When is an autograph a lie??

I made it up to the show in Murfreesboro, TN today.  It's a bi weekly show and I haven't been since probably September of last year.  Honestly, most of the vendors aren't for me.  It's a small show with like 20 tables-but they are just really tight and it's hard to have room to look at everything.  So over time I have found two or three vendors there that I really like and I come back for them.  One is an older gentleman who is always buying so he always has a new stock of jerseys and autos.  I spent some money with him but you won't see any of those unless they show up in your mailbox!!  I did visit my guy who has great vintage(usually too pricy for me) and also great autos.  I spied this one probably two years ago and couldn't make a deal.
I was surprised that this was still around(probably due to the price) but it was!  So here you have Gaylord-

It's true- I didn't attend Gaylord's 300th win but I didn't want this nice piece that proclaims the holder did attend.  We finally made an agreeable price and now Gaylord resides in my baseball room!

Have a great Saturday!

  4. That piece is awesome. I have a similar piece of memorabilia. It's a ticket stub from the Colorado Rockies/San Diego Padres game on October 7th, 2001. Rickey Henderson collected his 3,000th hit that day. The same day Tony Gwynn played his final MLB game. Guess what? I didn't actually attend that game... but it's still one of my favorite items in the collection.
