April Pick Ups

[RichardSimon]

I don't use the word rare lightly but this one is rare.
1957 Topps with vintage signature.

Just picked this up in the BST!

Started a fun, and fairly inexpensive project of the 1969 Seattle Pilots. Love those goofballs that were made famous in the book Ball Four. Anyway, thanks to our own 1treasuretrove, I was able to start off with I believe to be one of the harder ones...Fred Velazquez. Probably impossible to get a Miguel Fuentes as he came up late in the 1969 season and then was murdered in the off season, and probably very hard to get a Steve Hovley since he simply refuses to sign...but I'll make a run at it.

I posted this one of the card side, too. But it belongs over here as well -- and I can't stop looking at it, so it will help me to see it in both pickup threads!

Damn, that's a beautiful Cicotte. Isn't that a T201? Wonder why they didn't list that on the label?

Blue Flips now only list the autographed subject; not the card itself

Thanks guys. I’ll have it crossed over to SGC at some point so it’ll fit right in with my other signed T201s. Something about the clean black sig on the lemon yellow background makes this one pop out to me. I just love it when an autograph can do that to a card — make it seem like all the ones without the signature were printed wrong!
