I'd like to add signed Topps cards from Koufax, Willie Mays, Roger Maris and Frank Robinson.

You really should have higher expectations for 2014

. +1 on the Branch Rickey for me. I've waited too too long to acquire his signature. I'd also like to pick up Chuck Klein, Larry Lajoie, and maybe a Ruth if I do well enough on eBay sales over the summer.

Make my day...

I'd love to find any of these guys in 2014:

Autographs of Federal League no-hit pitchers Frank Allen and Arthur David (Davie) Davenport. BTW, has anyone ever seen sigs to either of these guys?
At the very least, I would love to find an exemplar. Other no-hit pitchers that I would like to find signatures of include: Jay Hughes (1898 Baltimore), Red Donahue (1898 Phillies), Walter Thornton (1898 Chicago Bridegrooms), Weldon Henley (1905 Philadelphia A's), Johnny Lush, (1906 Phillies) and Thomas L. Hughes (Salida Tom) 1916 Boston Braves,

Mordecai Brown (growing tired of being the high or second under-bidder)

Maybe a Ruth ball, but those don't come to market often

I will second the Alex Cartwright, maybe throw in a Cap Anson. If I were smart, I would save up all year and buy myself a Christy Mathewson for Christmas 2014...

Probably a couple of what I would call the "semi expensive" autos like Lajoie and Jackie. Something that displays nicely. Also would like to pick up some of the more recent inductees. And, of course, as a Cleveland Indians fan, would love a chance to acquire a Joss. I'd also like to win Mega Millions, too, so I could afford it.

Any HOF not in my collection yet

. But hoping for my birthday I can treat myself to a 3x5 or cut of someone in that $300-500 range. Looking at a guy like Frank Baker or Satchel Paige.

I would like to find a dual signed baseball by only Juan Marichal and Warren Spahn. I know there are many balls out there where both have signed along with others (like HOF, '65 Giants, and all-star balls), but I want one where only they both signed the sweetspot (if possible).

. . . Detroit Tigers ballplayers on my want list (at a price I deem reasonable).

2013 was an outstanding year for my collection as I successfully added five autographs from my want list. Given the obscurity of most of the names on that list (or infrequency of the not-so-obscure), even crossing off one wanted autograph during the course of a calendar year is reason to celebrate.

Just a small sampling of some the names I still need (these have more recent deceased-dates):

died Name (nickname)
----- -----------------------
1962 Dowd, Raymond (Snook)
1963 DeFate, Clyde (Tony)
1963 Hankins, Donald
1965 Fuller, Frank
1970 Hall, Herbert Silas
1976 Hennessey, Lester J.
1979 Glaser, Norman Matt
1960 McCreery, Edward (Esley)
1961 Loudell, Arthur (Baldy)
1963 Lorenzen, Adolph
1964 McDermott, Frank
1965 Huber, Clarence
1965 Kocher, Brad
1966 Morrisette, William
1968 Lelivelt, Wm. John (Bill)
1960 Wheeler, Edward W.
1963 Wiggs, James

Buy a Spahn SS ball and add Marichal. Done deal!

Yeah, I've been trying to do that, but I haven't seen too many shows where Marichal was signing in my area (southern Cali). When I googled him a few times in the past, I can't find any shows where he is even signing at.

Marichal is one of the most prolific signers these days. He's always at the National, so he should be in Cleveland this year. If you don't get it signed before the National, I might be willing to help you with that.
