    This is a first. This is my first replacement of one of my cut signatures. Here is an "on card" 2006 Topps Update #UH198 WS Game 1 Anthony Reyes. This one comes from a reputable collector over at SCN.

    The new total is 2,416.

    This one is unique. I THOUGHT I had every Cardinals card and player autographed from 1952 - 2002 Topps. I discovered that I had overlooked one signature. I have a 1982 Topps Cardinals team leaders autographed by Keith Hernandez. This card also features Bob Forsch, but I didn't have one with his signature. I have been looking and can't find one as of yet, so I went the cut signature route. I took a paper scorecard with his signature from Ebay and made a cut signature. This will work until I find an on card version. NOW, the run is complete!

    The new total is 2,417.

    Man, Forsch passed way too young. Guy was as dependable as anything the Cards.

    I have not had one of these in a long time. This PSA/DNA authentic one is a replacement for a non authenticated one I have had for years. The price was reasonable. Anytime I have one where the player passed away decades ago, I want to be extra sure, even if I am confident in my original one (which I am). So, when they become available with reputable authentication, if the price is right, I try to go for it. Such is the case with this one. This is a 1958 Topps Phil Paine. Phil Paine passed away back in 1978 at the young age of 47 from a brain tumor.

    My original card will go in my duplicates album.

    The total remains the same at 2,417.
