Babe Ruth Signature

[alexanderino]

Apologies for the off-topic post, but:

 

Oh yeah. I lost a lot more than the baseball. There was lots of valuable stuff, artwork, paintings, historical items, collection of 40 rare German beer steins some going back to the 16th century. Plus I am now a person with no history. I was the family genealogist and I lost records of close to 1,800 relatives, marriage licenses, birth certs, photos going back into 1800's, other documents going back as far as 1444, plus all my photos. I have no photos of my parents, grandparents, or of my childhood, travels, trips to Europe, and I had thousands and thousands. Plus I lost $20,000 worth of amateur radio gear. All gone. I have nothing now except my memory. Hah. Yeah, it was very painful.

:blink: Reading that was painful enough; I cannot begin to imagine what you would've gone through. My sincerest condolences.

 

Why on earth would a thief be interested in such esoteric items? Could someone in the know have been involved? Very curious, indeed …

I ran across this thread while looking for information on a Diamond Babe Ruth pen I have. As an aside to the original topic, the sports memorabilia appraiser on the Antiques Roadshow is banned from from Baseball Hall Of Fame. Something about items he had been looking at turning up missing.
