Hello, I’m so sorry to bother you. But are you able to tell me if my Ty Cobb autograph is real or fake.

Collecting signed baseballs has gotten me to appreciate some of these less-discussed greats (like almost HoFer Allie Reynolds). I've got a Monte Irvin ball and probably paid $10 or less for it at a flea market.. Whomever /MS is, maybe they were also signing Mickey Mantle stuff. That M looks mighty familiar. Thanks, Frank!

I have a great story about Monte Irvin. 20 years ago my brother and I would do a lot of through the mail autos. For cases like Monte Irvin if we didnt have a card we would send an index card. Well, my brother sends an index card to Monte, he signs it and sends it back. Along with the auto he sent a list of prices of what he charges for autos. My brother being a very honest 10 year old kid sends the signed index card back to Monte with a letter saying he only gets $5 a week for allowance and cant afford it. I guess this touched Monte so not only did he send the index card back to my brother, but also included another signed card.

Great story and sounds like something he would do without thinking twice. Once he wrote out his entire return address on one of my TTM envelopes, complete with a signature. I kept it of course. If anyone is interested in looking up his old place on goole maps: 11 Dougals Ct. S., Homosassa FL 32646

A terrible thing has happened. A couple days ago I wrote a long response to this nice message, but it looks like KZitem deleted it. I am guessing because I included the full address of the house that he lived in in case people wanted to look it up on Zillow. I guess that is not allowed.

I think it’s great that we can get an autograph for only $40 of a guy who played a big part in the color barrier.
