Thanks for the kind words David.
It was a regular old set that I started because I collected Lou Gehrig items. Somewhere along the ride, I got a few that were signed through the mail, but the passion started with the Pinky Higgins card. 1986, I think, in a show in Cincinatti. I paid $30 for it. I decided that day to go with signed cards from that point on. The process has progressed in 2 parts. First 25 or so from 1979-1992. Next 38 2002-present.
It's always exciting to find a new one.
Funny story about this card. I lost auctions for this card twice in the past 3yrs with bids over $200. I won this one for $28. As I learned from my father..."Be patient. If you see one, you'll likely likely see another." Not always true with some of the incredible stuff many people on the board collect, but works for most things.
