Notorious non-signer... One of the toughest Brooklyn Dodgers signature ever. Got this signed TTM in May of 2012, he passed away January 23, 2014. I listed it on eBay with a starting bid of $14.99: eBay Listing - Charlie Osgood signed OMLB

    Given that he appeared in one game in his career, I doubt that he had many opportunities to sign. What was his objection to signing? I'd love to know the story.

    Friendly bump.. Less than 24 hours! Ball's value is probably close to $500 and price is currently under $30!

    Jim Stinson wasn't sure of Osgood's reluctance to sign, but may have had a chip on his shoulder because he never got another chance.

    One more friendly bump with an less than an hour and a half left, it's at just over $100... Still an awesome deal, imo, considering the rarity!

    For your sake I hope that was not an accurate statement, as it sold for $133.56. If it really is worth $500.00, somebody got an unreal deal.

    I had $15 invested in the ball and got it through the mail. I'm okay with $133. Of course, would have liked a lot more, but I am okay with it.

    I was not familiar with the auto at all. Do most of them sell for $500.00 as you mentioned?

    A receipt sold for $500 a few years ago, I've seen three index cards sell in the last couple years for 125-300 range. They're just not out there! I was happy after the fact that I knew the winning bidder and know it's going to the best baseball autograph collection I know of image
