1946 to Present MLB Debut Auto Project - Need Help with 3

[stat192]

I am trying to collect an autograph of every MLB baseball player and manager who has debuted since 1946 to present. I only need 3 autographs to complete this project. They are

1948 Dan Lynch (Pirates / Cubs )
1949-50 Eddie Albrecht (Browns )
1955 Wenceslao Gonzales (Senators )

Looking for single signed item or team signed item. Will pay top dollar. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

12/13/12 update - I was able get these last 3 in 2012 and now have every auto from 1946 to 2012

That sounds like a hugh project...and you only have 3 left? Well done. I looked around briefly this morning at all the places I go to, and nothing. Given the small amount of time they played and their passing prior to the autograph craze in the mid to late 80's, I'd say they're gonna be tough.

How did you go about amassing such a huge collection?

Within the next month I have almost 5,000 index cards and GPCs coming in from original collections that began in the late 1960's so I could have something coming in.

What a monumental feat (minus three)! I am embarqing on a project of my own...an example of every player who has played even a single game for the Pirates from 1900 to present.

I will let you know if anything comes in.

Thanks for the responses. Yes I am down to those 3 from 1946 to present. Of course every day there is someone new who debuts in 2012 that I have to locate. The majority are on 3x5s but at this point I will take them on anything. It has taking me about 13 years, but it has been fun learning the stories behind the players such as Eddie Gaedel and Dick Wantz I know this site has a lot of advanced collectors, so I figured I would give it a shot. Thanks for reading.

I know this is an older thread, but I joined the forum just to respond to this and another thread. If you or anyone else does come across anything for Dan Lynch related to his time with the Pirates, Cubs, or minor league play, I am very interested in buying. He was my grandfather, and I am trying to find something, anything with or without his signature to give as a gift for my dad, Dan Lynch III. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Unfortunately nothing exists in the family related to my grandfather's time in baseball.

I was actually able to pick up lynch on a 1948 Chicago cubs team signed ball. I have another post with a picture of the ball.

I also have an original picture of lynch from the sporting news that I will gladly give you. Please send me your mailing address.

Merry Christmas
