Anyone Else Collecting a 1987 Topps Autographed Set?

Except Tony Armas is doing a show in New York this week though he's from Venezuela. Certainly 1987 players who live in other countries can be brought in like Armas did and those who live here can always do a show. You never know when.

Are you saying that because Tony Armas is doing a signing that Espino, Lugo, Pulido, etc. should not be considered tough? I'm just asking because I'm not sure I understand the point you're trying to make.

I see Andy Allanson's name on both the 87 and 89 lists. What makes him so tough?

Just my opinion, but from my experiences with him he didn't like signing. I got him once in about 6 attempts, and from what I know, unless something changed, he's unresponsive TTM. I don't know that I'd put him in the Ricky Wright-tough category but I wouldn't call him easy.

All I'm saying is it's possible that if Armas could come to the States for a show, so could the others.

Two of the best signers, both from the 1984 Cubs. Awesome.

I had seen a success before of Ron Guidry at the Yankees Spring Training address. So I gave it a shot and my card came back signed today.
