will- this is funny, my dad knew I was starting to get quite a few autographs so he gave me a couple he had got , One being jack Dempsey. He was a celebrity referee for a wrestling match and he ended up knocking out one of the wrestlers that night. My dad got the autograph and a story cut out of the paper the next day.

Very True! :D I like it when Collectors keep EXSPENSIVE autographs and choose not to sell them. {thumb2}

Not a chance. If I were to sell it, I'd no longer be able to say "I have Jack Dempsey's autograph".

scans to come soon!

My grandparents went to tons of plays back in the 40s, and she just gave them all to me. Included are:

Show Boat - signed by Billy House
Milk and Honey - signed by Molly Picon, Don Potter, and Larry Douglas

she also gave me 2 restaurant menus... Lobster for $4?!?! anyway... one was from boxer Lew Tendler's restaurant in Philly. He signed it.

Now... this one was a big "WOW"... Jack Dempsey had a restaurant in NYC. they got a menu SIGNED by him.

All of these were signed in person.
