Living Players with Pre-War HOF RCs
I've started getting into the idea of collecting Vintage HOF RCs that are somewhat affordable. I'd really like to try a few guys through the mail, although at their age now I just don't know if they would sign. Plus, sending a RC through the mail is a lot riskier than some reprint.
Here are a few I thought of off the top of my head who are still living. I decided to include a few 1940's/1950's guys as well. Pre-War: *1938 Goudey Heads Up Bobby Doerr 40's/50's guys: 1948 Bowman Yogi Berra 1948 Bowman Red Schoendienst 1951 Bowman Monte Irvin 1951 Bowman Willie Mays *1951 Bowman Whitey Ford 1954 Topps Al Kaline 1954 Topps Ernie Banks 1954 Topps Hank Aaron 1954 Topps Tom Lasorda 1955 Topps Sandy Koufax 1956 Topps Luis Aparicio 1957 Topps Bill Mazeroski 1957 Topps Brooks Robinson 1957 Topps Frank Robinson *1957 Topps Jim Bunning *1957 Topps Whitey Herzog 1958 Topps Orlando Cepeda *1959 Topps Bob Gibson The players with an asterisk (*) are cards I still need if anyone has one for sale (lower end/cheaper preferred as I will likely lose it in the mail if I send for their signatures that way)! Does anyone know the signing habits of any of these guys through the mail (and an address)? Are there websites that consolidate upcoming signings (private signings or shows) you can send cards to for signing? Thanks for any info! Mark

When I was doing autographs 15 years ago Bobby Doerr would sign everything you sent him for free, super nice guy. Ernie Banks, Brooks Robinson and Al Kaline all had charities where you donated like $15-30 for a signature. I'm not aware of the other guys signing through the mail back then. And obviously a lot of time has passed.

Thanks guys!
I got Doerr through the mail, too, long ago. Just not sure if he still signes aat his old age now. I hate to lose a pretty big card like that in the mail. Does anybody know a site where they still list addresses of players?
