People always talk about how hard a Pete Rose autograph is to obtain, I guess I've gotten Lucky. Growing up when I did and he really likes kids, now that I'm older it costs, but still easy to get. (also easy to copy, all of mine but 1 are in person though)
When I was around 10 years old Pete Rose came to my neighborhood to pitch the first inning of a coach pitch game (I have absolutely no idea why) it was on the news but still not a lot of people showed up. My brother and I camped at the park all day skipping our normal summer day activities and got a gold mine of things. (not pictured a batting helmet)

| Ball (signed in Blue sharpie) and some puzzle card (Pete was a left fielder in this card) |
Now that I'm older and know a bit about collecting and values of things I'm working on my 76 Topps set (see Big Red Machine post). I paid to get this one he was super nice and advised me "black ink takes a little longer to dry."

I mailed this to His Hit Kind Inc. in Vegas. Although its not the official picture it's still a very rare gem. I wrote a nice letter and specifically asked for these inscriptions, making it even rarer and more valuable. This picture was taken after he broke Ty Cobb's all time MLB hit record. I wanted his signature, Hit King, #4192, and the date. and it actually came back as requested!!
