Need some help with a REALLY cool piece.

I have the opportunity to purchase the following two pages of autographs. What concerns me the most is the Robinson as well as who signed the actual "Autographs" page. I know Lester Patrick signed it and that's a huge name in hockey.

I think they're all legit in my opinion.

Hi Mike,

I just heard about your great Jackie Robinson find. It would just be a crying shame to fold or cut something like that. It's something you'll probably regret years from now, like the Apple Scruffs regret cutting up their band-signed Beatles albums and photos so they could glue the autographs individually in their fan books. (They were the teenage girls who followed the Beatles around London back in the '60s. One of them is a member here.)

What about trading your piece for an individual Robinson instead? Some of us would be happy to help you look for for one.

I'd also be willing to trade it for another high-end single signed cut/index card.

Honestly I would box up and ship my entire collection well worth more then what you paid to not cut it for it

I'm not sure what you mean, Mike. Do you mean another player of similar value?

Yeah, like a higher end player's cut. Might be willing to add some cash for a Cobb or something like that.

If not that, maybe a straight up trade or a few extras added on either side for a Munson, Ott, etc.

Or if someone is willing to let a Ruth go straight up for this, let me know ;)

Yeah, those would be great trades...

Don't hold your breath. :)

It's not a high demand piece, but it's a piece of sports history that would be a shame to cut up.

Let's see what we can come up with.

Mike,

That's great news! I'll start checking around and I'm sure others will, too.

Thanks so much.

Steve

I have a family friend that I can go to for framing and matting, likely won't cost me more than $40, but I'm wondering if it'll look decent
