I got a couple of ttms today in my mailbox and a couple of great flea market finds to tell you about today! First the ttms: Karen Allen signed 2 DonRuss Americana cards for me in 24 days! Karen Allen Fiber Arts 8 Railroad St. Great Barrington, MA 01230 I also received 1 of 2 signed cards from Susan Lucci. I'm a little bummed out about this one. The cards came back in a paperclip! It totally ruined my cards! This one has been gone since 2008! 937 days! This is the address that was on the return envelope (not my sase): Susan Lucci Entertainment 107 7th St. GC,NY 11530 I also picked up a couple of sweet autographs at a flea market today. I got a real nice framed and matted 1978 Sporting News cover signed by Butch Lee and a signed 8x10 of Hall of Famer Eddie Matthews! I only paid $25 for both because the guy said that he had been out in the heat since 9 a.m. and wanted to sell something today! Sweet deal!

Anyone have address for Pete Rose? Also, does he sign baseballs ttm and does he want a $30 donation or something like that?  I heard only signs if there is a donation for his charity.

Finally!  After re-starting up my wife autograph collection after 8 years, I received my first two this week.  I received TTM  a personalized autograph from BJ Thomas (musician).  In addition, I received a personalized autograph from Barbra Streisand along with a special gift for my wife signed also. 

As I stated in my original blog, I started collecting autographs for my wife's 40th birthday 8 years ago.  I received oer 25o autographs in 2 years leading up to her birthday.  Now after 8 years off, I am collecting again for her 50th.  It was very touching to receive a gift from Barbra for my wife, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last August.

Pete Rose will sign autographs throught the mail if you contribute to his favorite charity which happens to be Pete Rose.

thanks saul.  Do you know how much cash for the charity you think he would want for a ball to be signed?

Comment by Saul Pachman on June 5, 2011 at 3:29pm

I'm sorry but I was being sarcastic. From personal experience, Pete Rose does nothing unless it benefits Pete Rose. Years ago he made an appearance at a mall store called Sports Collectables and he placed limitations on what he would or would not sign. He would only sign only certain merchandise bought from the store at the time of his experience.

I personally will not pay for an autograph if it goes directly into the pocket of the celebrity.

 

In contrast, try contacting Roman Gabriel (LA Rams, Phila Eagles QB) or a former QB for the old St Louis Cardinals by the name of Hart (I forget his first name) they will autograph through the mail and THEN ask you to contribute to a specific charity in any amount you can afford.

 

Two other items - save your postage if you want to Yogi Berra's autograph. He will use your return envelope and postage to send you a price list of items for sale and probablywith an auto pen signing.

 

I know all this from personal experience and post retirement employment with several professional sport teams.

 

Hope this helps you !!
