I am sitting here watching the snow coming down and wishing I could be sitting and watching some baseballs flying through the air right now. I think I have an early case of spring fever so I figured why not ask everyone to drag out their Teddy Ballgame stuff. I will start it out.
I remember in the early 90's, reading in SCD how John-Henry Williams stated that a large majority of his father's autographs in the hobby were fake and he offered to authenticate any autographs if copies were sent to his home address. John-Henry was pretty much known to be a turd in hobby circles and was known to go through a show floor and demand dealers remove items in which he felt were non-authentic autographs of his father. I made a copy of the autograph I got in the mid 80's from Don Steinback's Sports Collectors Store in LaGrange, Illinois and sent it off to John-Henry. I actually forgot I sent this off and a year later I received a response. I was quite pleased as I dont think I payed more than 10 bucks for the auto and I continue to enjoy it to this day.
Lets see your Ted Williams items and or stories.

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.

The '54 Wilson Franks and autographed '55 Topps are off the charts! (now YOU have a card I want, Matty!)
The '54 Topps #250 has a cool front, no doubt, but might have one of the coolest backs ever on a Topps card (at least in the cartoon department, it can't be beat
