Nice cards Ray & Irv. Unlike collecting the regular '52 Topps - the signed versions have their own perceived rarities. I am starting to realize how difficult it is to collect the majority of a signed '52 set.
Is there a price guide for signed versions? This would yield some clue as to the rarities. |

Those individuals from this set who died in the last 20 years and are a part of the low number grouping are reasonably easy to get as the hobby for signed cards has exploded. Mind you they are still not cheap and will carry a premium over most ungraded cards (condition considered). HOF'ers are another matter. Most are pricey. Lastly; high numbers are really tough. Their original scarcity combined with the fact that most collectors of this set balk on buying them to try and get them signed has left the marketplace thin on available examples. All this added to the fact that most players are now deceased, makes this venture a very challenging one. There is a great article on this subject in a recent PSA SMR Magazine. Here's a little more eye candy: Lastly; this thread was meant to provide a space for recent signed acquisitions from any vintage set. Please feel free to share anything at all. RayB

Ray--variant collectors seem to recognize at least 3 versions of the 52 Feller. Slats in background, no slats in background and very light slats in background. Could just be the scan but I do not see any slats in the one you posted

Luck of the draw here when I bought my raw card originally many years ago. Feller signed mine through the mail. RayB

Is there a preference for grading services when it comes to signed cards?

I know there are a few on here who collect them, and like the article below reads, they are likely only going to increase in value. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidse.../#318f35b67d55 Quote:

Great stuff Adam! I'll bet even the Ballparks Promotion ticket with Aaron's image on it would sell for a pretty penny today.
Love the images. Thanks for sharing. RayB

I thought the ticket was so nice that it was a keeper, and a great COA for the autograph.
No one's said a word about Julie Newmar...buncha card nerds. That's why the hookers never come back to the convention hotels after the first night. One came up to me in Chicago and said "I'll do anything you want for $200." I said "Find me a T206 Cobb portrait with a green background." Never heard back from her.
