Toughest signed cards possible

I know several individuals have reached to him and offered crazy sums to 1-3 cards and he declined. I'd imagine he receives signing offers as soon as often as he receives TTM requests.

Eventually I'm convinced he'll sign and come around. Everybody has a price.

A Dick Howser 1987 was on eBay earlier, but it got pulled.

A few days ago Quan posted some of his cards, and a couple people were ooh-ing and ahh-ing at his signed Jim Abbott card. I didn't see his name mentioned in this thread. Is he a tough one in general?

He doesn't TTM sign, but he usually has 1-2 signings per year at $15-$20 per.

Finding any Doerr / Feller cards signed are near impossible

And I've never posted this here before because I didn't want to deal with the numerous PMs asking me to sell, but here's one from the personal collection....

Mossi...he is GLORIOUS

I picked up a lot of cards on the cheap recently and in it was a 1986T Traded Ricky Wright. I know there is a fair amount of buzz about the 87T but his signature seems to be harder to find on anything, given the career he had and the fact that he is still alive. I have seen a number of 83F cards, which would be my card of choice anyway. I have him on that and a 8x10 team sheet with multiple other players.

Anyway, I was going to scan this card and see what others thought. I don't know if this card has the reputation for being any tougher than any other Wright auto (besides the 87T), but the rest of the lot looked good and for the price I paid, it was ZERO risk for me on this or any other card in the lot.

Scan to follow shortly…

I am having some doubts now as I see this compared to others that are "certified", but who knows? There are not a lot of signatures to compare with.

Only the 87 topps he won't sign apparently



Just picked up a signed 71 Hodges...not an easy one!

I'm surprised at how difficult Earl Harrist from the 1953 Topps set is; I've only seen one, and that was over a year ago. Meanwhile I've seen two each of Karl Drews, Cliff Fannin, Danny O'Connell and Don Hoak, who all died in the 1960s.

Never seen Harrist on a 52 either
