I started working on the Monty Python Flying Circus card set autographed back in 1995. After 21 years I got all the important cards (and some very not important) cards signed in the set. The set is sometimes double sided so I got all the quality sides signed I could get. Totaled 111 different. Just got Terry Jones in person last week and ironically, the last card I finished; Nudge nudge, wink, wink, is probably my favorite card in the set. ended up with this total:
John Cleese - 27 cards
Michael Palin - 27 cards
Terry Jones - 23 cards
Eric Idle - 23 cards
Terry Gilliam - 17 cards
Carol Cleveland- 16 cards
Connie Booth - 1

Thanks for sharing! Awesome!!! I'm only 11 away from my 1961 Fleer Basketball signed PSA/DNA slabbed set so I know the feeling as you get closer!

Take care,

Mike

Were there any cards put out while Graham Chapman was still alive?

no, these came out 6 years after he died. i kick myself for not trying for Ian McNaughton though who was their director then. he died in 2002
