I wasn't sure how the Baron would react to signing this Japanese Gong bromide from 1972 but my friend got it done for me. Baron's wife said that the Baron thought better of it and went to an Iron Cross after realizing the impact of his previous gimmick.

    That's awesome. I've wanted his autograph for a while. His later days in the AWA have been running on ESPN Classic Canada recently. I went to his website on July 5th and wouldn't you know it, he stopped selling autographed photos the day before.

    I am huge Dan Gable fan as my sig line suggests and I thought it would be really neat to buy an olympic wrestling ticket from Munich and have him sign it. I got this back from the Hall of Fame ceremonies from this past weekend.

    Great auto! How did he react when he saw he had a bromide from Japan he probably didn't know about?

    Loved the Baron growing up. My wife, who is from Minnesota, has told me the story of how the Baron was her substitute teacher several times in high school and how he would show off the claw move in class. I bet that got the students to settle down.
