Good stuff fire.
As a big Roberto Clemente fan that you may have seen in my latest vintage thread, I am very familiar with Bob Friend.
I just got back into the vintage game last year, after a 30 or so year layoff. I last collected with my father when I was little. I wrote about my collecting, then coming back to the hobby, in my original post, which I linked to in my latest thread.
So I am slowly building/rebuilding a modest vintage collection and as an odd coincidence, I
ALSO USED TO COLLECT AUTOGRAPHS. But that was another focus in more recent years, though I did have some baseball oriented items when I was little. I was a big TTM collector about 10-12 years ago in another non-baseball subject.
(Ironically, my father just recently gave me a scrapbook of some items I had when I was little, and there are a few HOF'ers autos in there that I acquired in the 80's.) Most everything card related that we had when I was younger is long gone, so when my father came forward recently with a few things that he somehow kept, I was pretty stoked to have them.
So from the collecting vintage baseball and also my autograph interest, I loved seeing that
Friend/Pierce dual you just picked up.
Looking forward to seeing more.
