I always appreciate when a celeb chooses the best spot to sign to create the greatest contrast between the auto and photo. Pretty funny that Arnie selected his groin area, but it worked out great.... Beautiful piece!
WOW!! Amazing autographs Graig!! Thank you for sharing these treasured collectibles along with the special memories!! As a vintage baseball collector my goal is to get an autographed Mickey Mantle ball!! Such a beautiful signature!! Always enjoy your connection with Graig Nettles as being from Minnesota I remember him starting his career with the Twins!!
Of all your videos since channels inception this was prob my fav. I’m a big fan of autograph collecting and very similar to you - I do it in person and for the experience. Buying autographs second or third hand mean nothing to me - I don’t know if they’re authentic and there’s zero personal connection for me. Obtaining an autograph in person when it is specifically meant only for you can’t be replicated. Great video… loved all the back stories!
Dude so I did not watch this I listened just now while setting up my pop up shop for saturday and I can truly say this is the greatest autograph collection with story’s ever. I dont even care what they look like hearing these story’s about how you got each one was incredible and it kept me wanting more. My fave has to be the george stimbrener however you spell it 😂 just incredible. Graig you da man ❤️👊🤙
Graig, what a super sweet (most of your) auto collection! I was going to say I like your Nettles check with the big color Yankee logo on it the best, but then you ended with the pic, of you, that your mom had signed, for you, when your were a toddler! 🤯🤯🤯DANG, that's an epic next-level collector move! ⏭⏭⏭⏭⏭
Fantastic autographs. One thing stands out in the video besides the amazing pieces you shared. That thing is the memory that is associated it with it. Whether you got it at a card show, jogged along side a golf cart, or it was given to you by a loved one or friend. That is what makes these amazing. Great video Graig.
Unreal collection. Can’t decide which I like best. Too much great stuff. Interesting where Arnie chose to sign 😂 Super cool about The Boss sig. So many great stories
Love the autographed baseballs in particular, though all of these were super cool. 🤩 So glad we are getting some behind-the-curtain looks at your incredible collection, Graig! Those Swansea signed jerseys are so cool. Can’t wait for the upcoming card countdown video.
Since autographs are the biggest part of my collection, I absolutely loved looking at your collection Graig. I really like the Jeter ball, since he doesn't sign as much these days and to buy it is crazy expensive. Also love anything Arnold Palmer...he was such a great golfer and ambassador of the game.
Hi Graig - That was so cool to see so many of the items that you had gotten signed in front of you. I'm jealous that you were able to get Ted Williams to sign a ball. I bought a ticket to have Ted Williams sign my 500 Home Run ball, but he had a Stroke and was only able to sign flat photos that day. Keep on putting on that great personel Graig touch on your videos. It feels like your talking only to me as I'm watching it. Have a really good day. Barry
Amazing collection, thanks for sharing! Apparently my dad’s uncle had some connection to the Pirates. The story I always heard was that he did the Pirates dry cleaning or washed their uniforms and somehow got to be friends with Tommy Lasorda that way (not sure the exact story, sounds sort of weird, haha). But anyways, when I was a kid in the 70’s, that uncle got us a ball signed by all the Dodgers at that time. And then my dad let us play baseball with it and it got ruined. Also, I had that same book with all the addresses. Does seem weird to be able to buy that, looking back on it now.
Great autos Graig. I need to do a video of all my autos. It’s not a focus in my collection, but over the years I have collected a decent amount of them.
Great autograph collection Graig. I have a Mickey Mantle autograph. In a book. Back in the late 1980's or I guess the early 1990's before his death. He was one of the professional athletes signing at that time. My Dad was along with his dad, and they got Mantle to, sign the book at a local book store.
Amazing collection! I have two of autographed Hall of Fame postcards: Bobby Doerr and Robin Roberts. I won the Robin Roberts in a giveaway on Twitter last year. I would love to have a Ted Williams autograph but who knows if I'll ever be able to afford to get one.
He couldn't have been nicer. He seemed honored that I asked. In fact, he literally didn't want to sign on the sweet spot. He said he liked saving the sweet spot for Joe Torre and only Joe Torre.
I can totally heear Reggie saying "OK fine" just the way you voiced it. After all, he's not at a table getting $50 or whatever per ball. But he signed it, that's the important thing, and not Tom Brady style either.

I noticed that too.
Thank u very much for sharing. It’s hard to pick a favorite. And i so don’t think collectors feel it is bragging to show ur stuff👏💃
I appreciate that.

Sweet autos and stories. That last one is pure gold.
Thanks Dean. It's a very special one, for sure.
Hi Graig. Just an awesome run of autographs. Thanks for sharing my friend. Talk soon pal.
Thanks Mr. PH.
Damn bro! Great autos! Glad that you shared them with us!! Love the last one!!
Thanks D.

Amazing collection, Graig. Thanks for sharing it and the stories. My favorite was the last one. :)
Thanks. It's super special to me.
Great stuff. I’ve never really shown my autograph collection off either although I was definitely part of my collecting journey.
I look forward to seeing yours someday.

Thanks Shane. Appreciate you.
Loved your autograph collection and recollection of obtaining them. I love autographs as much as cards. So many different ways to collect.
Thanks, it's been fun building it.
Some amazing autos Graig! I really like the Arnold Palmer that is sweet!
Thanks. I'm lucky to have obtained them.
Really enjoyed the showcase and stories!
Thanks for watching!!
Go, Lucy. Autos so cool. All cool. Like the Mantle. Cheers.
Thank you. I love autographs. So many great memories attached.
Awesome autographs! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Merry Christmas 🎅 Graig and family!
That’s all I wanted to say except good luck to Lucy!
Best Wishes,

Thanks Barry. I appreciate this comment.
The most impressive thing is how you obtained all of these - the Steinbrenner one, particularly, is my fave. Great display and great collection dude!!
Thanks Mookford.
Great collection and great memories associated with each of those items. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Dave. I appreciate your friendship.
Amazing collection! I really need to start making videos of my collection. I have a Clemens that I think you would enjoy
I look forward to it.
Cool items and stories
Thanks so much.
Awesome autographed pieces, beautiful stuff
Thanks Orlando.
Absolutely great stuff Graig. I like all the golf autos
Thanks Mike. I hope all is going well.
Amazing collection, thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much for the mail! 🤝 It just arrived today for some reason and is stamped on Nov. 24th.
Glad it made it!!

Nice auto’s Graig. Best has to be the Mantle Ball.
Thanks Don. That one is very special for sure.
Nice memorabilia, Graig!
Thanks so much.

Great memories associated with autographs.
Nice video and stories. Totally agree with your comment about the top 100 card show off videos being indulgent. Not a fan of those
I get it. I really do.
Autographed baseballs 😍
Yes!! I did something you like!! :-)
Haha you’ve done a lot of things I like Graig, don’t sell yourself short!
I just like to tease you 🤪
@ 😘
Sick freaking autograph collection…how do you store/display them….I’m always interested to hear different perspectives, ideas and ways to do it
I have some in a display box area in my office so it doesn't get direct sunlight. I keep some in my closet.
Very cool stuff!!! I laughed out loud when you just happened to have that ball at dinner for George to sign. Was he cool or did he seem bothered?
He couldn't have been nicer. He seemed honored that I asked. In fact, he literally didn't want to sign on the sweet spot. He said he liked saving the sweet spot for Joe Torre and only Joe Torre.
What kind of pen do you use for autograph balls? Where do you store them? They looking great condition
I have ballpoint pens for balls. I store them in a closet.
I can totally heear Reggie saying "OK fine" just the way you voiced it. After all, he's not at a table getting $50 or whatever per ball. But he signed it, that's the important thing, and not Tom Brady style either.
He actually said, "Let the players rest." Meaning, I was burdening him by asking him. LOL.
@@MidLifeCards Ah, so you were paraphrasing. Maybe Mr. October was just having a long day.
