I just found my Ronald Reagan Autographed Baseball!

[matcom]

Hadn't know where it was for years now! :rofl:

Also signed by Jim Palmer, Roger Maris and a bunch of others!

When I was a kid, Reagan had a National Baseball Day on the White House Lawn and my team was invited. I remember getting my picture taken with the old wrinkly bastard like it was yesterday!

Not sure what year it was but...

THE AUCTION IS OPEN!!

step right up bidders!

22. Auction it on eBay

This is the kind of thing that would sell for a fortune.

Set a reserve that must be met - have it estimated by someone who knows the real value as in - there are 2 types of collectors who will buy this -
1) the baseball people who collect memorabilia
2) the FReepers that you are dying to meet and believe to this day that Reagan walked on water and that Nancy wasn't the president.

11. Reagan Zombie rises from the dead ...

says, in quavering ol' Ronnie voice: "Well, Matcom, you certainly have turned out to be a very naughty boy. *bobs head* Nancy and I are, well, very disappointed in you."

Dr. Emmett Brown: Then tell me, "Future Boy", who's President in the United States in 1985?
Marty McFly: Ronald Reagan.
Dr. Emmett Brown: Ronald Reagan? The actor?
(chuckles in disbelief)
Dr. Emmett Brown: Then who's VICE-President? Jerry Lewis?

21. Could it have been May 11, 1983?

I wasn't seriously trying to find this shit; just wondering if it could be done. Apparently, it could: http://tinyurl.com/34krgb
(Why would this be at U. of Texas? Well that I don't know.)

[matcom]

23. '83 I would have been around 13 - Totally Possible

that was about the age I was when I went :shrug"
