Thanks! I just wish I knew how to add to the collection. I'm pretty much stuck at this point at 38 signed poses (not including Mrs. Matty & Mrs. McGraw on their husband's cards).

Once upon a time, I was selling a number of signed 1950's Topps cards, and one of the buyers indicated he was working on his THIRD signed set of 1958 (I think that was the year) Topps, having already completed two! Now [I] that [I] takes some dedication!

Any idea what the ceiling is right now? In other words, how many other signed poses that you're aware of but don't own?

Working on a 1984 Topps set, but I don't know if it can be completed. A ton of multi-player cards and one player who has been hiding in Europe from federal authorities for maybe two decades now. I have about 225 different so far...

I gave up on 55 Bowman needing about 30 and broke it up. Only need Clemente on 64 Topps Giants, Cobb on possibles on 1960 Fleer. Need about 8 on 61 Fleer and 8 on NuCard Scoops

Got half way on 52 topps

[SikSyko]

Working on a bunch of sets, nothing really vintage.

Finished this one. 1991 Ultimate Original 6. Only 94 cards out of the 100 could be signed plus the 3 extra error cards.



64-5 (1994) Parkhurst Missing Link. Down to 8 left, all ones that had passed away within a year after the set came out. I know someone who has 3 of the harder ones I need.



2006-7 Parkhurst (left) 2011-2 Parkhurst Champions (right). Around half way done with each with being lazy with working on them.



Signature Rookies Miracle on Ice ####/2000, need a few to finish this one.



1991 Topps Archives 1953, have just over half of this one as well and being lazy with this one as well.



As well as the 74-5 OPC WHA, 77-8 OPC WHA and all the 80-1 to 89-90 OPC hockey.

I was working on 2 sets at a time for myself and one for my brother. 1969 topps is my birth year set and I got about half way before I sold it. Too much money for guys like Mantle, Mays, Clemente and knowing if they are authentic or not. My brothers set is his birth year 1974 topps, and I have about 140 done. Right now I am currently working on the 1976 topps set and have 337 cards signed from the base set and traded set combined. I am a member of a sports autograph site and we do 50/50's where I will send 10 cards and they will send 5 back signed and I could knock off the 76 set when players were coaching in certain areas. If anyone has any 1976's and would be interested in trading or selling, let me know.

I just saw this. I think the ceiling is probably right around 60. If I get to 50 in my lifetime, I'll die happy. The acquisitions have slowed to a major trickle in the past 5 years. I added Rucker (Throwing) last fall, and then Blackburne over a year ago.

The ones I know are out there include and am certain are real include:

1. Cicotte
2 Clarke (Portrait)
3. 4. and 5. Cobb x3 (Green, Red and Bat On)
6. Lajoie Batting
7. Donie Bush
8. Deacon Phillippe
9. Bresnahan (Batting)
10. Cravath
11. Lobert
12. Speaker
13. Walsh
14. Wiltse (Portrait No Cap)
15. Zimmerman

There are also a few others that have been authenticated, but I am skeptical of, including:

Chance (Yellow)
Jennings (Portrait)

And there are credible rumors of:

Stanage
Schmidt

Man I'd love to see that Walsh. That's an incredible card.
