Thanks man. Took a long time, a lot of money, and a couple of painful -- and costly -- mistakes along the way. Just wish I had more room.

Yeah, baseballs would be a dream in comparison. And I started buying those to scale back from the jerseys.

This is the front of the album page with Louise Beavers autograph. She was a wonderful actress that portrayed Beulah on the tv series of the same name. On the back Bud Abbott and Mary Boland signed. Boland and Abbott appeared in "One Night in the Tropics" together.

you have to have been collecting Mac signatures during the HR battle in 1998 to really appreciate this one. Back then, he had stopped signing on the sweet spot, so the only balls you could get with his signature on the ss were AL balls, and they normally had his "rookie" style. Back in '98, this ball, which was signed during the HR chase, was worth over 300 dollars. Today, he signs again, on the ss, and uses different sub-scripts, but it is rare to see this older style signature, from that historic season. just got it today. the subscript is "STL 25"
