Will anyone but a precious few know who he is and want one of his signed cards? Beats me, but I am not going to worry too much about it.
And, bringing this around to the opening topic, when I sent my 1963 Fleer Koufax in for a signing in 2015 the fee was $350. It felt like a kingly sum to me. 9 years later, it is almost four times that.

Jeff- I agree with someone like say Oscar Melillo who is in the 1961 set or Bobo Newsom in both that no one will ever have heard of him. On a 3x5 they may go for next to nothing but in that set they will always be worth alot as that is a great set to collect and they are some of the toughest in there
