My boss has this Ike autograph ...any help?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Pete Bendu Sep 23, 2018. 6 Replies

It's ink and not a stamp or print, along with that bit... I know it was framed in 1955. Celebrity graphs are more my speed, any presidential collectors want to weigh in so that I can tell him if it…Continue

Another ball thru the door today. I believe it is a 1976 Yankees team on a Lee MacPhail American League ball. Unfortunately other than Yogi who signed in ballpoint, the remainder of the ball seems to…Continue

Posted on December 24, 2016 at 11:24am 17 Comments

I have been collecting for decades, in that time I have purchased autographs, done TTM requests, traveled to conventions, and hit the streets in search of every possible signature that I wanted. I consider myself to be pretty successful at this hobby, and for years my answer to one question has been the same.

Many of us collect different things, some only collect sports, some mostly music, astronauts or presidents, whatever you collect this topic will fit into any category, for my purposes, seeing as I collect celebrity autographs, these…
