I bought this card to have signed for my HOF rookie collection but I got one already PSA/DNA'd on ebay this week so I figure what the heck, I'll send this one and see if he'll sign it for me and then I'll have a nice one for trade. Card is in decent shape but is miscut top to bottom. I cracked it out of a BVG slab. That dip in the yellow is not from an uneven trim, that is a slight indentation from pushing it into a card holder, I need to mash it back 
, I don't believe it is trimmed just miscut, however, will look nice if signed. Dropped it in the mailbox this evening so I'll keep the thread updated one way or the other.
Do they still make Beckett Baseball Card Monthly?? I used to always get it as a kid, but I haven't bought a price guide in years. I'd like to see what "Book" is on the cards in my rookie collection. No, they aren't for sale, just want to see what it says out of curiousity.

<< <i>I got my banks submission back stamped last years. Did you send any money? >>
I included a check for $25.00. I hope that will help.

<< <i>Mike - How much did the Banks cost you it looks like a nice card. >>
It cost me $138.10. It used to be a BVG 1.5. Other than a miscut and the 4 rounded corners, the other problem is an indentation (looked like something with a heavy edge was sitting on it) that runs on the left side of the card that can't be seen in the scan, but is obvious when its in hand. Here's a pic before I cracked it out.

<< <i>mike, I have heard Ernie has turned sour on TTM's lately, I think his wife reads all his requests and may send some back. He used to be good as gold, Maybe you will catch him in a good mood. >>
I knew a long time ago he was good at signing, he probaly still does some shows, but if you are lucky you cold probaly just him to sign alot cheaper through the mail than at public signing

I read that as well, but that seems to be for stuff sent to his foundation in California, there is also an address in Chicago that seems to have some recent successes according to sportscollectors.net I think he lives in California but he makes occasional appearances in Chicago, so maybe he takes care of his mail in Chicago when he is there and his wife is in CA. I haven't seen any recent successes through CA. I sent it to Chicago hoping to catch him there.
Take care,
Mike
<< <i>Yep, Just checked you have all 3 of those to! Good Luck with getting Ernie to sign >>
Mike,
Yep, I have all 3 of those, if he signs it for me, I'll take a look at what you have at that time and maybe we can come up with something. Take care,
Mike

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Looks nice, great for you Mike.

Great looking card. He signed the same spot on the one you had then, with the waterstain.
