Bidding

Autoball has produced facsimile-signed, souvenir baseballs (sold at stadiums) since 1947. Here is a collection of more than 100 different player agreements, most of which are signed multiple times to provide exemplars which were then used to produce the facsimiles used on autoballs! It is increasingly impossible to find autographs of contemporary players on letters or documents. These one-page contracts make for a great display and many are also the earliest dated samples known to us and executed neatly and before the illegible slop typical of many later signatures. A total of more than five hundred autographs total broken down as follows: Bob Abreu March 12, 1996 signed five (5) times; Sandy Alomar, Jr. March 6, 1987 signed five (5) times; Felipe Alou May 28, 1992 signed two (2) times; Brady Anderson April 1, 1988 signed five (5) times; Derek Bell March 11, 1992 signed five (5) times; Albert Belle March 3, 1991 signed five (5) times; Rafael Belliard June 1984 signed five (5) times; Scott Brosius March 2, 1991 signed five (5) times; Kevin Brown (debut 1986) March 16, 1994 signed five (5) times; Jeff Abbott February 25, 1997 signed five (5) times; Kurt Abbott March 17, 1994 signed five (5) times; Mark Acre March 7, 1994 signed five (5) times; Mark Accuado April 12, 1995 signed five (5) times; John Adam March 20, 1984 signed five (5) times; Willie Adams March 5, 1996 signed four (4) times; Terry Adams April 12, 1995 signed five (5) times; Joel Adamson March 6, 1996 signed five (5) times; Jose Alberro April 13, 1995 signed five (5) times; Israel Alcantara April 16, 1995 signed five (5) times; Manny Alexander August 25, 1997 signed five (5) times; Edgar Alfonzo June 5, 1995 signed five (5) times; Jermaine Allensworth March 6, 1996 signed five (5) times; Richard Almanzar March 6, 1997 signed five (5) times; Rich Amaral March 14, 1992 signed five (5) times.
