Brian Flam (www.theautographcard.com) brings new hope to the TTM hobby. He pointed out one attractive subset of baseball history that many autograph buffs have overlooked: the Ford Frick winners, as honored by the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Although many early pioneers have died, Brian noted that he’s had good success through the years writing to broadcasters in care of their teams.
I agree. I treasure the bonus photo I received years ago from Jack Buck. He added “HOF 1987” and “Go Crazy Folks.”
Who’ll be the next names on the list? Get them early.
