I passed on one, even though it had a, get this, 'non-malicious secretarial' Campanella. It was the closest I've ever seen. Also, it has been in my radar to find signed for 20+ years!

Worng thread, sorry.

Here are some pics of two I got in the mail today!!

I see that leaders cards would be signed, I assume by the players pictured, but who would sign the checklist card? If it's any player listed on the card, then don't you need to get a card signed by every player in oder to have a complete set?

Ultimately, I'm just asking for pictures of your new pickups, instead of a list of what you are picking up. If that comes across as high and mighty, well sorry.

Any player on the card can sign a checklist. Same for Leaders if pictured.

Much as I'd love to provide pictorial proof, it's complicated.

I'm not looking for "proof", I believe you, I just like seeing pictures of stuff when people get things. If you can't, then you can't, not that big of a deal.

When I collected Topps cards, I considered a complete set to include all variations (black & red backs for the 1952 lo numbers, as an example).

Using similar logic, if I collected autographed sets (which I don't) I would consider a checklist to be a card that didn't need to be signed, because it doesn't have a picture. IF I was going to get a player listed on the card to sign it, then my complete-ist nature would cause me to need a card signed by EACH player listed, which obviously would get cumbersome (to say the least).

For cards that have a deceased player, I would consider them as cards that don't need to be signed to have a "complete" set, but getting somebody related to sign it would be a bonus.

But I could be wrong, there are no "rules", I understand that,

I spent 14 hours stuck at a truckstop in Rock Springs, Wyoming a couple days ago, when I-80 was closed in both directions, the view was crap.

I guess we just have our own personal rules. I have my own.

#1 Get the player to sign their base card.

#2 At least one person depicted must sign a Leaders card.

#3 One player on the checklist must sign it.

#4 Deceased players do count in helping me toward my set. While I will not obsess over them, they are important and would have my sights set for a decent price.

So maybe to you personally that criteria wouldn't work if you did a set. With my criteria, that's how I have the number I do.

Two new ones in the mail today!!!

It's now 267.
