autographed topps set/run?

For the 87t guys, what did you do about Ricky Wright?


I've heard he's never signed one

Not Topps, but someone has a 76 Hostess signed set on Ebay.

Looked for Ricky Wright since 1987 and finally found one about a year ago. It was the last card I needed to complete the set.

Cheers on finishing the set! Any set is not without its complications. I'm still searching for signed 52s and even the huge lots that come up, I only need one or two

Certainly nothing along the lines of a signed set but a few years ago I started working on getting one or two pages of signed cards from each set from 1952 on up.

I just add the pages at the back of each binder, kind of adds some touch with the game for each season?

Hi all....I know someone who wishes to remain anonymous that has a full 52 topps (407) set autographed....he built it in the early-mid 50s with help from his dad when he was a kid. he lived in nj and one of the equip managers for the yankees lived on his block, so his dad was able to arrange quite a few autographs from yankees and visiting ballplayers. it is an amazing collection and under the radar / off the grid.

That's amazing! I'm not saying your guy is lying but many players were no longer on the teams after the 51 season. There are a few I'd pay money just to see. Its comforting in the fact that it might actually be possible. There are a few very advanced collectors who claim it is not possible, and I'd love the personal satisfaction of just knowing they are wrong. No use arguing, just sit back and agree

What would this set go for at auction? $500k?

For the 87 topps set, why is Ricky Wright not willing to sign? Just curious if there was a particular reason.

Sweet Jesus, that's impressive!
