I have another thread running in the B/S/T section with autographed HOF'er cards, so I'm adding this one with various stars of the day. From about 1978 to 1983 I used to write to players in a non-stop quest for autographs, sending out cards to a wide variety of teams. Overall, I did pretty well and have a bunch of autographed cards to trade.
Let me make this clear. All of these cards (except for a few Mets that aren't shown in the scans) were obtained through the mail (TTM). I don't have a single COA or anything of that nature, so I can't truly claim they're authentic. Of course, I got these at a time when autographs weren't such a cash crop business, so there was never a reason for me to doubt their validity.
To see all the scans of my autograph collection, see this section of my bucket: http://s1226.photobucket.com/albums/...aphed%20Cards/
I also have a ton of cards signed by ordinary players that aren't pictured. People like Merv Rettemund, Claudell Washington, Ed Kranepool, Lee May and on and on. If you're looking for someone in particular, LMK and I'll check to see if I have anything.
If you're interested in any of these, LMK what you have off of my need list and let's talk. I'll be happy to answer any questions. I'm not looking to sell anything, just trade.
If you have nothing off of my need list, I am also very interested in these:
• HOF'ers in nice shape from the 50's and 60's
• Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente & Mickey Mantle cards
• 1958 Topps HOF'ers
• Errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1966-67 Topps high number SP's
• T-206's
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1972 Topps FB high numbers (need these in exmt+ shape: 271 Warfield AP, 277 Eller AP, 304 Dale, 308 Morrall, 312 Marsalis, 336 Marshall, 341 Butkus)
• 1972-73 OPC Hockey starter set with stars and/or high numbers
• 1962 Topps 'green tints' graded 7, 8 and higher
• 1963 Fleer BB HOF'ers in exmt or better shape
