Art Schlichter- Football Star Goes From Private Signings To A Private Cell

Growing up in Ohio my first memories of college football are of watching Ohio State quarterback Art Schlichter as he lead the Buckeyes from 1978 to 1981. He was the last starting quarterback for legendary Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes, and was in the lineup when Hayes' infamous punch of Clemson linebacker Charlie Bauman in the 1978 Gator Bowl effectively ending Hayes’ coaching career. Art was an All-American with a Rose Bowl appearance, two Big Ten championships and his last three years in college… Continue

Babe Ruth -- Not a Rare Autograph, but Rare Video!

On the east coast, some video footage showed up of Babe Ruth striking out, and looking mad about it. He then glanced at the umpire while leaning on his bat. He uttered something, but there's no sound. The legendary Lou Gehrig, who probably never had a nasty word to say to umps, awaited on deck, leaning on his bat as well.



Ruth walked away with his head down, and bat dragging through the dirt.



This footage, along with 8 seconds of never before seen stuff of Ruth playing in… Continue

$70,800 for a Glove? Not OJs. Not Mickey Mantles, but...Michaels.

The glove that the King of Pop wore during the Victory Tour in 1984, just wrangled in almost $71,000 at the Profiles in History (or, Profiles in HIStory, if you want to stick to the Jackson theme) auction.

I would've rather had the Martin D-28 guitar that Elvis played during his final Vegas performance. Apparently, a lot of other folks would, too. That sold for $106,200.

The auction made $5 million in memorabilia sales in this auction.

Indiana Pacers Pre-Season

I was lucky enough to join the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis on October 7, 2009 for their pre-season game against the Chicago Bulls. Although the game left much to be desired (ie: the Pacers didn't win) there were some opportunities that presented themselves for autographs.



TJ Ford, a 2003 1st round draft pick of the Milwaukee Bucks, is coming into his 2nd season with the Pacers. Last year he shared playing time with Jarrett Jack, but with Jarrett gone to the Toronto Raptors TJ… Continue

King Kong Auction Item

It seems in auctions, people aren't getting the prices they want for their high end items. Maybe now isn't the right time to be selling, but here's something else Christie's is whipping out today.



A tiny King Kong figurine that's a 22-inch skeleton, used in one of the climactic scenes of the 1933 movie (not the Jack Black, Brody movie, which I thought was horrible).



The monster ended up being made by adding layers of cotton, rubber, liquid latex, and rabbit fur, to a metal… Continue

Autographed Baseball a Kid Doesn't Want

I often complain to my friends about our legal system. And it's stories like this that make me complain.



Philadelphia Phillies slugger Ryan Howard hit his 200th career home run. And that's not all that much of a milestone. Well, I didn't think it was.



But it's the fastest player in baseball to ever reach that milestone so quickly.



A 12-year-old caught the ball, and the procedure that always happens happened.



The player wanted to keep the ball, so he… Continue

Jay Leno Talks Autographs with Joe Torre

Dodger manager Joe Torre was on Jay Leno, answering the 10 questions. That's a new bit Leno does, where a celebrity answers 10 questions remotely. It's usually a big name (he's had Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, and Mel Gibson all do this bit). And some of the questions are goofier and more fun than the questions you hear in the studio.



He asked Torre the weirdest prank he was ever involved in. Torre said his first year in baseball, this manager used to give a brand new baseball to the… Continue

T-Rex -- The Dinosaur (not the band)

I love classic rock. And, I'd love nothing more than an Electric Warrior album signed by Marc Bolan of T-Rex. Of course, you'd need to use a silver or gold paint pen, as the alum is mostly black (and also raise him from the dead...yeah, typical rock star movie; died in a car crash).



I guess us autograph collectors would rather have that than a fossilized Tyrannosaurus rex. Maybe that's because Bonhams & Butterfields had a starting bid in the millions!



They were hoping… Continue

Ingmar Bergman items net $900,000

Ingmar Bergman's writing desk and chair would've looked so nice in my office. I don't care about the wine glasses, tea set, or other belongs that sold. But, the Bukowski auction house in Stockholm made almost a million bucks with all the stuff.
