Toughest signed cards possible

Am open to trading the Adenhart

Thought of another, the 1995 UD Diamond Debut Steve Rodriguez. Rodriguez had cups of coffee with Boston and Detroit. In the late 90's I saw him with Toledo and he would not sign that card, stating he signed one for his mother and that was the only one he'd ever sign. Fast forward to just last year, with Team USA, and Rodriguez was still sticking to that policy.

Very interesting...would love to (I can guess) know his reasoning....I really don't remember him playing for the Sox.

What do you want for it? I would be interested.

[daywalker2029]

i've been searching for an 86 topps kelvin chapman for a long time now to complete my 86 topps auto set (there is one on ebay for $400 - which is far more than i paid to get the entire rest of the set so i wont be buying that)

also a 69 topps gil hodges - not too many of those around either

I'd imagine an Ellis Kinder signed anything would be difficult, as he left school in sixth grade and could barely write his own name, then he died relatively young.

Had no idea about Kinder, his writing doesnt look too bad. He is notoriously difficult

[sycks22]

Boggs won't sign…. well he'll sign anything I mean

1987 topps terry Forster is a tough one to find also for some reason it's hard to find a 1981 topps traded Fernando Valenzuela and I have never seen a 1955 topps Jackie Robinson signed either.

Glad to see you do.

I would say his handwriting is not terrible if he did indeed leave school after 6th grade...




For Red Sox players, Kinder and Vern Stephens (already mentioned) are very tough....Tony Conigliaro is fairly tough to come by even though he passed less than 30 years ago. I would imagine the toughest Red Sox (50's onward) to get would be Harry Agganis, who died in his second professional season in 55' from a pulmonary embolism. PSA's website shows 1 out there...


When I saw the title I thought of a couple guys who died during their career, Lyman Bostock and Walt Bond. Bostock seems to have a handful on eBay so he's not as rare as I'd expect. Other toughies I'd imagine are: Danny Frisella, Herman Hill, Ken Hubbs, Mike Miley, Bob Moose, Chico Ruiz, Jim Umbricht, Don Wilson, etc...

Wow, I knew he was rare, but $400? I actually got that signed card (and a signed 1985 Donruss as well) in a lot I bought on eBay years ago.

I'd like to see a Willard Herschberger. I have a signed snapshot, but I've never seen a signed '39 or '40 Play Ball.

Would like to see a complete signed 1957 Dodgers' Sluggers (Furillo/Hodges/Campenalla/Snider) card.

My holy grail! I've seen one, but the campy was secretarial

How bout a 63 Topps fully signed Bucs Blasters? Does it exist?
