Haven't posted anything in awhile because it's been pretty dead. But along with some signings at the store I work at I just sent out some basketball cards to get signed and they are already coming back.
Enjoy!

    Very nice Brian.

    Which ones did you get in person?

    All of the football autos. I work at a store in Milwaukee so we get in a lot of retired and current Packers. Tomorrow(Friday) we have Fuzzy Thurston and Santana Dotson coming in for a signing.

    Beautiful stuff.

    Antonio Freeman made a lot of people around here (he played collecge ball at Va Tech, right down the road) very proud during his run with The Pack. He and Brooks were a deadly combo of targets for Brett.

    I love the various Super Bowl retrospective cards that Pro Set always featured. I also love that Marv and Ron both mention how many rings they ended up with image

    And I really love both the 75-6 Basketball set and those two uniform designs. The Cav's one has always been (along with the similar Syracuse look of a few years later) the epitome of '70's funky cool and those Pacers unis aren't far behind. Their color scheme and design lent itself to that swoop a lot better than the Capitol Bullets or the Maravich-era Hawks.

    The '75 basketball set was and still is my favorite. I can remember being a little kid and grouping the cards by team and then putting rubber bands around them! image
    I just started working on a PSA set so we will see how it goes.

    I actually asked them to add that. The sad thing was the turnout for Kramer was not big at all. I think those early 60's Packer teams aren't as sexy as SB 1 and II so people forget just how great they were.
    And Freeman was very cool. He said the thing he missed the most was the structure that playing pro football brought to his life. It was a routine that he now doesn't need to follow and that's what can lead to trouble in one's personal life.

    The Nate Thurmond card in that set is classic and the Don Nelson is cool, too. Nellie looks like he's in the middle of a riot, or a Frazetta painting.

    Very nice autos. That's a pretty sweet deal you've got going there where the signers come to you!

    One of the perks of working there.

    That's from the 1976-77 White Hen Pantry/Coca Cola Milwaukee Bucks playing card set.
    Very tough set to find. I just submitted 40 cards from the deck to be graded and what wasn't grade worthy I held onto for autographs.

    Downtown Freddie Brown and the only guy who could give Darnell Hillman a run for Best Afro In The ABA, the criminally underrated James Silas.

    The cool thing with the Silas was the card I sent him got badly smeared after he signed it so he was nice enough to sign one of his Topps '52 Style cards and send it back as well.

    BWF- ever get any of the packers from the '57 set in your store? Starr, Hornung, John Henry Johnson (wasn't he a packer for a time?), dave hanner, etc? there are a handful of other packers in the set. lmk,

    By the way, that Gilbert Brown is the coolest thing I've ever seen, he was my favorite defensive packer during their 90s/00 run, that wildcard game in SF when he threw jeff garcia into the dirt and his chinstrap went up over his nose and eyes, was pure amazing raw power!

    We have had Hornung in a couple of times but I believe he was the only one from that team.

    I actually made that myself. I'm more for collecting auto's on cards and not 8 x 10's so when I couldn't find a card I decided to come up with that. I thought it looked pretty cool with the other teams names on the headstones.

    That's a sweet Garner auto image

    I love the porn-stash that he's sporting too image
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    After having a long dry spell I sent out a bunch and the results have gotten me jazzed about collecting again. Always nice to see these guys show they still appreciate the fans. Coby Dietrick actually put a post-it on the top loader and thanked me for the interest!
  • GDM67GDM67 Posts: 2,526 ✭✭✭✭
    Looking back on it, I'm pretty sure Coby was the first Spur I ever saw on a card. The one from that year, to be specific.
