Gino Cappelletti: Please post your graded or signed items

[DBesse27]

Today was a huge day for my collection. For almost 2 years I've been looking for Gino's 64 Topps in PSA 8. I've passed on a couple that were badly tilted, so when 4SC listed this one I jumped on it. I overpaid by quite a bit, but happy I did. My Cappelletti master set is now 100% "complete." I hope to land the '69 Eskimo Pie card someday (maybe both versions), but this is still a personal milestone.

Congrats on the completion!

Congrats!

Congrats! Great pickup.

Thanks. I didn't point this out when I posted my signed copy, and probably Jeff and some of the rest of you already knew this, but the 64 Gino is a UER (misspelled name on front).

Does Gino charge for TTM autographs?

[DBesse27]

No, he doesn't charge, but I've still paid him a small amount out of appreciation.

Big addition today! I completed Gino's signed Topps run and now that I landed this signed 62F RC, all I have left to complete the signed basic set is his 63F 2nd year card. A nice copy will be sent TTM tomorrow. Here is the RC:

Gene & other AFL stars, should be in the Hall Of Fame?I don:t get the PSA graded 1968 stamp card that is singled out from the rest ,even getting close to that grade,they didn"t come out of the packs, like that! And if that's ok ,what about the L.Bird/Magic cards year, do the get graded if apart from each other?Way to much double standards that are not keep for all cards in all fields!Robert,

Yes, I do believe there are some AFL stars who are deserving HOFers but have been overlooked. When you say "1968 stamp card," I assume you mean the 1969 Topps 4-in-1 single? I agree it's a little lame to grade both the single and the panel, which is why I wasn't going to buy both, but the single was a Christmas gift from a collector friend a couple years ago and I'm happy to have it.

Dan, you were correct!I have a ton of the Bird/magic card years, that i took apart ase a kid,but don"t see much on them,unless still in tact?Rob
