Just curious if anyone collects autographed football cards?
Have you been able to complete a set?
It seems that football autographs are REALLY hard to find. There doesn't seem to be any large reputable dealers with any kind of inventory (always plenty of baseball!). Also, a lot of the football players from 1980 and earlier don't sign or do shows...and how about the cards that feature more than one player (like the leader cards or the dreaded Team Leader cards that picture 4 players and sometimes as many as 6 players!)?
I have been assembling an autographed 1978 Topps football set for many years...very close to completing it. I am always looking for nice, bold, solid autos to upgrade what I have and, of course, the cards I am missing. I just recently met Larry Seiple, who was kind enough to sign a few cards for me.
I have also dabbled with the 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1976 sets. They look so sharp with a nice, bold signature!
I've done quite a few requests through the mail with so-so results. Every so often, I actually receive some of my requests back that I mailed from 2-3 years ago!
