Did you know that you can get Chipper Jones autograph for FREE! According to his website,Chipperjones.com, all you need to do is send him a written request, along with a postage paid envelope and he will send you back a personally signed photo.
Don’t bother sending in your own collectibles or memorabilia to be signed. Chipper receives thousands of items every year and it is just too much to keep up with. He will only send you the signed photo which can take a year or longer to make it’s way back to you. Still, not a bad deal for this Atlanta Braves Future Hall of Famer.

A community library in Florida recently made a very cool find while going through one of its storage closets. It was a penny postcard from the 1940s that contained what looks like an autograph from baseball legend Babe Ruth.
There was only one problem: The postcard also looked like a child had used it for a piece of scratch paper while learning about the wonderful world of punctuation:
Officials from the Clermont Memorial Library Association have yet to authenticate Ruth’s signature, but there’s a chance it’s the real deal. The Yankees used to hold spring training down the road in St. Petersburg and it was common back then to have baseball stars (as well as other celebrities) autograph postcards instead of their baseball cards.
Hollywood Autographs pegs the value of a Ruth autograph at anywhere from $20,000 if the signature is on a baseball to around $3,000 if it’s on a photo or card. There’s no telling, though, how much this card would be devalued with the presence of some additional doodling as well as what looks like an aborted attempt to trace over Ruth’s signed name.
The postcard has no address, but it does have some unfortunate, additional writing on it. It appears a child used the same signed card to practice his or her homework, writing, “Period is this,” followed by an arrow pointing to the punctuation mark.
Several photos were also found in the storage unit, which could help identify the original owner.
Library officials have released the photos to the public, hoping that someone will recognize the subjects and be able to shed some light on how the Ruth autograph ended up in their storage closet.
And on the chance that the young grammarian/graffiti artist is still alive? Well, he or she is probably overdue for a lecture about respecting other people’s property.
Preferably from the man in Ohio who looks exactly like Babe Ruth.

Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) now has added extensive information about professional model baseball bats to PSA CollectibleFacts, its free online resource.
The new section, PSA ProBatFacts, is part of an ongoing expansion to create the Internet’s most comprehensive site for information and illustrations about sports and many non-sports collectibles. All of it is available free to the public.
“PSA ProBatFacts focuses on the weapons used by many of the most dangerous hitters in baseball history, their bats. We’re launching this new section of PSA CollectibleFacts with over 100 web pages on individual players and their bats, including hundreds of photographs. We’ll be expanding and adding many more current and former players, which also includes Hall of Fame members, in the coming weeks,” explained Joe Orlando, president of PSA and editor of Sports Market Report (SMR).
“Professional model bats are among the most desirable items in the entire sports memorabilia hobby. They are tangible pieces of sports history, used by the players to create that history.”
Each page of PSA ProBatFacts contains photographs and information about the types of bats used by each hitter, as well as specific player characteristics collectors should look for, such as heavy pine tar patterns on game-used George Brett and Willie Mays bats, or unique taping methods applied by Duke Snider and Ken Griffey, Jr. There is also biographical information about the players who used the bats, SMR Price Guide values, noteworthy auction prices realized and links to other informative articles.
The PSA ProBatFacts home page has informative articles and a link to an online video that clearly and concisely provides tips on collecting game-used bats and the kinds of player characteristics that may be found on professional model bats.
“We carefully selected the images of bats you’ll see on PSA ProBatFacts. When possible, it is important to showcase quality illustrations of the specific player characteristics that are mentioned on each player’s page. Many of the bats pictured are among the finest examples known,” said Orlando.
Another major section, PSA AutographFacts, is scheduled go online this fall with extensive information and illustrations for autograph collectors.
Babe Ruth’s earliest game-used N.Y. Yankees jersey known to exist set a record when New York auction house Lelands.com purchased it for a record $4.4 million – the highest price ever paid for a piece of sports memorabilia. The public will have a rare opportunity to view the world’s most famous shirt when Lelands displays the jersey at the National Sports Collectors Convention on Aug. 1-5, at the Baltimore Convention Center.
“Babe Ruth is the king of all sports, the most iconic figure in sports history,” said Mike Heffner, president of Lelands. “We are ecstatic with the new owner’s decision to share this very rare, very special and very important piece of sports memorabilia with fans who would never otherwise have the opportunity to see it in person.”
The early 1920s jersey, purchased by Lelands this past May, was worn by the “Sultan of Swat” after coming over to the Yankees from the Boston Red Sox. It had previously been displayed at The Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum in Baltimore. An avid collector and baseball lover bought the jersey after one of the most high-profile and competitive auctions in the marketplace. The buyer, who wishes to remain anonymous, arranged for the jersey to also be displayed at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The Bambino’s jersey will be under guard for the duration of the NSCC show.
