   Baseball question   
   24 Jun 08 21:01:06   
   
   From: dahoov2@cox.net   
      
   I was wondering about what would ruin a value of a baseball.   
      
   I got an official ball signed by Bill Buckner and then today I almost   
   brought it and got Lee Smith to sign it as they played together   
   briefly (I think one season).   
      
   What constitues a better thing:  two separate balls, a ball with   
   players all from the same team (and do they have to be same year(s),   
   Or is it bad to get someone of lesser known status on a ball with   
   someone of a more major status?   
      
   I ended up not bringing the ball as I thought perhaps Buckner was best   
   left on that alone (unless I can get a couple major names from the   
   year the ball went between his legs).  Thoughts?   
      
   My question makes me wonder about music graphs too.  So say I got some   
   70's-80's band signatures but later on they have new band members.  If   
   I had say a generic item like a pickguard or drum head, would it be   
   good to get the other sigs, or leave it to the ORIGINAL members?  I   
   would think getting a CD or photo signed which a new member was not   
   part of would not be cool, but not sure about more generic things.   
   Opinion?
