+1 And he was a prolific signer. There must be hundreds of signed copies avail. At 99, if you were to get one to him to sign, the sig would likely be very shaky and not as visually appealing as an earlier signed card. Consider also, at 99, he may not be physically able to sign, so always a chance that what you get back may be a forgery signed by a family member. He is not a top tier HOFer, like MM, so buying a graded version won't set you back hugely.
