I think I have seen 3 or 4 signed Braun cards, this is one of them (and probably the nicest). Braun did not really sign after he retired. He frequently signed stuff during his playing days but nothing after. So he is pretty easy to find on vintage Knick items and period signed Celtics programs from 61-62. Just had no interest in signing post-playing, many tried. He should not have even been in this set. Bill Sharman retired because he did not want to be drafted in the expansion draft and Sharman ended up being a player/coach on the LA Jets of the ABL (and I think he was even sued by the Celtics). So Braun ended up in this set (in theory Sanders, Loscutoff would have been better choices). Braun ends up in the 48 Bowman, 57 Topps and 61 Fleer and is hard to find in all 3.
Dukes was also very tough to find. Had some bad luck in life, got in trouble for practicing law without a license, etc.
