Ok, so I went to our local Goodwill today and found a few things. The first is 'The Doles: Unlimited Partners', possibly autographed by Senator Bob Dole:


Everything looks good about the "autograph", except the inscription "With Best Wishes", which is broken up along the bottom. So he either wrote it with a piece of paper underneath, or the inscription is a stamp? What do you guys think?

And then, I found this children's book, 'Ghosts of the White House', written and illustrated by Cheryl Harness. Cheryl is the author and illustrator of over 40 children's books. I first found one copy signed by her, then, after looking around a bit, found another one autographed by her, this one inscribed "...signed this very book for Abbey Zecka(I think) Spring 2005". If anyone is interested in one of these, it's for sale or trade. Highly unusual to find two copies of the same book signed for sale at the same store!

I actually find those books adorable.

I wouldn't mind trading some of the following autographs for the non-personalized one:

Winston Lawson (Former Kennedy Secret Service Agent) on Notecard
Henry M. Paulson signed $1 Bill (He was the sec. of treasury)

Lemme know if you are at all interested. Thanks. I also got a buttload of AP and PP I will throw in as goodies!

I've found a few here and there over the years at Goodwills, yard sales and also the dollar store is a good place to find them. There are 3 dollar tree's within a 20 minute drive from me and they always have a bunch of signed books. Picked up a few over the years. My best find ever though was in '94, I went to a yard sale with my mom and grandmother and came across the book Orr on Ice, Bobby Orr's hockey training book. It was signed NICELY on the first page and it only cost me 25 cents. I sold it years later for 40 bucks. lol.. Good return! Always keeping an eye out for more.
