Anyone Else Collecting a 1987 Topps Autographed Set?

Also, Brian Downing has not signed anything for years (unless there is a private signing that I do not know about). So no surprise there.

Yes, Downing is definitely a toughie, as are a lot of the others I mentioned. And I realize 87T is collected by seemingly 4 out of every 5 collectors. Still, the prices being realized are orders of magnitude greater than pre-pandemic. $230+ for a personalized Joe Niekro, who wasn't a tough signature by any stretch. The Steve Lake that sold for over $50 looked like it was signed in pencil. I'm certainly not complaining or judging, but it's still pretty surprising to me.

I get it. But in autographed cards:

P = f {set, player, card quality, auto quality}

Some sets are collected way more than others.

Is what it is.

I went to the Night of Memories event in Evansville yesterday. I added Graig Nettles on a couple of items, including this one right here.

Wow great card and, more importantly, great auto!

[Topps206]

Thanks. It was nice to get this one.
