Down to last few baddies. Always paying top dollar for the ones I don't have.

Just curious, does Ricky Wright sign other years cards?

Ricky Wright is a tough signer regardless, but I've seen a signed 1983 Fleer and signed 1986 Topps on eBay.

His signed 1983 Fleer is listed at $199.95, and his 1986 Topps is $499.95. So, if you collect either of those sets, you're in luck.

I went to Globe Life Park today for the White Sox and Rangers. I was able to get Daryl Boston, the first base coach for the White Sox, pregame.

I had a June 27 return from Don Aase, which was beautifully signed. I also had a June 28 return from Dann Bilardello, which was badly smudged, but a success is a success.

I have no idea when I sent this out. I forgot that I did, but today I received a return from Thad Bosley.

I am just making an educated guess here, but I have several Wright items on team themed things. Ball, paper sheet. I have his 83 Fleer as well and it was nowhere near $200, maybe not even 1/10th of that. I think he signed OK when he played or at least the early years. In fact, I just won a lot of singled hotel postcards with mostly Dodgers from around 1982 and one was his and they averaged $1 each ($20 delivered for 20 signed postcards) and also included Welch, Howe, Lasorda, Belanger, Garvey and others. They all look spot on and I am sure it was just someone hitting up players at the hotel they likely stayed at on road trips (Dodgers and Padres + Tony Pena), or maybe one of several on the rotation. These were Pittsburgh Hilton PCs.

I believe that he may have stopped signing in general and that lead everyone to believe that ALL of his signatures are worth a fortune, but that is not the case.

I have the Andujar posted in the B/S/T section along with 37 or so other cards.

I am a member of a facebook group called "Baseball Private Signings" and someone is talking about being close on getting Ricky Wright to do a private signing that supposedly includes any card. The early discussion has prices in the Dr. Mike Marshall range, but seems to be a lot of interest. Some of those 87T set collectors are real hardcore. At least Marshall had some longevity and accolades. Wright really did nothing in his brief career, but to each their own!

Anyway, if you need/want Wright, it might be worth joining the group and watching for it. The person who apparently is negotiating this possible appears to be a member and said details would be posted there if it happens.

I joined the group in hopes of seeing some cheaper, somewhat obscure guys I wouldn't mind having. Aside from buying a couple Jose Pena cards that were leftovers from a prior signing I had missed, I have never participated in any of the signings. I am simply a regular member, have no affiliation with the group or ties to any members. I am just sharing information that others might find useful.

I have a few Wrights on other items (ball, team sheet and 83 F) and being a Dodgers collector, I have 0 interest in a 1987 Topps signed by him, especially at $150-200!! I hope the guy lines it up though, sounds like it could be interesting.

I do not have a Facebook, so I wouldn’t be able to get details.

Jeff Lahti, Willie McGee and Pat Perry have all been added to PastPros.

That’s really awesome to have 789/792.

By the way, Garvey has been added to PastPros. I already have him, but does this mean his fee is higher now? I sent $5.00 to have my 1987 signed. Would he only sign through PastPros now and for the appropriate fees?

Be careful folks. Lock-em-up-bob just posted a Donnie Moore.
