Football name
Not hijacking the thread but I can throw a fairly tough football in the mix, Shane Curry on his 1991 Pro Set update. Shortly after the card was issued he was fatally shot in an off season altercation. His card came out in the mid to late season, so the window for signing wasn't open very long.

No hijack at all…I'm interested in seeing what tough signed cards are in all sports. I'll throw in a hockey one here.
In the 1960s and 1970s hockey players were about the easiest IP autographs of all. I'm serious that just about ALL the players were obtainable, time and circumstances permitting. However there was a guy who played for the St Louis Blues named Bob Gassoff. Mostly noted as an "enforcer" he was killed in a motorcycle accident shortly after the 1976-77 season. Gassoff was an A-1 absolute d**k about signing autographs, at least when the Blues were in town to play the Seals. I was not able to obtain his autograph even once, and one time I was the ONLY one getting Blues autographs after the game. He only has three cards but I imagine there are few signed 1976-77 OPC cards out there.

If I recall Aurelio Rodriguez wouldn't sign his 1969 Topps card since it is a picture of Angels batboy Leonard Garcia.
There are a few of those signed by Garcia, but I heard he stopped doing that too. This is all third and fourth-hand, so if anyone knows for sure, please chime in.

Does anyone have a signed 1971 Topps card of Gil Hodges? Did 1972 Topps come out after he passed?
