What projects are you working on completing?
Just for fun I thought it would be nice to talk a little bit about the projects we're working on. I wish I had photos, but I'm still working on completing two neat team / era focused baseballs.
The first is a Braves ball. I've got Glavine, Jones and Smoltz already. Now I'm trying to track down Maddux and Cox to finish it off. Neither of them seem to do any shows. The other ball I'm working on is a Core Four baseball. Years ago I was lucky enough to be at Yankees spring training and was able to get Jeter, Torre, Posada, and Rivera all in the same day on the same ball. Ever since I've been painfully ignored by Petitte and now he's retired so I'm waiting on him to do a show too. On the positive side, I have paid $0 on the ball so far. *caveat. In my infinite wisdom earlier that day I got Jason Giambi to also sign the baseball before I knew I'd get the others. So unfortunately my core four ball will also feature Giambi.

For Maddux and Cox you can try Bob Presley Sports in Marietta, GA. Bob has been promoting shows in the Atlanta area for over 20 years, and also has a store. He has great connections with past and present Braves players, and still does shows and occasional private signings.
He would be my first choice for those items. You could also try Creative Sports Enterprises in Palm Harbor, FL. He does a lot of nationally popular retired and current players. Lastly Radtke Sports in Buford , GA. He also does a lot of private signings with past and current Braves. Hope this helps.

My main project that I have been working on for several years (started around 1990 but then took 10+ year break on it while in college) is a signed 1957 baseball set. So far I have 314 out of the 407 cards signed. Of the 314, 182 are deceased. I have 51 different Hall of Fame signed cards (including two Ford Frick winners). The only two HOFers that I am missing are Clemente and Campanella. Back in the early 1990's Campanella was signing with the assistance of a machine, anyway I sent my card into the show to get signed ($250 I believe was the fee) but unfortunately he passed away right before the signing. Most of the team cards are signed by a Hall of Famer, Stan Musial and Harmon Killebrew didn't have cards in the set so I got them on their team cards as example.
I also just started a 1995 Mariner piece. Only have Griffey, Buhner and Wilson on it thus a long way to go.

Maddux is an exclusive with Lojo Sports (http://www.lojosports.com). Here is their prices from their last signing with him on 6/28
Cards - $125 Balls / Flats up to 16x20 - $160 Flats over 16x20 / caps, cleats, gloves - $225 Jerseys - $275 Inscriptions - $50 I send some USA Baseball items in to get signed at a show in Chicago in 1988, anyway the promoter screwed up and didn't get my items signed and sent me a bunch of extra stuff from that show to make up for it...one of the items he sent me was a signed 1987 Fleer Update signed by Greg Maddox. Ended up on the positive on that deal.
