Thank you for watching! Let me know which one is your favorite from this collection.

@sfisportscards8323 Год назад

Beautiful display of autos. My favorite was probably the Joe DiMaggio collection with his brothers and Marilyn. Thanks for showing these off!

@signsofthepastime Год назад

The DiMaggio display was so good and the Marilyn signed ball was a fun surprise. It may be the collector’s favorite item because he got pretty excited talking about it on the video presentation. Thank you for watching and letting me know which one was your favorite, Sammy!

What an incredible collection. Thanks for the little tour, Hugo. That was a lot of fun. Especially the little shout out. Much appreciated. 😊

@signsofthepastime Год назад

I was trying to find Cleveland players, especially Don Mossi but not much luck. I was glad that he had the mid 90’s Indians team balls and I’m happy to give you a shoutout, Skaght! I appreciate the support always my friend 👊

@fastbreaksbreakfast Год назад

Oh man, what an amazing collection! Dihigo, Clemente, Jackie, Cool Papa Bell, Joe Jackson 😍. Thanks for sharing, Hugo!

@signsofthepastime Год назад

Thanks for watching, Paul! Those were some of my favorite ones too! It was the first time I saw a Martin Dihigo autograph in person and after I was done filming I went back to stare at it 😄 Have a great day my friend

@forgerelli1 11 месяцев назад

The Dihigo and Jackson are absolute garbage fakes. I higly doubt the Clemente and Robinson are real too.

@concretebuddy59 Год назад

Very cool video. I never get tired of seeing those autos. Thanks for the display.

@signsofthepastime Год назад

Thank you, George! I agree, it never gets old. It was a nice couple of hours spent and I plan to go back soon 😀

@3D80sKid Год назад

An amazing place to visit! Thanks for giving us a tour Hugo! So many amazing autographs.

@signsofthepastime Год назад

It really is pretty amazing to see this many autographed balls in one place. The employees saw me geekin’ out and gave me some free tickets 😁 Thanks for watching, John 👊

@returntocollecting Год назад

Wow Hugo! I'm down there a few times a year and I never knew about that collection. I'll visit the next time! That collection is absolutely incredible! Thanks for taking us on the tour!

@signsofthepastime Год назад

It’s right at the entrance to the pier, which I’ve been to numerous times, but just found out recently that this collection was there! It really is worth checking out. I plan on going back soon without my camera to take my time and read and listen to it all. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Darren

What an awesome collection of autographed baseballs. Thanks for the tour Hugo. Cool seeing the Joe Jackson signed baseball.

@signsofthepastime Год назад

Thank you for watching, Scott! The Showless Joe was definitely one of my favorites, I had never seen one in person.

@forgerelli1 11 месяцев назад

The Jackson is one of the mant fakes. There are zero authentic Joe Jackson signed baseballs. Zero.

@shoeboxlegends Год назад

What an amazing collection, Hugo! Thanks for taking us on the tour, was really cool to see all this baseball history in one place. Your Ah-nold impression cracked me up. Awesome to have this museum in your state, excellent job with the video as always my friend! 👊

@signsofthepastime Год назад

I should have practiced the Arnold impression before going for it 😆 This was a fun one to do. It’s pretty cool to be close to this. A bit longer video than usual but there’s so much to see. I appreciate you taking the time to watch, Shane, and letting me know you enjoyed it 👊

@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards Год назад

I think I love seeing the old balls more than the autos on the balls love seeing them all beat up and aged.

@signsofthepastime Год назад

They do look cool all aged and if the auto is strong and not faded makes it so sick! There’s a section in the display of just the different balls used through the years and it was really cool but I ended up cutting it out for video length’s sake :/ I appreciate you watching Dylan 🤙🤙

@ACollectorsDream Год назад

Awesome signed baseball collection. Including a Cap Anson early signed ball. Never seen that. Thanks again for your awesome videos.

@vintagecardssteve8582 Год назад

Pretty cool Museum. I never knew this existed. Nice spot on the Winfield/Carew mismatch. Lol. So many great signatures. Crazy to see like Hillary Clinton, MC Hammer, Willie Nelson, Kobe Bryant, John Cena, Elivs, Jessie Jackon. Super fun. Amazing stuff. Enjoyed and thanks for sharing with us.

@signsofthepastime Год назад

I couldn’t help myself, there were a few other mistakes but since it was the HOFers section I had to point it out 😁 Yeah an interesting collection for sure, I didn’t expect some to be there like Fidel Castro. I had to edit some of my commentary before posting it to just keep it polite and neutral 😆 I appreciate you watching it, Steve, and letting me know what you thought of it.

That's an amazing collection. The display of this collection is top notch as well. Not sure I could pick just one, but that Lindberg/Earhart is pretty amazing. Appreciate you sharing this with us.

@signsofthepastime Год назад

That was definitely one of the more impressive ones. If he just had each on a separate ball it would have been nice but on the same ball was just special. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, Kevin

Really epic tour Hugo. Man i really think my favorite to own would be walt Disney’s what an epic auto. I never would have thought to have orher people sign ball besides players. What a collection. Thanks dude for the great tour 🤯🤙🏻🤙🏻

@signsofthepastime Год назад

The Disney one was definitely cool to see. I like the celebrities section a lot because I had never seen most of them before so seeing them on a baseball for the first time was awesome! I messed up and ended up editing out an Alfred Hitchcock auto that was insane. I may do a short on it. Thanks Dylan! 🤙🤙

@@forgerelli1 which ones? I’m genuinely curious

@forgerelli1 11 месяцев назад

@@signsofthepastime Honestly, probably all of them that are worth more than $500. This guy is well know in serious rare autograph collecting circles for all his rare autos being fake. He's good at promoting himself to people like the local news guys that don't know anyhting about autographs.

@@forgerelli1 okay, I didn’t know that. I appreciate you letting me know. I’m going to look more into it. There were a couple I saw that I doubted the authenticity but gave him the benefit of the doubt.

There's always been a question to the authenticity of some of those balls. I won't go in to that rabbit hole here, but I can tell you for sure that the Red Faber is his wife's sig.

I was wondering about that as I was going through these. I’d like to go down these rabbit holes and find out myself if these are certified or where they were obtained. I appreciate you watching and commenting, Mike 👊

@t206kid 11 месяцев назад

Great job on the video. I have heard though that many of his autographs are not authentic. Like I know the candy Cummings auto is 100% not authentic. There are only 3 know examples of his autograph out there and all 3 are on paper.

@signsofthepastime 11 месяцев назад

Yes, I’ve heard the same thing. In the video, I kind of just went past the Candy Cummings ball because of the doubt surrounding it. There were a few questionable looking ones but from my own experience I’ve gotten in person autographs that look terrible and people would say are fake so I give those the benefit of the doubt. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback!
