I love collecting historical autographs. Autographs have a significant relevance outside of sports. Presidential autographs transcend the collecting space and bring a historical context to it. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, FDR, brought the country into an era of prosperity after World War II. Presidential autographs transcend collecting space and bring a historical context to it. Sportkings created a really cool, innovative series called The first pitch, representing presidents who throughout the first pitch just for major league seasons. This beautiful autograph of FDR in fountain pen is so much better than the autographs scribbles of modern day sports cards.
