Hey Mike...I'm unable to post to your "Hammerin' Hank Autograph?" thread, so I got to do it here....Here's my JSA certified autograph of Aaron. This is from around 1992 from what the dealer I bought it from said. Mine looks similar to the one you are considering buying, but there is a difference in the H.
Since I'm so nice, the mail was delivered twice! Mailman came back around a second time this afternoon and dropped of this beautiful 1980-1981 Topps card autographed by former Flyers, Canucks, and Penguins defenceman, Kevin McCarthy. Kevin was an All-Star in 1981, and served as the Canucks captain from 1979-1982, including that magical 1981-1982 season where he was one of the driving forces along with Stan Smyl for the Canucks Campbell Confrence championship that season. He helped win a Stanley Cup title in 2006 as an assistant coach for the Hurricanes, and he is now an assistant coach for the Flyers.
This was in today's mail, a signed 1963 Topps Del Shofner card. Del was one of the greatest receivers of his era. He was voted the the NFL 1960s All-Decade Team, and was a 5-time All-Pro from 1957-1967. Collected 349 catches for 6,470 yards, and 51 touchdowns. In college, he was the MVP of the 1957 Sugar Bowl when Baylor beat Tennessee 13-7.
Please check out my recent blog post. (NBA related, I promise!)

Pretty cool, there, Dustin! I have had some of those wonderful experiences myself. I try not to do projects anymore, because it seems as though there is always that 1 hold out who refuses to sign the item, because, "...oh, that's not a licensed picture," or, "...yeah, I can't, you see I'm under a contract that does not allow this..." or something along those lines. I finally completed an 11x14 picture of the 300 Win Club in baseball a little over a year ago. Took me 5 years to do it, and the picture itself was 14 years old! I ran into countless issues with licensing, contracts, and at times greed from agents. It really took the fun out of it. So when I completed it, I did not get the full enjoyment of it or sense of accomplishment. I still have it, and enjoy how it turned out, but I vowed never again to try something on that scale.
