Awesome. I just started working on this myself!!!
|
Wow, that is great looking all together like that. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing those. Kaline is one of my favorite players too so it's even cooler for that reason.
|
You should endeavor to also get autographed cards of his variations, most notably a 1962 green tint (the scan is small, so you may already have that one) and the 1973 Band-Aid card.
|
I always loved his 55 Topps Card. So cool !!
|
I have a number of other Kaline’s ready to send in to SGC. I have the 62 & 64 Venezuelan’s, the Atlantic Oil, 71 Topps Super, 3 Exhibits and a couple of other McCarthy Postcards and a number of more recent Jersey/Bat cards already signed. Back in the early 70’s my Dad would pick up any Kalines he could find and put together a pretty nice collection ( really happy with the Kalines but wish he would bought up the Mantle’s). I still kid him about that!! It’s amazing how many cards Kaline has and it’s quite a challenge. Thanks for the positive comments!

Someone just purchased a raggedly cut but autographed 1962 Post Canadian Cereal Kaline (one of his tougher cards even without the autograph) for just $15.00 or so on ebay. I had been watching it, and decided after several days to pull the trigger despite the bad cut, but it had been sold. Anyone here get it and want to part with it for a profit?
Best wishes, Larry |
Kaline Signed run
Mike,
The Kaline autographed run is very cool BUT I can’t really see the cards that well in the two pictures you posted. Is there any way you could enlarge the pictures and/or take a shot of fewer cards, or even the individual cards? I started a Brooks Robinson signed run several months ago, of his regular issue cards, and am making slow progress. I’m trying to get them all in pen so it makes it a tad more challenging. I may do a sharpie autographed run once I’m complete (if that ever happens). Never was really into autographed cards in the past, but it’s growing on me. |
I will post them in smaller groups. I have some new ones to add as well. Give me a couple of days and I will try and post them this weekend. Also, I didn’t get the Canadian Post Cereal Kaline but wish I did.

Why don’t you just send the cards to Brooks and include the pen you want. He is so accommodating. I don’t see it being a problem to get him to do that. Not trying to blow up this thread. I talked to Mike about this run and I’m working on duplicating it. Love this stuff. Got back 61/62 Kalines today! |
Very Nice collection !!!

Kaline run
Mike,
That is a great looking collection! How long did you work on putting that together? Kris |

This is my only signed Kaline: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/play...ile.php?id=693 |
Been working on it off and on for about 30 years. I believe I have most of the regular 1954-75 Topps cards done (still need the 1955 Double Header). I never considered the team cards until I saw Marchillo’s post on his Brooks Robinson run. I am now working on some of the odd ball stuff (Kellogg’s/SSPC/Transogram/etc). I will post more cards as time permits.

I do not collect Kaline per se but if he is in a Topps set I mostly have him. I was going to scan the actual Plaq, but it really could be anybody

Al: those Kaline’s are incredible!!
|
I like it. I regret letting my 72 Topps go. I got it at a show in the early 90s. He was always signing everywhere. I’m not sure about now but that’s an impressive stash

Just received this back from SGC. I was surprised at the size of the holder. I will post a couple of other Kaline cards that are the same size but put in a much smaller holder.

How do you personally like the new SGC holders compared to the ones prior? By the pictures they look pretty nice to me. I’d personally have to get the Super posted earlier in the thread in just a tad bit smaller holder. That should go in the postcard size holder, correct? |
I like the holders. The only negative for me is I have probably close to 50 Kaline signatures in the old holders and these obviously don’t match for display purposes. As for the 71 Super I don’t know what the deal is with that holder. Not sure why they didn’t put it in the smaller one like the post cards. One of these days I will call and ask SGC. Overall I have no issues with SGC. They have treated me pretty well.

Picked these up the other day. Taking them to Cleveland in a couple of weeks to have authenticated and get the auto’s graded.
|
Awesome stuff...thanks for sharing. I'm kinda working on an SGC Killebrew base card auto run...have a few nice cards but not intense about it. Seeing these gives me an itch...lol. I too wasn't into autos but they are sure nice to own.
Do you think guys like Kaline and Brooks own any of their own cards? They get to see every nook and cranny card out there as they get requests, I would think human nature would be to collect my own cards. I know I certainly would!! haha... Again...thanks for sharing! |

Hi Mike,
Isn’t it correct that SGC isn’t going to authenticate autographs going forward? Are you going to start using PSA and/or BGS or some other company? |
Does Al Kaline sign through the mail or through a foundation or something? I'd love to send a card or two his way.
|
I will probably use PSA now. I started using SGC awhile back for signed cards that I planned on keeping for my personal collection because I liked the way they looked in holders. I know many people are using Beckett as well for their signed cards. In retrospect I probably should have had PSA handle the Kaline’s and I could have put them in the registry. I started collecting his signatures in 1974 and have continued it until now. Some of the newer stuff was signed in Lakeland and have also had some success TTM. My Dad was a big Kaline fan and he helped me along the way as well.

Wow. I just found this out. Finished my Kaline Base run yesterday and was gonna submit next show. Now I will have a mix. SGC has made some killer changes lately. Ugh. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5d05c96349.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can’t believe I missed the picture of your finished Kaline regular issue run. Looks awesome by the way. You acquired them so FAST! I’m still slowly working on my Brooksie regular issue signed run. I’ve bought a couple that I need to upgrade as well (I should have been more patient). Are you going to go for more on the Kaline cards like you did Brooks? I’m bummed about the SGC holders as well. I think the autograph cards look the best in those holders. Oh, well at least mine are a hodgepodge already. |
Quote:
Are you acquiring some duplicates as well for your collection? |
Mark: I dropped those off in Strongsville the last weekend in March right before SGC’s cut-off date. I am acquiring a few dups for the collection. A couple of the ones I just posted were OPC’s. How’s the Brooks Robinson collection coming along?
|
Quote:
The Brooks signed run is coming along steadily, but I guess slowly. For the base run I still need his rookie card, ‘61 Topps and definitely need an upgrade on a few cards including the ‘78 Topps. I’ve also been picking up other signed playing days Brooks cards as well, but really haven’t actively searched for them nor currently going for them all. I’ve been trying to concentrate on the quality of the autograph more then when I first started the run. I’m definitely having fun with the search and enjoy viewing the cards. |

Mike,
Unreal run there! Here is one of my Kalines that you don't see everyday. Great job! https://i152.photobucket.com/albums/...pswtjgjvbc.jpg |
So jealous. I have a PSA 1.5 that I am thinking of cracking out and bringing it to the National to have him sign it. Let me know if you ever want to sell the one you have.

That autographed Kaline run of yours is wonderful. It must have been such a labor of love. I’ve got only one Kaline, and it happens to be autographed. I’m assuming it’s real, but to be honest, I bought it because I’ve been looking for this particular oddball rookie for a while. 1954 All-Star Photo Pack Al Kaline.

It’s been a couple of months since I posted anything. Thanks to Whiteymet for the help in acquiring this 62 Post Canadian card of Kaline and I subsequently had Mr. Kaline sign it. I think this is one of the more difficult Kaline cards to track down. Real excited to add it to my collection.Attachment 371851
