I have been collecting autographs for years both in the Topps 40 years baseball book and on Topps cards. I have given up on autographed cards, especially from the young athletes. They have such terrible penmanship. The older athletes have such beautiful autographs. It is like art. Mantle, DiMaggio, Killebrew and others had wonderful signatures. I got Joc Peterson at a Sac Rivercats game before he got called up and he signed a JP on my card. Couldn’t believe it. I stopped trying to get autographed sets and turned my collection in a different direction. Kind of bummed as I had been doing the autographed cards since the late 80’s and early 90’s.
