I didn't get the final two cards yet in the mail, but I just finished a small collecting goal by getting a signed Topps card for all ten years that Al Oliver was on the Pirates(1969-78 Topps). It originally started because Oliver was signing at a card show back in 1986 and I bought three Pirates cards for him to sign. Then he was signing at PNC about five years ago and I had him sign two more cards, so I ended up getting the final five cards since then.

The strange thing, which was not done on purpose, is that the five cards he signed were all in black sharpie. The other five are in blue sharpie. Didn't realize it until I bought the last card earlier this week.

Here is a scan, obviously all the ones I got in person. I also have a handful of his rookies, not a bad card with Richie Hebner also on it
