First off, I really can't believe I logged on this morning to see that I had won. Then, the shock of the price was enough to make my day! All I can say is that I hope it reaches me w/o issue. I hesitate to discuss wins before they are in hand (stuff happens sometimes), but I couldn't wait on this piece!

This piece contains the following signatures, most who were with Brooklyn in 1941. All are deceased, many long ago. Several All Stars and a couple HOFers too:
Joe Medwick (D. 75) (HOF)
Freddie Fitzsimmons (D. 79)
Chuck Dressen (D. 66)
Alex Kampouris (D. 93)
John Hudson (D. 70) - 1940
Curt Davis (D. 65) (AS)
Herman Franks (D. 09)
Luke Hamlin (D. 78)
Kemp Wicker (D. 73)
Pete Reiser (D. 81) (AS)
Joe Gallagher (D. 98) - 1940
Lee Grissom (D. 98) (AS)
Cookie Lavagetto (D. 90) (AS)
Dixie Walker (D. 82) (AS)
Jimmie Wasdell (D. 83)
Paul Waner (D. 65) (HOF)
Morris Arnovich (D. 59) (AS) - ??? (Played in PhilP/NYG in 40-42 range)
Whit Wyatt (D. 99) (AS)
Lester Berg - ??? (Career minor leaguer, played in Atlanta/Montreal in the 1940-42 range)
Chuck Dressen (D. 66) - again!
Some key signatures for me are:
Morris Arnovich. He died in 1959 and was a 1 time AS. Not only does he fill an important hole in my AS collection finally, but he was Jewish and that adds a level of collectibility to his stuff that otherwise may not have been there with a player of his ability/statistics.
Paul Waner. I just landed my first Waner a few months ago, but this one is a nice addition!
John Hudson, Joe Gallagher and Kemp Wicker: All Dodgers players I didn't have signatures from already.
Then there is a nice selection of slightly tougher AS/HOFers, like Medwick, Reiser, Davis and Dressen that don't come around every day or cheap for that matter.
I consider this a huge steal!!
