hey CEE that really is a great story! Its difficult to see the signature for authenticity purposes, though. I owned a couple of Jackie's and there are some things that look good, but its really hard to tell for sure.

your story is better than MY uncle story. I had an uncle that worked for a beer distributor, and he gave me a ball signed by the orioles team (this is in the mid 60's) and even though I was a Red Sox fan, I treasured the ball for years. until my dad and he had a major disagreement over something, and my dad told me my uncle signed the ball himself! I immediately went out and gave it to my German Shephard to use in any way he wished. I like your story better!

Wonderful story. Jackie was a class act and a trailblazer.

Just in a Joe Sewell auto ball with a pretty cool inscription...there is also his HOF year inscribed to the right of the photo...not sure if I got any TTM's in yet or if anymore come between today and Saturday...but I will be bidding on some other auto cards tonight but if I win they probably wouldn't come until next year next week...so this will more then likely be my auto that caps off 2011 that was not a TTM or if I win those auctions tonight...Happy New Year Brothers !!!!!!
