    Barry I like the 1965 Gibson, and 1967 Rose. The 1969 Robinson is my favorite card of his so that would be my choice.

    Good luck with the autos!

    I'd get the 65 Topps cards autographed ....

    Rose charges anywhere from $30 - $40 for flats usually

    I think the 1974 Rose card. It's Charlie Hustle at his best IMO.

    Barry, here is what a 67 and 68 Rose look like auto'ed........Preferably, I like the 68, the 67's with the facsimile auto with the real auto dont look as good in my opinion.

    For Bob Gibson, I would get a 67 Topps Yastrzemski signed. For Frank Robinson I would get a 66 Topps Milt Pappas signed, and for Pete Rose I would get a GA coin signed.

    Interesting observation TB. Though I agree with that 68s are an ugly set, the auto really stands out well maybe its because its not such a "busy" card. The 1970 Rose looks nice but I dont think there is a 1970 card out there I would even want. Those are the ultimate ugly, auto or not.

    I think with the Gibson it will be if I find a 63 Fleer or a 65 Topps that I find the best looking card at the best price. But I think that Paul is right that the 65 would look the best.

    I can tell you which ones I wouldn't get signed, and that's the 1967's.

    I've just never liked getting a card autographed when it already has a facsimile on it).

    Barry, Have you thought about maybe getting a 60's opc card to get signed ? I have a few including a 75 Rose, they look they same on the front and may not run you as much as a Topps card.

    As much as I like my OPC's, not a huge fan of them signed unless it was like a Gary Carter, Tim Raines, Andre Dawson, or Dave Stieb rookie for obvious reasons image
