What autographed sets are you working on?

[Baseballcrazy62]

If there is a thread for this already I couldn’t find it. I know several of us are working on certain autographed sets along with certain players or themed events. I thought maybe if there is a central spot to post what we are working on/and or need maybe it might help us. For example I am working on a signed 1950 Bowman Baseball set 155/252, a 1964 Topps Stand-Up 15/77 and a 1953-54 Parkhurst Hockey 55/100 and an Al Kaline autograph run. Please feel free to post photos and want lists if that’s ok with Leon. I am sure many of us could help each other with our endeavors. I am really looking forward to see what gets posted.

Mike,

I haven’t been much of an autograph guy in the past, but relatively recently I started working on a Brooks Robinson autographed run of his regular issue cards signed in pen. I’m currently missing his Topps rookie (‘57), and ‘61 card. I really need to upgrade a couple as well, but the ones I have they’ll do for now. I also picked up a few subset cards of his as well, but not really focusing on those unless a nice example pops up. There’s a coupe of his ‘61 Topps available out there, but just not a nice example. I’ll likely do his cards signed in sharpie next once I complete this run (if I ever do).

Your Kaline autos are definitely an example for others to follow in their signed run objectives. Just a great collection of autographed cards!

1978 topps Yankees team set. I’m considering starting the 1990 leaf set.

1960 Fleer Baseball Greats (need Derringer, Baker), 1961 Fleer (need Altrock, Melillo, Baker/Wheat/Cobb, Cobb, Hafey), 1961 Scoops (need Cobb, Gaedel, Hodges, Aaron possibly others)
Willing to overpay for those I need

1952 topps


Thought about aysrtimg 48 leaf, but a few would be impossible

1953 Topps. I started five years ago this July. Still about 10 that I’ve never seen come up, but the PSA/DNA population report says they’re out there.

I don't have the patience to complete a full set of signed cards. At one time, I was trying to get as many 56T and 78T cards signed and still pick up singles if I think I need them. I do not have a checklist made up though.

I was chasing the Topps All Rookie Team trophy cards too, but that was nearly impossible to begin with (Munson being cost prohibitive, for one) and it just keeps getting worse with all the new, high end players making the teams and the trend for folks to no longer really get base Topps cards signed.

I also try to get as many Dodger cards as I can. This is ongoing, but I don't sweat non-completion of any given team set.

Lastly, I was trying to complete Mariner team sets from 1977 to about 1987. They seem to have had more than their fair share of obscure/tough guys that are hard to find or too expensive for my taste (Byron McLaughlin mostly, but Rick Anderson, Rod Craig and some others) so that collection sits unfinished as well.

Does anyone know for certain if Dave Collins refuses to sign his 1977 Topps card? I know it is not him, so maybe he is one of THOSE guys that won't sign it. I have seen one pop up at least once, but it was quite expensive. I think Collins may be a little elusive to begin with, but I have not been able to find this one at what I considered a reasonable price.
