I picked this up from eBay on a whim for $3. I think I was looking at some other things this seller had and I decided to put in the minimum bid. On the front is a nice standard photo of the famous Yankee Joe Pepitone.
The back is where the interesting part is. Certainly an unusual autograph. It matches other Pepitone autographs, and I found some inscriptions written in print and they seem to match soon. I'm guessing he had a stack of these and in this case used one to leave a message to the mailman. I'm guessing that mailman kept it for a while and then sold it, probably expecting more than $3 for it.
I guess it could be from any time from the early 1970s to his death in 2023, but I'd like to assume it's from the 70's. Overnight mail is more a product of that time anyway. Certainly an unusual item.
definitely, not your everyday
ReplyDeleteI think that's much cooler than the typical signed photo. It's personal and real.
ReplyDeleteSuper cool item, especially for $3.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely one of the more interesting autographs that I've seen in a while.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Now that's a pretty cool collectible.
