Farewell Larry "Chipper" Jones

Over the weekend I attended the Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Atlanta Braves baseball game with my wife Rose.  This game was a historical baseball event as it was Chipper Jones' last game as an Atlanta Brave in Chase Field. I was lucky enough to get to meet him and I hope the rest of his last season is as great as the game was at Chase Field! Good luck Chipper!

Make sure that the products that you buy to store your autographs is clearly labeled acid-free. If the package doesn't specify that, don't trust it with your photos. 2.

James Dean’s Intimate Letters to Girlfriend Coming to Auction

Three James Dean handwritten  letters to his girlfriend, never before offered for sale, will be sold at Christie's London November 23, 2011.   I've posted the article below from Autograph Magazine .  Take a look!  James Dean handwritten letters are among the rarest and most valuable of Hollywood autographs. Only a few have come to market since Dean’s tragic death in a 1955 car crash, just 24 years old. So when Neil Roberts,  Christie’s Head of Pop Culture in London, asked for any information we might have on them to help him with a potential consignment, I had to know more. But I had to wait…. “At the moment they are reluctant to send me any copies,” Neil said. “However the names and places they provided seem to add up.
