New Addition to my Sports Memorabilia room, *Personalized with my Poster name*

[flyingillini]

Wow, is all I can say.. Some of you know that I have a huge sports card, PreWar graded card collection along with a ton of other sorts of Memorabilia. I have autographs (mostly personalized) from Koufax, Gibson, Dimaggio, Mantle etc etc.. the list goes on and on.. if you are ever in my area would love to give you a tour.. However, I got a very nice gift today from a few people that are very special to me. I think it is pretty cool that I received this and how it is personalized! Very cool addition!! I have it right along side another Rose that I got at a card show in 1987 with him and Mcgee..

Great gifts flyingillini. I'm so jealous. I wish Chipper Jones would sign me an autograph.

[flyingillini]

ha Pavy... this was totally out of the blue.. didn't expect this and I know Rose is an easy signature to get, however this is a pretty cool gift to receive in the mail.. I met him in 87 and he was a hell of a guy.. it looks nice right next to the other one I have..

Very cool FI and very nice of the person that gave it to you.

[SBR_John]

[flyingillini]

It is pretty cool John, I am sure you know the people that got those 2 nice gifts... Great guys!

[DacBietViet]

nice. hold on to that. it will be worth a pretty penny soon

[flyingillini]

Ha, only value to me, but I do have a few other items with Rose along with Mantle and Eddie Mathews and a few other Hof on a game used bat

[VegasDave]

That's excellent! A true 1/1

[ijustwant2bpaid]

[flyingillini]

Gonna take pics of some new items, I won them in the last memory lane auction... great pieces!

[fsugolf]

nice!

[Poker_Beast]

Nice addition, cool.

I'd guess you got one hell of a collection FI. But we all know Pete will sign anything for $20.

But we all know Pete will sign anything for $20.

And I think that is overpaying lol.....nice stuff FI but I think I'd rather have it personalized with my real name as opposed to my SBR forum name, but whatever floats your boat, you must really love this place.

[fsugolf]

he probably has one with his real name as well. just a guess

[JoshW]

Forums and the real world (or at least Pete's world) come together.

Very cool gift.

Where did Illini get the Pete Rose signed shirt?

[head_strong]

I believe you can find him in the Field of Dreams memorabilia shop inside the Caesars Forum Shops about 6 days a week doing signings, not sure what he charges for the jersey.

Like I said, in other threads, it was a gift that I knew nothing about that was sent to me. I know he is one of the easiest signatures in the Hobby but to get this as a gift it was pretty cool.
