Hey Steve, what did that Snoopy bulletin board look like? Did it say “It was a dark and stormy night”, with Snoopy typing and the others standing around nearby?

Nah, it was, IIRC, Snoopy on his doghouse (Cork Bulletin Board).

Bummer on your story. You sure the stamped signature was legit? I would have checked another source for a tie-breaker!

Sort of similar story:
Big Yankees fan growing up, loved Catfish Hunter. The old guy who ran the corner store across the street knew it, and gave me an autographed black-and-white photo of Catfish! I was about 8 or so.
Years later, I move into a new bedroom and I’m checking out my (still hanging on the wall) framed and autographed photo of Catfish, and I compare it to my 1977 autographed Yankees baseball (which I now know was stamped).

The Catfish signatures were nothing alike. The old guy signed it himself. Oh well.

Nice gesture, of course…

Actually, it was Darryl and Doc, but I dug Rickey. Even BR/TL like he did

Just wanted to say thanks to all for the kind words on this one. It was my pleasure to share the story!
