Projects?

[bbcard1]

I have a couple. I had a negro league bat, but have both run out of room and just about living negro leaguers.

The best is an old baseball encyclopedia I hall around. I have never paid anyone to sign it and very few (including Aaron, Musial, etc) have refused. They know I am not out to resell it. I probably have 200 or so...for newer players, I just have them sign at the top of the page where their entry would appear. Been doing it for 15 years or better...I remember handing it to a college coach who had had a cup or coffee with the Angles and he said,"My, that's a big ass book."

Currently working on autographs of the first 5 inductees on an affordable and framable medium. I was able to secure my 4th last week (Honus Wagner), but am going to have to save a few bucks before I pickup number 5!

Well lets see. Here are a few of my projects over time. As you can see I have a tendency to reach for the unobtainium....

1970s and 1980s:

- Every Hall of Famer
- Every MLB player in the BB Encyclopedia

1990s

- 1990 Leaf signed set
- 1992 Fleer Ultra Signed set
- 1992-93 Upper Deck Hockey signed set

2000s

- one nice item from select superstars of various sports.

Every one was a fail, though I'm only about 50 short on the UD Hockey set.

As my career, for what it is/was never really got rolling, my income never kept up with my collecting desires, so for a while I just gave up on all of these.

Now, I pretty much limit myself to:

- Autographs of every Oakland Athletics player from 1968 until they eventually move (at least one game played) & selected memorabilia from the 1972-74 teams.

- Autographs and memorabilia of the Oakland/California Seals NHL team (1968-76).

Moose, if you need Terry Murray for your Golden Seals collection, PM me as I will see him in December and would be happy to get some items signed for you.

My projects that I've been on & off with for a while are:

1) HOF Baseball 160/300 thus far

2) HOF Football 225/281 thus far

3) A set of mini versions of all the various helmets worn
by every NFL, AAFC and post 1960 AFL team with at least one
autograph from a player that played on that particular team/year.
Impossible to complete since I started a bit too late and some years
have no living player.
Just getting the helmets is a Royal Pain
