I thought I'd resurrect this thread with my newest addition from the recent special, a PSA-DNA 1993 Topps Steve Olin auto. I purchased this raw a year ago for $15 and knew I was taking a chance on its authenticity. As you know, he (along with Tim Crews) was killed in March 1993 making this quite a rare card and I thought $15 was probably too good to be true.
I remember another '93 Topps Olin auto sold over a year ago but if someone would be kind enough to give me a pop report that would be great. I'd also be curious if a Tim Crews auto exists from 1993.
These cards are NOT mine, but hopefully someday I'll own some of them in my HOF signed rookie card collection. If I had gotten my start a few years earlier, I definitely would have picked up one of the Cobb's at auction.

I started working on this venture at the 2004 National in Cleveland... so it's been almost exactly a 5 year labor of love!
The attempt to get every living signature for the eTopps Classic Football set.
I had a friend get the Dan Fouts for me at the CSA Show in Chantilly almost two weeks ago and should be in my mail any day now. Also have another friend getting me the Phil Simms at the National next weekend... Only 2 to go!

What a fantastic set. I just looked through all of the. Congrats on a fantastic project. Were all the #'d ones signed through the eTopps autograph program before you received them?

The #'d ones came through three sources...
1) The first attempt at eTopps supported autographs, which were done at the 2004 National, in a (what ended up to be a nightmare mess) joint effort by employees at Topps, eTopps members running the eTopps booth at the National and TracerCode, the autograph promoter at the National at that time.
2) The eTopps autograph partner site, www.eCardAutographs.com... which as it was, I owned and operated
3) Another third party website, www.e-SportsAutographs.com (The Blanda and Bednarik) came from them
All the rest were either direct from eTopps through their aftermarket program or cards I just had signed at various shows myself (or by a trusted friend)

What set is that Marvin Miller from? I'd like to get one for my signed rookie collection.

This was given to me by a board member whom I had sent a bunch of Topps Heritage - it's actually a numbered to 10 (10/10) card so there's a base version of it - from the 2005 Topps Fan Favorites set.
