I'm up to 215. I got Tommy John back from a signing, plus Andre Thornton and Dave Kingman were returns today.
|

I received a Roy Smalley return today. So now it's 216.
|

It's 217 with a private signing mail order return from Von Hayes.

218 from Storm Davis today.

Good start to February. Benny Distefano and Bryan Clutterbuck make it 220.

I had a failure from Lasorda today. I'm disappointed.
|
#62
|
||||
|
||||
Well, I can at least enjoy today's successes as opposed to yesterday's failures. Neil Allen and Rich Yett came in. It's 222 now.
|

Am I the only one who would love to see scans of these?

Weird. They can upload on Blowout. I can just link you the pictures from there.

I got a personalized from Paul Zuvella today and I got Steve Balboni on Saturday, though that was bent.
|

|

Wow. So I sent in a mail order for the St. Louis Show this weekend for a couple of players and Jorge Orta won't be attending. It looks like he has cancelled appearances before. Something has happened with his new agent and cut off contact, now he might've left the country.
I don't know the situation, but I'm disappointed. Anybody else have trouble with Orta before? |

Got Sandberg and Rick Anderson today.
|
#72
|
||||
|

Great returns thus far. I'm concentrating on the 83' set and sent out about 100 in Nov/Dec. I need to get back on it. I saw you recieved a return from Balboni, I got a RTS that he moved in Dec. Guess it was a bad address.

I'm at 229 with Rick Schu and Dave Schmidt.

I got a return from Carl Willis and bought a signed Ken Howell card for $2.00. So now it's 231.

I see Dennis McKinnon is doing a signing this month and his 1986 Topps card, which he is notorious for not signing, is available for signature at $35.00, though higher than a ticket for other items.
Maybe there's hope for us who want Ricky Wright after all. |
#77
|

|

I was able to get Rich Bordi on his base card last year and got him a second time today, this time for the Orioles Leaders card.
|

I got Billy Hatcher today c/o the Reds Spring Training.

Ricky Wright
Has anyone seen the 1987 Topps Ricky Wright card just listed on Ebay? Zero feedback
http://www.ebay.com/itm/201527837483...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT |
#80

|

While anything's possible, I'm going to guess it's a fake. Winning bidder better send to JSA.
|
#81
|
||||
|
||||
I'm debating with others over the Wright. Meanwhile, Sid Bream signed his base card as well as the Pirates Leaders for me, putting me at 235.
|
#82
|
|||
|
|||
I am guessing that if that Wright was real the bidding would be greater.
|
#83
|
||||
|
||||
It looks a lot like a PSA slab I saw.
|
#84
|
||||
|
||||
The listing is gone. It must be a fake.
|
#85

More for the set today.
Terry Kennedy signed his base card and Padres Leaders. Plus I got Randy Niemann on his base card. |

Make it 239. John Tudor came in today.
|
#88
|

|

Wow. Seven returns today. Six are from the 1987 set.
John Stefero (Also signed a checklist) Floyd Rayford Luis Salazar Bob Horner (From a show in St. Louis) Sammy Stewart (From a show in New York) Ricky Horton (X2) Now I'm at 245/792. |

Also would it be wise to send some from like 89 Donruss or Fleer since the checklists may be similar and some guys will sign multiples. I have not worked on any larger sets. I have been working on a 1976 Wonder Bread Football set and I need just a few more signatures to finish it up. |

There are quite a few deceased and HOF players but most are relatively inexpensive. The toughest/most expensive HOFer in the set would probably be Randy Johnson, unless you also decide to work on the Traded set which includes Ken Griffey Jr. The tougher guys are going to be the commons that disappeared after their careers, especially those players from foreign countries like the Dominican, Mexico, etc.
Here's a quick run down of the guys that might be challenging and/or costly to acquire: HOFers- Randy Johnson Hank Aaron TBTC (he's very pricey these days) Gary Carter (has 3 cards in the set (base, All-Star, highlights), and he did not sign cards made after 1984 for free, so anyone who obtained these cards probably did so for their own private collection, which limits the amount that would be available to the public now.) Kirby Puckett (probably not hard to find per se but may be more expensive than you'd first think since his death was sudden and unexpected) Deceased players- Tim Crews Pascual Perez Frank Williams Bo Diaz (passed in Venezuela in 1990, would be very hard to find) Carmen Castillo (he hated signing) Toughies- Fred Manrique Hipolito Pena Jim Traber Mel Hall Andy Allanson Johnny Paredes Mike Diaz German Jimenez Jose Cecena Stan Jefferson Carlos Quintana Candy Sierra German Gonzalez Wil Tejada Barry Bonds (even though he's involved in the game again, he's super tough) Hope that helps.

Claudell Washington is not tough to get. He signs for $10.00 via PastPros.
I got Glenn Hubbard on my Braves Leaders today and special thanks to someone who got Bert Blyleven and Tim Laudner for me at TwinsFest, along with Neil Allen and Roy Smalley again. 248/792. |
#94

True. I forgot about those guys.
|
#95

|

It's now 249 with a Roger Mason return.
|
#96
|
||||
|
||||
I got Mark Salas back c/o White Sox Spring Training and also Kurt Stillwell for 251.
Both would be good for the person who's collecting the 1989 set. |
