June Autograph Pick-Ups

I would add Frank Robinson to the card. There will always be a greater market for a multi card signed by both, especially with set collectors. Just to give one example, one of my favorite signed cards is my 1968 topps card multi card signed by Mays, Mantle and Killebrew. There was a guy selling one on ebay with just Mantle and Mays at a price that I think was at least $200-$300 less than he would be asking and might be getting if he had added Killebrew, who obviously would have cost less than that. At the same time, i think that as a single Roger Maris card, it is worth less than a similar Maris signed single player card. If someone wants Maris just to have Maris, an individual card is probably more pleasing to the eye. i would vote for getting it signed by Robinson

Carl,
Interesting... I can see your point as well.

I like this dialogue so I made a thread with a poll here: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=152708

I'm curious what you guys think but I don't want to get OT on the pickup thread. :0

Just picked this up. Guys who hit 4 home runs in a game. I already had a ball signed by most of them, but this one included two deceased players, Pat Seerey and Joe Adcock. Just needs Carlos Delgado and Josh Hamilton. It's not an MLB ball and there is a panel that has some white out on it i discovered, but I still think it's cool.

My first TTM auto. Steve was one of my first baseball heros (along with Dale Murphy) when I was a kid.

Just got this in the mail yesterday, a real beater (the raw one, PSA slab now) to finally be with his long lost brother

Thanks Frank!
