Trying to determine how rare signed 1968 ricardo Joseph is

[dukeman2685]

I know we have a bunch of set collectors in here so I am looking for your expertise. I just picked up a signed 1968 topps Ricardo Joseph in a collection and I really can't find any information about it. Either there rent that many that exist or I am just having a problem with my searching. Could anyone on the board help shine some light on this for me? Thanks in advance.

Very tough signed card. Not impossible but very tough. He only had ten years in which to sign it before he passed away in the Dominican at age 40. Usually when one sees his autograph it is from his years in the minors...he had many many years in the minors.

I was collecting the 68 set signed and one of the few cards I needed was the Joseph. I never saw one in the YEARS I was collecting that set so needless to say, yeah its rare! Congrats!

How about posting a scan of this card so we can all enjoy it?
