1960 Topps Yankee Autographs - Finally Finished!
Posted By: Jon Canfield
Well, tonight my journey came to an end. About 10 years ago (when I was 15), I decided to try and put together an autograph team set of the Yankees from with 1960 Topps issue. I pursued the team set in my spare time, acquiring unsigned cards, and then writing to living players, meeting them at shows, etc. I was also able to slowly acquire some of the keys to the set such as the coaches card and the elusive Duke Maas. Well, tonight, thanks to eBay, I finished the set, finally acquiring Ken Hunt. This is the first opportunity I have had to purchase a Ken Hunt since I started the set. While I consider the set complete without the Stengel manager card or the Mantle or Maris all star cards, I may pursue them anyway over time. (I do have the Skowron AS card.) |

Thanks for the comments guys. As for the missing cards, I know all three do exist. I was the underbidder on a Stengel PSA/DNA authenticated 1960 Topps in the last Mastro auction. Also, I have seen both the Mantle and Maris signed all star cards. In fact, I believe there is a PSA/DNA authenticated Maris on eBay now but the BIN is a little high. |

I really like that coach's card. Completed multi-signed vintage cards are always great to look at. |

Jodi, no hard feelings regarding the Maas and I do appreciate and respect your opinion. The Maas came from a very reputable source so I am comfortable with it. |

That was one of the funniest things I've heard all day. I do intend to cross all the cards over just for uniformity. However, I can assure you that the GAI slabs were from years ago. |
