			Yeah, and there are boards further down the page named "Post 1980" to ask questions like these.
 Back when I was collecting in the 90s, some of the companies had autographed cards numbered to 7750.  Now it's just parallels of 1, 5, 15, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 500, and unnumbered.  Probably still adds up to less than the old 7750 per card.  Minor leaguers don't make a lot of money, unless they got big signing bonuses.  So they might make $20K during the season in A-ball.  If Topps is going to pay them $3000 or $8000 to sign their name a few thousand times, do you think they'll turn it down?
