Elmira Pioneers team issued practice cap worn and signed by Tony Taylor during his tenure with their coaching staff.

I mainly bought it for being a rare mid-90s variety from when the Marlins were a new team.

Just arrived.  Not my normal thing, but nice.  And got very lucky on price, since there were two of these in the same auction at the same time.

the newest crown jewel of my collection... i've been craving, yearning, needing a Phil Hartman and especially a Chris Farley auto on my wall, and this came up on eBay last week and made it mine!

i love and respect Farley so much as a fearless comedian who tooks risks like no other, and knowing how self-deprecating and shy and sensitive he was off stage really connects me with him. and to see this picture, and to know that it probably went to everyone else first and then him, and seeing how uncomfortable he was as a celebrity that he just felt compelled to squeeze his name in  at the bottom between Tim Meadows and the inscription to whoever Richard was, rather than be ostentacious about it by signing at the top... well, to me, it's quintessential Farley, and I'm happy to have a piece of his memory in my life now. RIP Chris and Phil, we miss you so.

Great item! A terrible loss of two greats.

A few new autographs I acquired with help from Pete C. and Bradford.

Thanks, guys.

They look great, Peter! I have the exact same Jeff Hunter signed!

I'm glad I could help. KPH is not an easy autograph to find, let alone on a Predator shot. That one is as nice as it gets. Congrats.

I just got an IP signature from Brett Favre about an hour ago. He eats breakfast at the cafe next door to my office and I was ready with this in hand. He was very nice and cordial. He said, "You just happened to have one of these with you?" I told him that I knew he ate here and I was ready for him. haha

I know we have far more people here interested in Sports and Music and I almost feel guilty posting stuff that I know most of you won't care about.....but I picked up a few new pieces that someone might enjoy seeing...

can't remember if I posted this one, but it is a big deal because Alan only signed Potter stuff at the earliest part of the Harry Potter boom, and nearly everything was inscribed.

Pete, I absolutely enjoy these new additions. I wish more people participated in the full spectrum of this hobby. The Brando is worthy of any collection. I've purchased one from Alexander Autographs and it ended up a fake. Maybe someday I'll find one. That Harrison Ford signature style is the only era I would want one in now unless I get it at a bargain price. The Rickman is fantastic! Pacino, two thumbs up. Keep sharing!!

I was very lucky, a local collector was thinning his collection and I was able to meet with a family member of his, inspect and buy the Brando in person. It doesn't happen that way every day, but I highly recommend it.
