1948 Leaf George Connor >>
Nice pickup Reese - of course I was watching that auction My Connor is also pretty rough (yours is in better shape), however it is a tough card to find - which I still don't understand why. The card isn't a short print and Connor was a great signer until he died in 2003. The cards get tougher and tougher to find as your want list dwindles down.

I have two new additions that I would like to share:
Signed 1972 Rayfield Wright that I had signed TTM through his foundation for a $20 donation:
The signature isn't the best, however he has a somewhat sloppy signature. I had a rc signed several years back and it was terribly smeared. I ended up selling it for less than the price of the card (which isn't cheap!).
My other addition was Fred Biletnikoff which a SCN board member had signed for me at the Sun Times show. It turned out great.
The only other cards that I have outstanding are Steve Young and Marshall Faulk - obth if which will be signed later this month.
Please post scans of your rookie cards from the HOF class of 2012! I'll post mine soon...

I'm getting ready to send off an order to PSA/DNA which included the Len Ford, Ernie Nevers, Jack Christiansen, Paul Brown, and a number of other HOF RCs and signed cards from 1948-1955 Bowman sets.
For the Ford, any chance it would pull a grade higher than a 2 or 3 or should I just go with the "authentic" grade?

I'd always go with a number, even if it's only a 1. I've found many times when I sell duplicates that if it's "authentic" people want to beat you down over whether it's modified, altered, trimmed, etc. They don't seem to understand that a lot of autograph collectors just get them graded "authentic" by choice, not because there are defects.

The Pihos and Turner rookie cards are short prints in the Bowman set (all numbers divisible by 3) and are thus more valuable than their Leaf rookie cards - which are both low numbers (in the 1948 Leaf set cards 50 to 98 are considered short printed and are very expensive).

I finally added another card last week - a signed 1995 SP Curtis Martin. I was going to get a rookie card signed at an upcoming show - but I found this one on E-Bay for $75 dlvd - which was reasonable when compared to his show signing fee.
I also purchased a 1952 Bowman Small Tom Fears - which cost me only $20 after using my E-Bay Bucks.
My other big purchase was a card that I have been searching for for the better part of the past two years - a signed 1961 Fleer Don Meredith. Although Meredith isn't a HOF candidate, he was a star of his era and went on to enjoy a successful broadcasting career. I'll post a scan when I receive the card.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Do you know if any of the 1935 Chicle cards exist, Greg? I haven't seen any for any of the players in the entire set of National Chicle on ebay or elsewhere. There also aren't any in the pop reports, at least for red flips. NFL HOF rookie autos have been doing really well lately, at least some of the prices I've been following lately have been very strong.
I've personally seen a signed 1935 Chicle Dutch Clark and I know someone who claims to have 3 signed 35 Chicles - Turk Edwards, Dutch Clark (a different one than the one I saw) and Clarke Hinkle. I have no doubt that all of the cards that I need are possible - although there may only be a handful in existence.

For once, I am speechless.....I'm without speech. Today, a long time dealer contacted me about 4 cards that I needed for my set - and offered me a fantastic price that we agreed to. So, without further delay - I have added signed rookie cards of Leo Nomellini, Buck Buchanan, Em Tunnell and Bob Hayes. I don't have a scan of the Hayes - but will scan all 4 when I receive them later this week. I'm now down to 16 and hopefully 15 after I get my Deion Sanders signed next month at the Houston show.

Jay Radke and I traded my 1992 Pro Line Al Davis for his 1990 Pro Set Al Davis (thank you Jay!) plus I bought a 2011 Panini signed Ed Sabol from Justin who unfortanately is selling off his collection.

The next 3 easiest to find will be the Shannon Sharpe, Pete Pihos (I just missed buying Justin's) and Steve Van Buren. The remaining 11 will be nearly impossible to find - although I have seen examples of Clark, Friedman, Millner and Stydahar.

From Justin's collection I was able to add another Doug Atkins RC to my collection. I struggled so much to find this card I couldn't pass it up!
I also snagged a couple other cards for my my 1950 and 1951 Bowman Auto Sets.
First up is a 1950 Bowman Mac Speedie RC Auto. His name has been thrown around in the past as a possible senior candidate for the HOF. This is only the second signed 1950 Bowman I've seen.
My next addition is for my 1951 Bowman set. This is possibly one of the toughest cards in the set to obtain. Wimberly passed away in 1976. A few years a ago a near complete 1951 Bowman Autograph set was put up for sale by Mastro Auctions that was missing 5 cards. Wimberly was missing from the set.

I'm still waiting on the results of the rest of my submission. The Ford had to be submitted under a different service because of the price. My order was received on the May 2, logged on May 17th and I think was a 15 or 20 day turnaround time estimate. I'm hoping any day now they will pop.

Wow amazing thread. I would love to speak sometime with so of you experienced autograph collectors. I purchased one of the largest signed sportscard collections back in early 2011 and finally have gotten the HOFers, deceased, tough signers separated for PSA DNA. I have noticed lately that alot of the dealers on ebay who sell these are getting good prices if holdered. I would love to hear opinions on this. You can email me privately at dduncanvintage@aol.com. I would love to hear some advice on this stuff. I have not been an autograph collector in years past, but acquiring this amazing collection has me wnating to move in this direction.

I really like the Fears! I love the Ebay Bucks. I picked up a 1951 Bowman PSA/DNA Elroy Hirsch and 1955 Bowman PSA/DNA Earl "Jug" Girard and only had to pay $10 out of pocket!

I requested the following changes for the Future HOF and Future HOF rookie card sets:
Remove:
Jack Butler
Curtis Martin
Dermontti Dawson
Willie Roaf
Chris Doleman
Cortez Kennedy
Add:
2004 SP AUTHENTIC JARED ALLEN 101
2004 TOPPS CHROME ELI MANNING 205
2005 TOPPS CHROME DEMARCUS WARE 213
The changes are consistent w/ the changes to the non-autographed future HOF modern and senior sets. Are there any non-players (owners, coaches, ect...) that we should add?
Rgs,
Greg M.

Hank Stram
I'm now down to 20 signed HOF rc to complete the set. For the life of me, I can't figure out why it has taken me so long to find a signed Stram rc. He was a great signer when alive and I've seen 10 signed 1960 Fleer Sid Gillman cards for every Hank Stram - even though they both died around the same time and both were great signers for years. Go figure. Here is my updated want list if anyone can help:
Cliff Battles 1935 National Chicle
Buck Buchanan 1964 Topps
Dutch Clark 1935 National Chicle
Al Davis 1990 Pro Set
Turk Edwards 1935 National Chicle
Benny Friedman 1955 Topps AA
Bob Hayes 1966 Philadelphia
Clarke Hinkle 1935 National Chicle
Wayne Millner 1952 Bowman Small / Large
Bronko Nagurski 1935 National Chicle
Leo Nomellini 1948 Leaf
Pete Pihos 1948 Bowman
Deion Sanders 1989 Score
Shannon Sharpe 1990 Action Packed Update
Ken Strong 1935 National Chicle
Joe Stydahar 1952 Bowman Small / Large
Jim Thorpe 1933 Sports Kings
Emlen Tunnell 1951 Bowman
Steve Van Buren 1948 Leaf
Bob Waterfield 1948 Leaf

From what I could tell, these were the only three additions to the future HOF - Modern set and there were no changes (besides removing Jack Butler) to the Future HOF - Senior set.
I think that Gayle will send out a poll - so please respond when you have a chance.

Signed Hank Stram rc that I purchased on E-Bay:
Signed Don Meredith rc that I purchased on E-Bay. The signature is light (ball point pen), but looks nicer in person.
Signed Marshall Faulk rc that I had signed at a recent show:

<< <i>Holy smokes! I think your the first person on the board to track down a Leo Nomellini and Buck Buchanan! Nice ones! >>
Thanks Reese. I still can't believe that I found 4 of my missing cards in one purchase! There aren't many large lot purchases left unfortunately for the HOFers who I still need

I was sad to hear that Justin is selling his collection, but I wish him the best w/ the upcoming events in his life (getting married, buying his first house).

<< <i>Greg, the inscription read Roh 01 Definantly Ring of Honor 01' as thats when he had the honor of being inducted. A truly rare inscription as he passed away just a year later, congrats on those awesome cards! (: >>
Thank you very much - that makes sense and is consistent with the seller's comment that the card was signed right before Bullet Bob died.

The signature looks great on that card - congrats! Len Ford is definately one of the top 10 hardest signed NFL HOF rc...so that is a HUGE addition for your set. Did everything else pass authentication that you submitted?

The next 3 easiest to find will be the Shannon Sharpe, Pete Pihos (I just missed buying Justin's) and Steve Van Buren. The remaining 11 will be nearly impossible to find - although I have seen examples of Clark, Friedman, Millner and Stydahar.
So - who picked up what from Justin's collection?

I also snagged a couple other cards for my my 1950 and 1951 Bowman Auto Sets.
First up is a 1950 Bowman Mac Speedie RC Auto. His name has been thrown around in the past as a possible senior candidate for the HOF. This is only the second signed 1950 Bowman I've seen.
My next addition is for my 1951 Bowman set. This is possibly one of the toughest cards in the set to obtain. Wimberly passed away in 1976. A few years a ago a near complete 1951 Bowman Autograph set was put up for sale by Mastro Auctions that was missing 5 cards. Wimberly was missing from the set.

Greg,
I'm still waiting on the results of the rest of my submission. The Ford had to be submitted under a different service because of the price. My order was received on the May 2, logged on May 17th and I think was a 15 or 20 day turnaround time estimate. I'm hoping any day now they will pop.
