Carl Ballantine has been signing autographs for years, as an actor in TV shows like "McHale's Navy" and as the comedy magician "The Great Ballantine".  I also saw him lecture at the Magic Castle in Hollywood in the mid-1990s, and I can tell you, Ballantine is one of the funniest people in the world. 

I saw him perform his magic act at the 2002 convention of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, and he was hilarious.  The book photo above was signed at that event.  Here's another autograph below, he signed on the back of a postcard he was selling after his lecture.   

Back in the 1980s and the 1990s, I wrote him a few autograph request letters and he was nice enough to sign some material for me.  Here's some examples.

Ballantine's autograph is found on eBay in categories like:

• Buy > Collectibles > Fantasy, Mythical & Magic > Magic
• Buy > Entertainment Memorabilia > Autographs-Original > Movies
• Buy > Entertainment Memorabilia > Autographs-Original > TV

You can also do Buy category searches using phrases such as "Carl Ballantine autograph", "Carl Ballantine autographed", "Carl Ballantine signature" and "Carl Ballantine signed".

On June 27, 2006, I purchased as buy-it-now a Ballantine signature for $3.99 plus $2.50 shipping from eBay seller hoggiles.  When I see other Ballantine autograph examples selling, the prices seem quite reasonable.
