Thrilled to add this to my collection today. A Charlton Heston Soylent Green SP and the cherry on top is it came with a pic of Heston signing this exact photo in 1978.

Hey, Zip. Nice Heston autograph! I saw that one - it went for a reasonable price. I love the "proof" photo for it. I bought this one sometime in the last year or two. (The scuff marks aren't on the actual photo - it's in very good condition except for some slight smudging and one bend at a corner)

I purchased it from someone who said they'd bought it from the photographer at an event for Heston. It came with two other photos which show the event where Heston was at when he signed it. One of him eating breakfast with a producer of The War Lord in front of about fifty cameras explains on the back that he was greeting the Hollywood Foreign Press prior to his "departure for European personal appearances in connection with openings of his latest film, 'The War Lord.'"The other photo is this one:

A closer look at the photo shows this:

I spent a bit of time looking at this when I got it and shape plus placement of the letters match precisely. Proof photo from 1965 with the autograph in Heston's very hand. I'm still happy about that.

Game Used, 1984-1990 era Bobby Brown American League ball signed by: Mr. October, and the BASH Brothers!!!

HUGE Thanks to my Friend Chris for finding this ball for me. I got lucky also and it ended up being JSA certified. When I was a kid Jose Canseco was my active player IDOL! I just wanted him to know I existed and I had all of his cards. To finally have a ball signed by him is truly a childhood dream come to reality. Even with the "juice" he did, i will still always love the guy.

Thank you!

Thats so awesome! Im trying to sell some things to be able to buy a game used bat. I just love having a used part of the game. and to also have a ball thats signed, its the best of both worlds to me.

you should try to get your balls signed by players you know used them from those teams.

Those are some nice pickups. I wish I had a Ruppert. I do have a Barrow which isn't as nice as any of the Ruppert's but hopefully I can add one down the line and have it matted again.

I held out for a Barrow Ruppert "American League Baseball Club" check rather than a later one from Barrow's personal account. The nice thing about the payroll checks is you get three sigs for the price of one.

A guy at Net54 had a small lot of them and was selling very reasonably. He might have a few left. PM me if you want his contact info.

This is the first time I've posted in this thread, but I thought this item deserved it. It's the new album from the Smashing Pumpkins signed by Billy Corgan, Jeff Schroeder, Nicole Fiorentino, and Mike Byrne. I bought it on ebay, and seller randyscousegraphs was awesome. Here's a pic and the link.

I picked this one up a couple of months ago.

A friend of mine sold it to me for an absolute song. The ball originally belonged to his grandpa who at one time owned one of the best steakhouses in NW Indiana. Mick came in one night and signed a ball for him. When he passed away, the ball went to my buddy.

Mick is my all time favorite...

I'm in love with this ball. I'm confident that it's legit.
