Athletes who won�t signs specific card

"This isn’t technically a “won’t sign” but Howard Bailey always blacks-out Marty Castillo’s eyes on the ‘82 Topps Tigers Future Stars card they share apparently in protest over Castillo’s domestic violence issues. One of the more interesting TTM quirks I have noticed."

Not really sure that's the reason. It might be more innocent in nature. Castillo is known as The Grinch for his striking resemblance to the Dr. Seuss character. Blacking out the eyes just makes him look even more like the cartoon. Also of interest is that Howie has toned down the Grinching of the eyes a bit as of late.

Also, Dave Rucker won't sign that card anymore, as it's not him pictured.

If anyone wants that Crown Hank Foiles card signed, he is signing it for the very first time here:

$75 to sign but as he is 92, this might be the only time to get it.

(Note: I have no affiliation with either the dealer or this signing, aside from sending in cards).

Foiles has signed the card before. I'm not sure how many times, but can confirm at least one card signed in person for a friend.

Anyhow, the fellow doing the upcoming signing is trustworthy and reliable, in case anyone is interested.

The guy who did the Foiles signing is a good friend of mine. He did get the Crown card signed and has the five extras below available. If anyone needs this tough card for their Crown or All-Time Orioles collections, feel free to message me and I can get you in contact with him.
