This is neither a beautifully centered card, nor one with a signature in bold sharpie, but I think the story behind this one is cool...I sent this out TTM when I was in 8th grade in 1982 and got it back when I was a sophomore in college six years later. Jim even paid for the extra stamps on my SASE, since the rates had gone up in six years.

Great post. Love that story! Awesome that you still have it.
I'm just going to go in chronological order from my collection.....
Here is a 1953 Topps Red Schoendienst......You know you've been collecting a while when you can spell Schoendienst without looking....and without thinking about it!

Love the start!
I usually focus on Topps Cardinals, but I have a few Bowman. This one is probably my best Bowman Cardinals auto.
Here is a 1949 Bowman Stan Musial.

Love the Musial and Gibson!

Love those multi-signed cards. I have some that I will post at a later time. I am going to post in year order from my collection.
Here is a 1952 Topps Red Schoendienst.

Love the 64 giants..
And just to prove I don't discriminate against non-Dodgers:
I think it's actually been a while since I picked up a vintage HOF auto. I may have a few tucked away though.

Have to get a Ryan in here..

One of my favorites. I always thought that Harmon's autograph was one of the nicest looking.

Pulled from a Wal-Mart blaster.
I don’t collect autos too much but great thread and I love the one card per post rule. Should be widely adopted!

I had a 1964 Topps Giants Mickey Mantle just like that probably 15 years ago. Nice card.
