Toughest signed cards possible

I have one and I never thought of it as rare. I looked on ebay and there is a slabbed one for $35.

Looks like a pretty good signature too

Then I stand corrected. I just figured that since there was only about 18 months between the release of the set and Mize's passing, they would be hard to come by. I'll take my lumps on this one.

Has anyone ever seen a 1952 topps (Hi#) or a 1953 topps Les Fusselman card signed? I have been looking for a signed Fusselman card for years!

I met Ricky Wright right after the 1987 season. He had come to Oklahoma to play in a charity golf tournament. My friend & I had his 86 topps traded & 87 topps cards. We asked hi for his autograph & he signed our 86 topps traded cards but politely refused to sign the 8 topps cards. He told us he had signed a few ( I think it was 10 or 12 cards) for his hometown little league program to auction off to raise money to purchase new lights for the fields. He said the cards he had signed for his hometown little league program will be the only ones he would ever sign & promised them he would never sign that card again for anyone so they would be able to use that to help sell them for a premium price!

Roger will sign the diamond kings cards now at card show signings. My friend paid $199 at a show to get his signed to comply his set just a couple years ago.

Does anyone know if a 1986 Topps TBTC Roger Maris exists? I only collect the auto's from when they played, but I'd make an exception for this.
