Those are some nice looking autographs. Thanks so much for sharing...

How do you personally like the new SGC holders compared to the ones prior? By the pictures they look pretty nice to me.

I’d personally have to get the Super posted earlier in the thread in just a tad bit smaller holder. That should go in the postcard size holder, correct?

I like the holders. The only negative for me is I have probably close to 50 Kaline signatures in the old holders and these obviously don’t match for display purposes. As for the 71 Super I don’t know what the deal is with that holder. Not sure why they didn’t put it in the smaller one like the post cards. One of these days I will call and ask SGC. Overall I have no issues with SGC. They have treated me pretty well.

I haven’t submitted anything to SGC, or PSA for that matter, but think for an autographed card I think the holders gives a better look for display purposes than the card alone. I’m doing a kinda side project of a regular issue autographed run of Brooks Robinson in pen, some are in holders that I purchased this way and some are just the card. Im still unsure at this point whether I want to spend the money on slabbing them or not. Also, as you noted they are in different holders, I’d likely want them all to be the same, but for you that sounds like it would be a costly proposition.

Picked these up the other day. Taking them to Cleveland in a couple of weeks to have authenticated and get the auto’s graded.

Awesome stuff...thanks for sharing. I'm kinda working on an SGC Killebrew base card auto run...have a few nice cards but not intense about it. Seeing these gives me an itch...lol. I too wasn't into autos but they are sure nice to own.


Do you think guys like Kaline and Brooks own any of their own cards? They get to see every nook and cranny card out there as they get requests, I would think human nature would be to collect my own cards. I know I certainly would!! haha...

Again...thanks for sharing!

I don’t think Brooks collects anything. He pretty much gives/gave his playing day items away. Many years ago when they wanted to get a pic of Brooks with his gold gloves they had to borrow other players GG awards so they could do the photo; he’d given most of them away. Rawlings ultimately had 16 more made and gave them to Brooks and a couple years ago they went in the Heritage auction and he donated tbe proceeds to charity.
