At least one (or more) obscure (or nearly so) former . . .
. . . Detroit Tigers ballplayers on my want list (at a price I deem reasonable).
2013 was an outstanding year for my collection as I successfully added five autographs from my want list. Given the obscurity of most of the names on that list (or infrequency of the not-so-obscure), even crossing off one wanted autograph during the course of a calendar year is reason to celebrate.
Just a small sampling of some the names I still need (these have more recent deceased-dates):
