Cool Multi Signed Picture Addition to Collection

I am stoked that I was able to add Carlton Fisk to this original B&W newspaper photo from the Chicago Tribune (dated 07/22/87). When I got this picture last year for my Ripken photo collection, I noted the nice sized white border below the game action and the idea hit me to have it signed by all 3 participants. Bill Ripken was the first person I showed it to and he liked it so much that he actually scanned a copy of it to his computer before signing it. Got Cal about a month later and finally found a public signing for Carlton Fisk last week:

Enjoy!

    Cool story about Billy.
    Edited to add: You got to love the action around 2nd Base. Having played both 2nd and short I can appreciate how Ripken's throw missed a HOF'ers noggin by a couple of inches.

    Congratulations on a beautiful piece Iron Man Fan. The thick white border and the blue Sharpie on all three signatures add to the overall appeal of it. I also like the fact that it is an original newspaper photo. Congratulations again.

    VERY cool item. Ripken and Fisk are two of my favorite players.
