Teddy Ballgame. The Splendid Splinter. Cool nicknames for one of the best hitters the game has ever seen. I collected some great signed baseballs. Slowly trying to sell or trade them all away as I can’t display them and enjoy them how I would want them. Moving to sweet spot card autographs - like having a signed baseball in card form. Easier to store and for me to flip through!

This is not a super expensive item, this OSU team went to the championship game and lost to Florida. But I got it signed personally and was at OSU that year for work. This team had 4 future NBA players including Michael Conley and the overall #1 pick Greg Oden. Interestingly, I tought both of them at Lawrence North high school in Indianapolis when they were Sophomores in high school! So, it’s a meaningful piece of my collection for the memories it brings!

One of my favorite all-time players and stories is with Satchel Paige. You can still find some nice cut autos and signed index cards for him at reasonable prices out there!

The 1969 Topps set was/is one of my favorite designs. St least in cards I can afford. It has Mantle, Clemente, Aaron, Rose, Ryan, Reggie Jackson and others and just looks cool. Clean. Simple. Low grade card but with great, bold signature. Love it.

I loved the early Star Co Jordan cards for years and have had this one for 10+ years now. They are really starting to make their move. Now I only wish I had bought a few more! Especially ones in high grade with great centering like this BGS 9 I have!
