Topps Player Autograph Runs
I have found that while trying to get as many different Dodger autographs on cards as possible, I end up with near completion on certain years. 1978 Topps is a great example, although I have actively tried to complete that set purposefully, as it is one of my favorites (my first pack opening year of collecting). Sadly, I am still one player short, as Ed Goodson doesn't seen to like to sign much at all, let alone his 78T. In fact, I am short on team completion in many of the individual years for one or more common reasons, such as SPs, High Numbers, elusive signers or superstar players. Unless you are prepared to spend a fair amount of money, completing full Dodger team sets (even LA) will certainly be a challenge.
Another area that I find myself at near or full completion is a certain players cards and it is fun to see the progression of that players career in cards. Claude Osteen is a good example of a player who seems to sign readily, yet he had a long career and has many cards to collect, but it makes for a nice display when you get them all. Completing his run is easy and inexpensive. Completing a run for Sandy Koufax on the other hand would prove quite expensive, although it is not hard to do.
Does anyone have any interesting signed player runs that are scanned and ready to share, especially any that run a good amount of time (10+ years)?
