business.

I have been collecting for over 30 years, principally through the mail, but also in person. I specialize in obtaining sports autographs on old sports newspaper cartoons, having undoubtedly the largest collection in existence. My collection is very unique in that regard. I have over 2000 football autographs, 99.9% dating to those who played in the 1920s thru 1960. But I also have that many vintage autographs in all other sports. I have websites featuring my collections of football, baseball, tennis, golf, track & field, basketball, and an items-for-sale site.
