Best decisions/biggest regrets as autograph collectors?

I believe Dave Cameron told me that story, but inserted himself as the person who went to the home.

Yes, it IS our job to know. This is the compelling argument for people starting a signed set. The information is priceless.


Any reason why there is NO signed 1952 topps Throneberry? Some recent late in life signatures on other items have come up, but.nobody has ever seen a signed 1952 topps. I realize it's a High number, but COME ON MAN! I don't believe one doesn't exist.

Now, Al Benton or Milt Stock may not. My 2 guesses on the impossible cards.

Stock was a non-signer later in life; he also had somebody occasionally ghosting his TTMs, likely the wife. He was Eddie Stanky's father in law, BTW.

Still, Stock was more responsive TTM in the early-mid 1950's, so you'd think there might be a couple copies of that card around. There has to be.

Benton was also a responsive signer, but it's always felt like what you see dates from even prior to 1952. He appears mostly on team items like album pages. Stock didn't seem to sign as much team-related stuff when he was coaching.

So it has to be true. Likely about as true as "Cameron" being his real last name.

Didn't even know it wasn't. He was always nice to me, and willing to talk autos, even if they were fiction
