Greg, you might want to call about the Touchdown cards that were submitted. They still havent posted a shipping date. So you might be able to get those corrected.

Thanks for all the work. I think I still owe you some $ though. Sorry about that. I will check the emails you sent and pay up today.

I'm looking for the following autographs if anyone can help.

Turk Edwards
Steve Owen
Link Lyman
Jimmy Conzelman
Arnie Herber
George Allen
Greasy Neale

Please let me know if you have autographed cards (on a gum card or legendary cuts) of any of the players above.

Regards,

Greg M.

Hi guys, love this topic. While working on my 2004 Legends Autos and 2005 AA auto sets, thought I'd add my HOFers to this set. Not nearly as impressive as your older autos and TTM autos but its fun anyway. I have a 40 card submission in right now and a small PSA/ DNA submission on the way.

In Murfreesboro there is a card show every 1st and 3rd Saturday. One dealer has tons of TTM autos that he has been collecting for 20+ years. He has his own COA and guarantees a full refund if PSA rejects them. Thinking about picking up a few and submitting them, but wanted your opinions.

Thanks in advance
Kurt

Kurt,

Welcome to the madness. I think that TTM autos are a great source for building the HOF auto set. I have picked up at least 30 cards for my set that were obtained TTM by myself or 2 different sellers.

Please let me know if there are any auto's that you're looking for. Also, several of us on this thread pool together and submit a large order at a reduced rate. Let me know if you're interested in submitting along w/ our next order.

Regards,

Greg M.

I've just updated my set w/ scans. I'm at nearly 58% with another batch that should be graded tomorrow at which point I'll be in the high 80%'s.

I'm looking for a Sam Huff auto(preferably on older stock)

JasP24

Greg, love the scans!

Keep up the good work, I want to see all these autos..lol

Fabfrank

Congrats Greg. I just got back about 10 cards from PSA that I need to update and add pics. When our group submission comes in I should be over 60%. I've also slowly started becoming more discriminating when choosing which cards to include in the set. My ultimate criteria is to get the highest graded card, with the nicest photo and a hand signed sig. Sticker sigs are okay (like the Adderley in my set), but only as a place holder.

gregm13

Grades just posted - not too bad except for the 5 that weren't authenticated. I wonder what's wrong w/ the 1993 Proline Live Troy Aikman auto!!! It's a certified auto....is Aikman known for using a ghost signer?

I think I remember reading that Rozelle was using the autopen the last 4 or 5 years he was alive. I got mine in the early 70s and in person, I know it's good. I'd give it up but it's in a Packers yearbook, wouldn't do you any good.

Hey Greg, just wondering what happens with the 5 questionable cards. Do you get vouchers or do you just take the loss on the grading fees for these. Awesome submission anyway.

Kurt,

I have to eat the grading costs - which really burns me. Did you ever received my e-mail? I never heard back from you?

gregm13

Currently at 82.98% complete and should soon be over 85%. Now I have to find the autographs again that weren't authenticated on this past order!!!

Regards,

Greg M.

gregm13

Updated with scans of approximatly 1/2 the cards from the past order. I'm still working feverishly to finish scanning and posting to the sets. Also, I'm temporarily in 2nd place in the 1997 UD Legends auto set (until Frank updates his set - at which point he will leave me in his dust).

Regards,

Greg M.

Fabfrank

I was going to give you cr%p when I saw you updated your set, but without the scans. Glad to see the scans going up and I'm looking foward to seeing some of the other cards you've added.

gregm13

All the scans are up - enjoy!

Regards,

Greg M.

tkd7

Greg-

Great collection! Nice scans! I noticed that at least one is an upgrade. How do you decide what you will upgrade. Grades on auto cards seems like a bit of a crapshoot.

Tom

Fabfrank

Greg- you've done a great job in building this set in such a short time. Do you remember which auto's were TTM? Also, the Topps Archives auto's look really nice. Are they from packs or TTM?

Frank,

I've updated my set to list where I obtained the autographs. I finally broke the 85% completion mark and should have another 3 to add within the next month or two (Payton, Rozelle and R. White). The remaining are going to be tough. I have a ton of feelers out but nothing yet.

BTW, nice job on the 1997 Legends set. You have a great start!!

Regards,

Greg M.

Fabfrank

Thanks Greg. Ironically, I've been trying to add about 20 cards to the registry set for over 1 week and they still won't accept them.
I have to call PSA to see what's up, but it's annoyingto type in 20 cert #'s 3X and still not get validated.

gregm13

Frank,

Just send an e-mail to Gayle. I had the same problem on a previous order and she added them for me.

Regards,

Greg M.

Fabfrank

I'll try that. I was contacted by Lorena Molfino. The flips say "1997 U.D. Legends" and she is stating that since I'm trying to register these cards in the "1997 U.D. Legends AUTOGRAPH" set that they belong to another set. All my other previous cards went in without hassle, plus these say PSA/DNA on the cert, so they have to be autographed. It's just a little frustrating and time consuming.

jradke4

I think the set registry people really need someone that has real "card" experience helping them. I think that they dont know much about cards makes it very hard for them to understand what peole are telling them about their cards. It also dosent help that PSA has problems keeping the labels straight in more ways than one.

These just popped. Line 12 concerns me as this is a Wellington Mara auto on a Giants team card but Mara's not in the description line. Should I be concerned or just wait for the cards to arrive and see whats on the flip? Any input from you guys would be appreciated. Thanks Kurt

Whatever is on the line in your sub, in this case "New York Giants" is what is on the flip. With the exception of "N/A" of course.

You may have a problem adding it initially, but it will send an email to Gayle or Cosetta and you should hear back. Once you've convinced them it's a Mara auto, perhaps you can get it added to the list of valid certs. I would also put in your description that it's Wellington Mara's autograph when you add the item.

Hope that helps.

This will be my next endeavor once some of my bigger key-card fb sets are completed.

mr300bowl

Thanks Envoy, At first I was worried because only one card said PSA/DNA, the Simpson, so I pulled up Gregs #1 set and checked a few cards from his last submission against the pictures he added. Even though it doesn't say PSA/DNA on the e-mail, it is on the card. I feel alot better. I also purchased an extra Elway from Greg this week thats already graded and I think I might move up to 4th once I get the cards and add them to my registry. Again thanks for all the help you guys have provided. Kurt

Kurt,

As long as Mara is pictured on the card, you can add it to the set. Is he on the card?

Regards,

Greg M.

mr300bowl

Greg, it is one of those cards that shows the whole team from a distance and gives the last names by row. I think in Row 2 at the end it said Mara, administator and he was the last man in that row. If that counts, I should be OK. If not, so be it. I do know I won't be sending in anymore team cards due to this.

Kurt,

I think you should be ok - let me know if they accept it for the set. I'm trying to find a George Allen auto'd card and I've heard that he only appeared on team cards.

Kurt:
Any chance of selling the 1971 Topps Game Larry Wilson card?

Just added all but the Mara card to my registry. I'll take your advice and send a scan of the card to Cosetta or BJ and see if they get get this to add also. I'm gonna keep the Wilson card, something pretty cool about the way the game cards look even when off-centered. Will try to add the scans this week. Thanks again.

Kurt

Kurt,

Congrats on your set. It seems that you have moved past me. I quess I better get ready to send another sub off to HQ.

Jay

mr300bowl

Thanks, Jay. I have a dozen or so to send in also. Hey Greg, I was looking at your set to see what cards you are needing and I noticed the Wellington Mara you have looks like it added into the Tim Mara slot and the Welington Mara is showing as still needed. Didn't know if you were aware of this or not. Kurt

gregm13

I just picked up two more toughies this weekend - George Allen and Dan Reeves. To be honest, I didn't think a Dan Reeves card existed!! After these additions, I have 209 of 235 and still need:

Bert Bell
Charles Bidwell
Joe Carr
Guy Chamberlin
Jimmy Conzelman
Al Davis
Paddy Driscoll
Turk Edwards
Len Ford
Joe Guyon
Wilbur Pete Henry
Arnie Herber
Bill Hewitt
Henry Jordan
Walt Kiesling
Curly Lambeau
Sid Luckman
Link Lyman
Tim Mara
George Preston Marshall
Earle "Greasy" Neale
Steve Owen
Fritz Pollard
Hugh "Shorty" Ray
Jim Thorpe
George Trafton

Greg,

You have amassed an awesome set. I was looking at it today. Its great that most of the us at the top have scans of our cards. I have to scan the ones that we traded to complete my set. I have a bunch more that I have to send in to be graded. Some PSA/DNA others just regular submissions.

Fabfrank

Great news Greg. Where did you get the Reeves from?

gregm13

I actually saw the George Allen first and then looked at the seller's other auctions and noticed the Reeves. I e-mailed him and we worked out a deal. He provided a reference and I checked it out (someone I know...thank god) before I bought the cards. The Reeves cost me $1k and the Allen $250 (ouch...).

Regards,

Greg M.

That's great. Do you have a scan to post. When are we going to do another group submission?

jradke4

I am ready when for a group sub anytime.

gregm13

Hopefully soon. I'm a little short on cash. How about late Nov/early Dec? We should see if Kurt is interested.

Why is Reeves so expensive?

He's alive, and he appeared on manufacturer certified autos (I have one) as well as having lots of trading cards (including Pro Set).

Nick,

Common mistake (confusing current coach Dan Reeves for HOF inductee Dan Reeves) - the Dan Reeves I was referring to owned the Rams from 1946 until he died in 1971. His bio is below.
