The Irish lost their QB to Florida State recently (no hard feelings from me, I wish the kid the best, he didn't leave early, he graduated and is probably making what he believes is the best decision for him, more power to him), but my sorrow was short lived 
I'm looking forward to the mailman tomorrow as he should bring me this beauty..
1925 first edition book, Coaching, the Way of the Winner, signed by the legendary Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne. Cover was tattered so the collector put it on a similar colored piece paper, but other than that, this piece looks gorgeous. Beautiful, bold fountain pen signature and inscription.
Rockne signed it to the eleventh President of the University (but left out a T in the Prez's first name ) Book comes with a JSA auction LOA.

<< <i>I've been in awe of some of the pieces you've acquired (and sold) for the better part of a decade. Another great piece, congrats! Have we taken the Bar exam yet? >>
Not yet, I won't graduate until Dec 2016 because I can only go part time because of work. I've completed 47 of 90 credits so far. Summer school starts Tuesday so I'm enjoying the last few days of having nights off. I've been out since May 11 and finding it seems that I've got all the time in the world at night now LOL. I'm ready to get back after it and knock out some more hours. I REALLY enjoy the competition provided by the younger students. It helps keep my mind sharp (at least sharp for me lol). I enjoy teaching them about life and they teach me computer stuff in exchange. It's win/win for all of us.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

I can only imagine the exchanges with the younger students.....it would go something like this.....
YOUNG STUDENT: "So Mike, that is a great Abraham Lincoln autograph that you have in your collection."
NAVARRO: "Thanks, I like collecting presidential autographs."
YOUNG STUDENT: "Did you get the autograph through the mail, or in person?"
NAVARRO: "Huh?"
YOUNG STUDENT: "I mean, if you got that in person that would be really, really cool."
NAVARRO: " You know, I may be the oldest person in class, but Abraham Lincoln was president long before I was even born."
YOUNG STUDENT: "I just know that you are old. You go on and on about never having a cell phone during your first run in college, or that there was no internet in your college days. I just think it would have been much cooler if you got your Lincoln autograph in person because how can you really know that he signed it?"

Rob,
that made me smile as we occasionally have some that are eerily similar to that
