Amazing! Will you finish the set with unsigned at some point if it looks like you've hit a wall? And are there any that seem pretty unlikely given an early demise of the player?

Maybe? I actually put together a PSA graded 2 set a few years back but sold it to buy more signed ones that I needed.
I have two small children, so I doubt I ever try for any of the 4 signed Ruth's or 2 signed Gehrig cards. I think I can probably get maybe 10 more... I'm in it for the long haul and I'm fairly young. ![]() Last edited by martyesullivan; 03-13-2022 at 03:39 PM. Reason: TYPO |

Hopefully you get those and who knows what the future holds regarding the Ruth cards

Good luck with your project, and I’ll be sure to pick up a copy of the book when it comes out.

Jeff and Scott, thank you. I appreciate the kind words.
Hank, sure, there are lots of great stories, that’s why I’m writing the book. 😊 There are 4 cards that no one I’ve ever talked to has seen signed copies of: Fred Brickell, Pete Scott, Russell Rollings, and Dan Howley. That said, it is rumored that a guy named Pat Quinn from Illinois had a complete signed set in the late 1970’s. His Lajoie was the only known signed example and it’s now in the collection of the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. I hope that story is true, and I sure hope signed copies of those four cards show up one day. As for guys that died early, these are the first three deaths in the set: Earl Clark died in 1938, Heathcote died in 1939, and Welch died in 1940; I have all three of those signed…fortunately. I have several signed cards from the set that are the only known example. |

I believe Pat's son is on the boards under Quinnsryche (sp). I might have made that up though.

Hank,
Thanks, I'll reach out to Kevin Keating. I would love to get a few good stories about Pat Quinn. Ted, I'll reach out to his son too. Small world! Thanks for the suggestion! My best, Marty S. |

![]() Although, sometimes I pause before admitting that. ![]() ![]() ![]() I'll ask him if it's true or not. I know at one point he had at least a half dozen Ruths and Gehrigs and kept one of each that hung framed on the wall for at least 20 years before he sold them. Sometimes it's hard to take the salesman out of the collector/store owner. I'll post what I find out soon.
