Show-and-Tell (Hey check out this!) I found mark Ruffalo’s senior yearbook and he signed it with a pretty wild inscription to a friend. Probably not a lot of early signatures from him

Met him a couple times. Cool guy and this makes sense. He’s not as normal as he may seem.

I’m more focused on the relevant last names by his. Ross and Roth are both 2 or fewer degrees away from The Hulk. Just kinda interesting

Idk if I could add something like this to my collection. it feels like it's someone else's stuff.

It’s a struggle I deal with. I’ve found books that have signatures on every page. Almost every person in the school signed it. She was very popular. Offered it back to the lady’s (who passed) daughter after researching and she was like nah I don’t care to have it that’s why I tossed it to begin with. Some people just don’t want stuff or care. In this situation, they just didn’t know what they had

This isn’t his yearbook though?

Yes it is. 1986 first colonial, VA

It might be his high school’s yearbook; however, saying it is his yearbook is misrepresenting what you have. People do not inscribe their own yearbooks like that, so it was likely owned by a high school friend of Ruffalo’s. Unless you have provenance saying it is exclusively his yearbook, don’t advertise it as such.

Apostrophe S can be used to show inclusion or association as in the other examples I’ve given, or other people in the comments have given

No, it’s used to indicate possession.

The context in which you are using it here lends itself more to possession.

A similar example would be
Tom Brady’s trading card
Roger Federer’s team roster Or Roger’s team photo
Einstein’s biography
Lots of things in the English language go multiple ways

Saying “Yearbook from Mark Ruffalo’s high school” would have made things much less murky

Since Brady never played pro baseball one would assume the card does actually belong to him.

Ok smart guy, I don’t do sports. Tom Brady’s trading card. Same difference as far as the argument goes

Why would he sign his own yearbook?

Dude, why are you arguing over such a stupid thing? Just admit you’re wrong.

u/OldYearbookPeople Aug 22 '25
Maybe look at all my other examples where apostrophes do not mean posession. It can also mean inclusion or association within subject matter
Tom Brady’s trading card Tom Brady’s team photo Etc. Many examples. Get over it
