Seems like Ricky Wright may be the new Mike Marshall. Maybe Ricky will cave when people finally offer him a few hundred dollars for his sig.

Howser was around in Spring Training of 1987 so those cards signed, while still tough to find, aren't as rare as you'd expect.
Some of the tougher cards are the aforementioned Ricky Wright and Terry Forster, along with a few Latin guys who played very briefly after the set was issued. Juan Espino is tough, Al Pulido even tougher. Roy Lee Jackson is also hard to find as he was out of baseball when the card was issued and for a long time (maybe still) was unresponsive TTM. Randy Myers was actually a very willing signer early in his career, which is good for 87T collectors as that was his rookie. He was flaky though, and would only sign current year cards, and dated them all with M/Y. In 1988 he started just signing the number for the month (4 for April for example), I guess because he figured the year was implied due to his self-imposed rules. When he was traded to the Reds, his policy became current year, current TEAM cards only. Now that he's retired, I've heard he signs all years of cards again, but still dates them. I believe at his last paid signing there were certain teams he would not sign. I think it was Orioles cards he wouldn't sign but I don't recall exactly. He is VERY infrequent with his appearances though (usually just FanFests) and does not sign TTM. From the Traded set, Alan Wiggins is very difficult, as he was a tough in-person signer to begin with and died of AIDS in 1989. He was out of baseball and living a somewhat transient lifestyle by the time that card was issued. Last edited by dgo71; 02-23-2015 at 05:34 PM. |

Forgot about old Mel Hall. Yeah, he's in for life if I'm not mistaken, and he was never overly easy to begin with. I can see his cards carrying a decent price tag for set collectors. Moore died in 1989 and was kind of a surly signer the last couple years after never really getting over the 1986 AL Playoff game that he blew. I think the price of his card is simply from the popularity of the set, his other cards are usually more reasonable, unless it's a late issue 1988 or 1989 card. I actually have an in-person Pulido that I would be willing to part with. I have a friend whose wife is from Mexico, and he travels there 2-3 times a year for baseball events and games. He went to a Mexican MLB Alumni event a month or two ago that a ton of former MLB players attended and got me a couple of Pulido's 87T signed, along with some other guys who have been MIA for years. If you're interested, PM me with your email address and I can send you a scan. |

Thanks. I meant if you had a mexico connection, perhaps there was a chance to get him in the future. I believe Munoz is still quite active down there with baseball. I tried to reach him through a Facebook group, but received no reply. I saw a blogger collector got him through the mail a while back and sounded like he was really a nice guy, but not sure if there are any current addresses floating around for him. Need him for the dodger auto project and the only 2 on ebay in the last 6-12 months are from the same seller and it's a 3x5 for $30 (OBO) and a really cool, but expensive custom for $99 (OBO). I want him, but not at those prices!!
I don't have any cards for him, but he does have a minor league card. If I knew I had a chance to get his signature, I'd track down the card. Probably should get the card anyway. Last edited by mrmopar; 02-28-2015 at 10:47 PM. |
