Gino Cappelletti: Please post your graded or signed items
Hi folks,
At the suggestion of another member, I thought I'd start a thread with my best Gino Cappelletti items. I hope others will chime in and post any high grade, autographed, or just plain unique Gino items! I am the proud owner of the current #1 Cappelletti master set on the PSA registry, although there are still a couple of cards I'm trying to track down to complete it. Here are scans of most of my graded items: The '69 Glendale Stamp is an interesting one. I own the only 2 graded copies, this PSA 5 and a 4. I'm still looking for Gino's '64 Topps card in PSA 8, as well as his '69 Eskimo Pie card he shares with Dale Livingston. If you have either of those available, PLEASE let me know! Up next: some of my Gino autographs.... |

I think I have about 15 Cappelletti autographs, including his complete basic Topps run. I've met a lot of athletes, but he is undoubtedly the kindest, humblest and most outgoing athlete I have ever met. Here are some autos....
The signed Glendale has to be a 1 of a kind item and I'm happy to own it. The "first TD" items are customs made by a member on CU and he was thoughtful enough to send them TTM and then give them to me. Hope you enjoyed looking. Please post any Gino items you'd like to in this thread. Thanks! |

Great Gino cards! You've really covered your bases here and I checked out your PSA set registry.
I don't register a lot of sets but was surprised that the Eskimo Pie wasn't included in the definition of the Master Set. I guess like everything PSA does, they only put cards in there that will get people going on a PSA feeding frenzy! I just assumed that a Master Set means ALL the known cards of a player. jeff |

I checked out the PSA Registry too, nice cards. I don't know anything about Gino Cappelletti except what I just read on Wikipedia. How come he started out and played his early years in the Canadian Leagues? He seemed to post all pro statistics once he joined the AFL Patriots.

Blanda is a great example. He had already retired from the NFL as Halas told him he wasn't going to be the QB any longer and he got tired of just kicking for the Bears. All he did was lead the Houston Oilers to the first two AFL Championships and win the MVP! jeff |

Thanks for posting guys! I really like that Gino ephemera. In addition to what I've posted here I've got 3 or 4 variations of Gino coke and sprite bottle caps, an uncut sheet of the Glendale stamps, and I've got a football signed by Gino, his broadcasting partner Gil Santos, HOFer Andre Tippett (another player I collect heavily), HOFer Mike Haynes, Steve Grogan, Sam "Bam" Cunningham, and Ronnie Lippett.
Regarding the master set composite, if PSA has never graded an issue it isn't included in the composite when a set is originally created for th registry. Later, if you get that item graded, you can request to add it to the composite. PSA has never graded the Eskimo pie Gino, but I plan to eventually buy a raw copy, have it graded, and add it to the composite. |

Today was a huge day for my collection. For almost 2 years I've been looking for Gino's 64 Topps in PSA 8. I've passed on a couple that were badly tilted, so when 4SC listed this one I jumped on it. I overpaid by quite a bit, but happy I did. My Cappelletti master set is now 100% "complete." I hope to land the '69 Eskimo Pie card someday (maybe both versions), but this is still a personal milestone.
