Okay members. I need your opinions... Tomorrow I will be meeting Frank Thomas for an autograph. I have his High School yearbook and his college yearbook. Which would be best for this HOF'er to sign??

High school, due to rarity considerations, but don't get any pointless inscriptions. It would seem gimmicky at best to have his post-HOF signature with some "Good luck in college!" or "Have a great summer!" type of inscription.

College as that was his claim before his fame. most people tend to know who you are in college, as in high school your only special on a local level.

It made him and me laugh... Sometimes you just need to take collecting less seriously and enjoy the moment and memory. It's for my collection and I think it's unique and funny.

I've always viewed collecting as being a caretaker of history for the next generation. I realize I'm in the vast minority on this one, but it's how I see it. That's why I wouldn't mind a real yearbook with his high school signature (along with other classmates/schoolmates other random writing), however a yearbook with a clearly faked inscription would seem like a gimmick. That said, I'm glad the two of you got a nice laugh about it.

We did... Thanks. He's a good guy. I still have his college yearbook. Maybe that one will be just a plain HOF signature. Go Sox

I like the inscription idea and support any addition to ones collection that makes them smile. With respect to the above-poster's opinion, I think tha Frank's yearbook is prob in some abundance and is hardly destined for the smitsonian.

His high school yearbook is a tough find because he came from a very small school and I'm sure he is the most famous student, so they probably keep their yearbooks for that reason. Mine belonged to a office staff member.. Still has her name in the book. It's cool I think. Yep.. Won't make it into any museum.. Just cool and unique if your a Frank fan.

Glad you liked the suggestion; I think it came out great and it was very cool that Frank got a chuckle out of that inscription.

It isn't like this is his high school jersey or anything and I think the shared memory behind it would add to your personal Frank Thomas collection overall.

When it comes to signing just about anything in this hobby you will get folks on both sides of the fence. I think it looks awesome, stasman!
