Pete Rose Autograph Inscription Question

[Chris78]

Hi, I am thinking about getting Pete Rose in a few weeks at an autograph signing. I wanted him to sign "Hit King 4256" on a baseball. Is this two inscriptions? I see on ebay that he signs it 4256 or Hit King. I did see one inscription on ebay that says "All Time Hit King" which I liked. I prefer to have 4256 mentioned in my inscription. Anybody have any insight on this matter?

Thanks,

Chris

Not sure on all companies but with a Steiner signing that is 2 different inscriptions and I would assume it would be the same for most.

Maybe call the store handling the signing? At the very you get a direct answer, even if it may be the one you wouldn't prefer.

Now this is on the West Coast, but this company http://www.halloffamesports.com/ says Pete Rose is signing "4256" for free. I did email bcsports for the signing near Philly that I might attend.

Chris, I have worked with Pete Rose in the past and he is a nice guy. Write on a post-it note what you want him to write on it. What you are asking for should be one inscription only and no one should give you a hard time about it.

I just met mr rose for the first time last fall at a show here.And he was more than happy to sign whatever i wanted on the 16x20 photo i had him sign for me.He even asked what i wanted signed.And i was in such awe of meeting him in person, i just said sign whatever you like,just meeting you is all i wanted.And then he joked that he could have signed it johnny bench and i would'nt have known it.And i said yeah you are right.I told him it was a honor to meet him.And he said the honor was all mine.Very nice guy-By the way he did sign the photo pete rose and added #4192 inscription-As the photo i had was when he broke the record and he is tipping his cap to the crowd.....

I was thinking the BC Sports around Philly, so my apologies for assuming. Have heard similar things about Pete signings, so hope all goes well.

A little off topic, but I did see this photo this morning and, um, I don't know the correct words to describe this picture of Pete at yesterday's Reds game.

I think he bought that coat at Marge Schott's estate sale.

I did get Pete Rose today at the show in King of Prussia. I wrote on a piece of paper "Hit King 4256" and Rose said that it means the same thing which do you want "Hit King" or "4256". I said how about "All Time Hit King" and he just signed it "Hit King" and handed it back to me.

The reason why I brought this up was that I remember reading somewhere where someone asked the same question and he would not sign it that way "Hit King 4256". I guess my memory was correct.

I am still happy that I got the signature, and did not know what to expect.
