DAvid, funny, you mention the Ryan/Koosman card. I used to buy them all the time in the early 80s as Koosman grew up a few miles from my mother. I managed to get Ryan to sign one of the cards at a Phillies game when I was living in Philly in 1982. I later got Koosman to sign the card. The card was a blazer, but when I went to sell it, none was willing to pay anywhere near the price of what an uncsigned card would go for. Both sigs were nice a crisp in ball point pen with no skips in the ink. The only other card I ever got signed was a horrible looking MP&Co Feller I got free and Feller was signing for free, so I figured why not.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
