Willie Mays
Will Clark
Steve Hovley
Frank Robinson
Charles O Finley

Who are Gonzalo Marquez and Tim Hovley you might ask? They are two of the toughest to find autographs of players who have played for the Oakland A's, which is pretty much all I collect any more. And still looking for those two.
Yeah, Marquez is getting tougher...seems like they've dried up. I was unaware that Hovley was tough, especially after being in the spotlight in the book Ball Four, but I guess he just doesn't like to sign...unless he's on a plumbing invoice.
