Didn't know if there was anything ongoing here so I thought I would start one.

A recent addition to my 1952 Topps set effort.

I only have one signed 52 Topps card, Ray, and it's hard to believe (imo) that no one scooped it up before I did?

It's a somewhat popular card but maybe it's the pencil signature, or maybe it's nothing at all, but I'm glad I won it.
(Thought I took a scan of the flip? It's also a PSA authenticated card)

Nice cards Ray & Irv. Unlike collecting the regular '52 Topps - the signed versions have their own perceived rarities. I am starting to realize how difficult it is to collect the majority of a signed '52 set.

Is there a price guide for signed versions? This would yield some clue as to the rarities.

The best way to gauge rarity with signed52T starts with the DOD. (Date of Death). The further back our cardboard heroes DOD goes the lesser likelihood that they would have signed a lot of original 52T cards (Reprints aside).
Those individuals from this set who died in the last 20 years and are a part of the low number grouping are reasonably easy to get as the hobby for signed cards has exploded. Mind you they are still not cheap and will carry a premium over most ungraded cards (condition considered).
HOF'ers are another matter. Most are pricey.
Lastly; high numbers are really tough. Their original scarcity combined with the fact that most collectors of this set balk on buying them to try and get them signed has left the marketplace thin on available examples.
All this added to the fact that most players are now deceased, makes this venture a very challenging one.
There is a great article on this subject in a recent PSA SMR Magazine.
Here's a little more eye candy:


Lastly; this thread was meant to provide a space for recent signed acquisitions from any vintage set. Please feel free to share anything at all.

Neither, but had a car accident in 1958 and people might not have wanted his post-accident signature on a high numbered 52

So Campy, as far as you can tell, never signed any prior to his accident?

Never heard of one, though you'd think he was so popular there must be some

One would think there must be, but maybe that wasn't his thing?

I hope you find one some day, as well as all the others you need.

Good luck.
