Hi Ken, sounds like a great custom project you're putting together...will look forward to seeing it sometime! Adding "cut signatures" to Perez-Steele cards that were impossible to be signed by the player has long been a thing. (Lots of examples on eBay and elsewhere) While I can appreciate that method of having these cards "signed," I've just always considered a signed set complete when all of the cards that were possible to be signed at the set's release have been signed by the player on the card.

I have seen those. One difference is that I usually see pretty ragged cuts in most of those, though I saw a relatively nice Ashburn Great Moments that tempted me because of how neat the cut was.

The three you need lend the selves to neat cuts because relatively cheap autos are available. I am happy to show you some of mine, but would need to email.

Kevin, very nice signatures on a good looking set. I had started that set back in the day, but never finished it. Still lacking Campy, Ted, Jocko and Sewall.

Don't know why I never got a Sewell as he was easy TTM back in the day. I'm thinking that I didn't start the set until later in 1990, after he had passed.

Thanks for sharing, good to see all those together.

Thanks to a very generous gift from a fellow member of another site where I had also posted my signed set, I was able to upgrade my only black sharpie signed card! I updated the photos above with the new addition of card #6 - Yogi Berra. Now all my set cards are signed in matching blue sharpie, and they look amazing. A huge "Thank You" to Don M!
