Anyone Else Collecting a 1987 Topps Autographed Set?

[Topps206]

Does anybody collect other sets? Just curious. I do Pacific Legends, 1962 and 1965 Topps as well as 1991 Leaf.

I am doing a 57 set

I have worked on a 1969 topps, 1976 topps and a 2015 heritage minors but gave up and sold them. I am currently working on the 1974 topps set and traded and am down to 180ish cards left. I am thinking about starting the 1986 topps set as I have nearly 150 of those without really trying yet. If anyone wants to help with my 74 set, I can send you the needs list and I have many 86's to trade with.

1990 Leaf currently at 522 out of 600.

1990 Leaf is a beautiful set. Is that the set that Kelly Gruber refuses to sign his card for ???

I've read Gruber doesn't do 1990 Leaf.

I have more than 100 combined of the 1988/1989 Pacific Legends cards.

I currently have 98 signed cards from the 1965 set.

1962 is around 60 or 70 signed cards. Give or take, I have about 60 signed 1991 Leaf.

To a lesser extent I'm also doing the 1972 Topps set. I have roughly 45 of those signed.

So I have multiple projects I'm doing. Some sets I'm taking more seriously than others.

After a couple months, George Frazier came in today.

Yes, it's a project that will never get completed, but that's the story of my life anyway

I figure that Gruber, Bonds, Albert Belle, and Mel Hall will probably be the ones that keep me from ever finishing the set.

I did a mail order for a show. Two of my three envelopes came back. For some reason the other didn't come back today.

It was the Phillies show in Pennsylvania. I added Danny Jackson on my smaller 1991 Leaf project and also got Steve Jeltz on his 1987 Topps.

It looks like Frank White is signing his mail again, as evidenced by him signing both his base card and Royals Leaders for me.

I don't right now but have been considering the 1988 Score set.

I'm 1/3 of a card away from completing that set and the 110-card update. I need Tony Fernandez on the 3-player card he shares with Ripken and Trammell.

That's awesome! How long did it take? What was your process? TTM? In-person? eBay? Did you get them all yourself or begin with a "starter pack"? (I'm in the process of purchasing about 50 to get things rolling.) How do you store them? Binders or sleeves?

So many questions, but that's pretty cool you're about done!

Is anyone doing a mail order for the upcoming Hofstra show in a couple weeks? NyShows.org is your source. It can help the 1987 project or any other set you're doing from that era.

[Topps206]

I did a mail order signing with Oil Can Boyd. It came back today.
