thunderdan

Been working on a few. Dick Shiner is still outstanding and Dick Felt has, sadly, gone on to his eternal reward. But here are a few others. Hope you enjoy and feel free to share your own.

Pete LaC%ck "Slam it in the Gap"

Dick Pole "Taming the Professor"

Rusty Kuntz "Just what the doctor ordered" (forgot to add the "ed")

Happy Feller. No inscription

Fair Hooker. No insription.

If Fair Hooker had inscribed something, what would you have wanted it to be? Something like:

“Delivery guarantee in 30 minutes or your money back!”

Joe Namath was called Broadway Joe and led the Jets to victory in Super Bowl III. Super Bowl IV was played in New Orleans by the Chiefs and the Vikings. Johnny Robinson is from Louisiana and went to LSU. After the Chiefs won Super Bowl IV, Chiefs fans gathered at the Kansas City airport to welcome the team back home. Johnny had played the game with three broken ribs and still recorded an interception and a fumble recovery. Anyway, a fan was at the airport holding a sign that said, "It the Jets can have Broadway Joe, then we can have Bourbon Street Johnny." There was a picture of the man and his sign in the KC newspapers and it became a bit of a nickname.

I know they are not on cards but on a baseball but I always liked when Pete Rose would add "I am sorry I bet on baseball." I also saw a picture of a Mickey Mantle ball inscribed "Have a ball Coc#s$%ker." I figured he signed that one when he was drunk. (or drunker than normal)

LOVE this thread! Here are a couple I've got:

Just signed it "Dirty Al" his nickname

Mark Leiter sent me this one when I wrote asking him to sign the gold version of his Rookie Cup card and told him about my collection of all the Rookie Cup autos.
