Spring Training baseball is fun, and way more loose and personal than any MLB baseball game I have ever been to. The autographs come easier and everyone is laid back, at least the MLB stars. If you have never taken the time to come to Florida or visit Nevada for Spring Training baseball, you really are missing something special. I was able to meet some cool ball players that took the time to sign autographs, even thought they were not going to make the big league club immediately. Here is to having a successful autograph 2017 season! In addition, I am always adding plenty of ttm autographs, (through the mail). Till the next post…
Anibal Sanchez Starting Pitcher Detroit Tigers
This autograph was obtained in person, during the last game of Spring Training in Florida. Anibal Sanchez, was nice enough to come over and sign for his fans by the Detroit Tigers bench. These are the best seats in the stadium, very good access to the ball players, and if you are patient and nice enough they come over and sign. Autographs are always fun to obtain in person, my autographs are not for sale, but from time to time I do sell a few if I really want something else. Thanks for reading.
So you want to collect autographs? It is a cool hobby, but most people are weary about where they purchase autographs from. I sincerely cannot blame them. I have over 500 piece of autographs in my collections and they span from actors, to rock stars, to sports athletes, politicians and more. I was turned on to the autograph collecting world some 38 years ago by an old English teacher in elementary school in Brooklyn NY. This teacher was a creative teacher and in order to get student’s to write, he did something that changed the way I viewed autographs for the rest of my life.
The teacher taught us that if we wrote a well written letter to a Hollywood star or starlet, in return for our admiration and for being fans, they would return to us a photo autographed by the actor him or herself. It was a neat way to get these students to write and learn how to write appropriately. Not to mention fill out an envelope properly as well. Over the years, the autograph world has evolved into something phenomenal. In my opinion, these autographs have become easy to obtain, and like everything else the more in demand an autograph is, the more it can cost the collector.
Very recently Stan Musial and Earl Weaver passed on. Their respective autographs took a hike in price, that is to be expected. Most of the times, people raise the demand for an autograph of the deceased at the very time of their passing. But then most of the time, the autographs drop in prices soon there after. There is always something to be said about the experience of gathering autographs in person as opposed to getting them through other venues. Like collectible stores, and places like eBay. Of the most impressive autograph collections that I have seen, the most impressive belonged to a friend of mine that compiled some 1000 autographs of baseball players during 8 spring training season. It was very impressive, and also a very unique collection. Something that most people want as part of your collection.
Stan “The Man” Musial And Earl WeaverBaseball lost two legends this weekend. Stan “The Man” Musial and Earl Weaver. As a serious baseball card and memorabilia collector, these are two pieces that would most certainly be the centerpiece of any collection. During the last 15 years, I have been lucky enough as a collector to have met both.
Obtaining autographs in person is a treat and an experience that every sports card and memorabilia collector should try to have. I know that some cities have slowed down the baseball card shows and memorabilia sales over the last years that have been riddled by our country’s recession. But if you enjoy collecting and want to have a collection that satisfies you, the collector, you have to try to get some of these in person, and have a brush with sports greatness.
Pictured here in this post is my very own American League baseball, back when the umpires and baseball used things like the baseball to separate the leagues. Something they no longer do. I met Earl Weaver at a Miami sports show about 11 years ago. I was on a roll back then, and the Miami Marlins who were the Florida Marlins, were still fresh off a World Series championship and the memorabilia and sports cards show were still thriving. They have dwindled since then, and shows in this area have become all but extinct.
One of the biggest companies serving up autograph signings, and sports cards sales was BC Sports and Collectibles, and this recession reduced this company to the original store in Philadelphia. This was one of the one stop shops for me. Sports cards, jerseys, and memorabilia. You can still use them if you have access to the Internet. I signed up for their newsletters which include specials and great information on upcoming autograph sessions.
Although there is no substitute for autographs obtained in person. This is always a good option, plus they have a large supply of autographs. Everything from mini helmets, baseballs, footballs, photos. Earl Weaver was just what you saw on TV a feisty person, but also a kind and loving person. It was a great joy to have met him, and get his autograph in person. Something I recommend every autograph seeker do. A brush with greatness adds something extra to the autograph and story.
