Happy 90th Birthday Sandy Koufax!
 

Just showing off my small PC in honor of his birthday. Feel free to share yours as well!

I only have like two cards for Koufax... the 1960 Topps, and I have this one brand that I've never heard of before, but I bought it from a local shop:

Among the amazingly awesome assortment of autographs on the back of this photo, the one that caught my attention was the early Koufax. :cool:

Koufax is the ONLY superstar HOFer with a 1950's RC still alive.

And not only that, he's still signing with a extremely legible signature.

Perhaps the greatest left handed pitcher of all-time.

And by most accounts, a really nice, down to earth guy.

Happy B-day to him (and Bron and Tiger).

Is an old autographed ball personalized to someone worth anything? I've been sitting on one since the 80's. Ball is old, probably 60's.

It could be. Who's it to?

[QUOTE=towerymt;20128374]It could be. Who's it to?[/QUOTE]

Don if I remember correctly, haven't looked at the ball in at least 20-25 years. It's upstairs with a bunch of other signed baseballs I haven't looked at in decades.

Good lord, how old are you dude?

Perhaps older than rats

Love it! He’s also been a living Hall of Famer longer than any other person in history.

Yes. Less than not, but yes.

They were potato chips that were local to LA.

Ok cool, thanks.

I'm 50. I haven't looked at this ball since probably 1990. So decades, technically.

I’ve got a few years on you and I don’t think I’ve ever used decades as a measure in anything EXCEPT guys that complain that concert tickets used to be $10 and cards used to be $0.25 a pack. Even then I usually quantify the number of decades.

Cards used to be .05 a pack. $1.20 for a box.

Happy Birthday

Need to get an auto of his!
