I have a couple. I love multi-signed HOF pieces. Bat:
HOF Program:
I LOVE this photo, because of the story that goes behind with it. Every year from 1987-1999 I attended the BB HOF Inductions in Cooperstown with my Dad. I believe it was 1992. Anyone who goes down there knows the place to graph is the golf course. I was shut out at the golf course, and thought just for the heck of it, if HOFers golf I wonder if any HOFers play tennis? Went to the tennis courts and low and behold who is sitting there? Ted Williams. I had done a lot of IP graphing, but it was the first time approaching someone I was so nervous that my knees were shaking.
The funny thing is, I dont even consider any of these my favorite pieces. My grandmother passed away in 1989-I had just gotten into collecting about 3 years earlier. One of her neighbors came to me and said that my Grandmother had been so good to him, that he wanted me to have these two items. He gave me a 1978 San Diego Padres team signed baseball (sort of random, but a ton of HOFers: Winfield, Perry, Smith, Fingers and Herman (coach)) as well as a very aged baseball signed by Ted Williams and just dated "1957". By far my favorite two pieces just because of the sentimental value. Strangely enough, I dont have pictures of either one of them for some reason. Need to work on that.

<< <i>AMAZING!! What would an auto like that fetch? Im thinking 10k easily because of the absolute rarity of it. >>
Tough to put a specific number on it, but I have been given a wide range of numbers, all higher than 10K.

<< <i>out of curiosity have you seen any others for sale? >>
There has never been one for public sale, that I know of. I know of only 1 or 2 out there.
