Great 1957 Topps Basketball. Awesome Jim Brown. That Slater Martin looks better a than 6 to me. They were kind of tough on some of those 1957s. Ed Macauley a nice one. Bill Sharman looks better than a 2.
Have to start this post with a thanks to pmcollectour (Marc). Truly a nice guy. I received a package in the mail last week from Marc containing the Barasso/MacLeish/Modano cards below because he thought I would enjoy them. What a cool thing to do. Thanks Marc, I really appreciate it!
Other returns are from the past two weeks. I've been a little lazy about scanning.

STAY HEALTHY!

Just back from vacationing on Cape Cod for a week with Mrs Coach. Played too much golf, got no sleep because of the damned humidity and watched way too much of the terrible Red Sox. Great vacation. And it's always awesome to return home to several returns.
Also, must mention that the best return was Sportsworld USA making good on their Charlie Burns mess up. I got home to find not one but two 1971 Topps cards with good signatures plus replacement 69 and 70 Topps. GREAT PEOPLE at Sportsworld. Pretty cool that they worked it out with Charlie to make it right.

Thanks to John again! He drove from Chicago to St Louis to get these done for us. Good friend to have
Added Bob Pettit to my NBA 50 Greatest Lithograph. Now 30/45 possible. My guess is an Isiah Thomas signing in January or so is probably the next addition.
<< <i>Man that's cool! Does Michael ever do signings? >>
He does but he won't sign multi-pieces, rookie cards and some other stuff...plus, it's between $800 and $1200 per signature. My thought on it is that I'd have to have every other living guy to even fathom a way to get Jordan to sign it. Hopefully by then I'm producing movies of my own and I can just cast him in some cameo to get in his good graces...that's always been my plan on how to get Tiger Woods to sign all the golf balls that I need from his major wins...hey, a guy can dream, right? Anyone have a million bucks? Let's make a a low budget drama. I have the script all ready. HA!!!!

Nice to have friends. My buddy JeserOne met Jim Brown and Eric Dickerson at a golf tournament and picked them up for me on All Americans for my set. He also figured out a way to take personalizations off cards signed in sharpie and was able to remove them from my Spurrier, May and Majors cards. I don't actually have a big issue with personalization but for presentation purposes, I like them to be uniform. So I;m super happy with these now. Also added some stuff from the recent Celtics show in Boston via mail.

I have 3 movies in heavy post production right now and it's been tough to find time to scan and post. Quite a few cards have come in recently. Decided to send out some 70's Red Sox a couple weeks ago and they're coming back. Also have another set that I started that I'll debut in this thread in a couple weeks.

Dark picture but overall pretty happy with the Robinson signature. It was always going to look out of place because Jerry West screwed up that section but I think this is about the best that could be done.
made a deal with a friend on SCN for three new additions to 1969 Basketball. I was happy to find the Debusschere since he's deceased but I feel like the Davis and Tresvant cards are even harder to find. Tresvant suffered a stroke some years back and doesn't sign and I've only ever seen 1-2 other Jim Davis cards signed. I'm now 84/99 on the set. Amazingly, of the 15 I'm missing, 8 are alive - just very tough.

If you've noticed a trend in this thread toward some Boston stuff, there's definitely a reason for it. I was getting a little bored with some of the stuff I was doing. I even sold a couple of team pieces I had been working on for teams that I'm not a fan of. I figured if I'm collecting, I may as well push some of my collection toward teams I actually root for...and it's been fun. Plus, the letter writing is way easier because I've seen many of these guys play or even met them in the past. Don't get me wrong, the other stuff is awesome (I love the heck out of the late 60's/early 70's hockey -- and I have a huge thing to share on that in a few days) but this has been a very positive turn in my enjoyment of this hobby.

Or we put together a fake movie, but we need some sort of star power to lure Jordan in. Need an office, script, posters, film art, business cards, some type of press event and canadian passports. Opps sorry just saw Argo last weekend. Might be easier to pony up the $5,000 to get Tiger and Jordan to sign some stuff.
I love that poster though and you have more than half the battle done. I was at a show a few years back and Issiah was just sitting there, no one bought any autograph tickets, kind of sad really.
Not a ton of time to post these lately and to be honest I have several more than I haven't scanned. But here goes...

I'm so glutton for punishment. The Toronto card show was last weekend and I had an SCN member take this poster with him because 11 guys from the Canada '72 team were appearing. I had added Jean Ratelle a few months ago. Will be adding to it as the years go on and on and on and on....

I put together a small private submission with 5 guys to Great North Road and was able to get all the Bobby Orr cards I needed for my sets done. Stoked! In a few days I'm going to post something else from 1968 Topps Hockey that is super exciting.
Also, i am now 1 away from completing my first major set - All Time Celtics Rookie Autographs. I added KC Jones in a deal on ebay and am now only missing a 1998 SP Authentic Paul Pierce signature - and I bought a PSA 10 to crack (yes, I'm stupid) for whenever Sure Shot Promotions has him again.

<< <i>Man that's cool! Does Michael ever do signings? >>
He does but he won't sign multi-pieces, rookie cards and some other stuff...plus, it's between $800 and $1200 per signature. My thought on it is that I'd have to have every other living guy to even fathom a way to get Jordan to sign it. Hopefully by then I'm producing movies of my own and I can just cast him in some cameo to get in his good graces...that's always been my plan on how to get Tiger Woods to sign all the golf balls that I need from his major wins...hey, a guy can dream, right? Anyone have a million bucks? Let's make a a low budget drama. I have the script all ready. HA!!!! >>
You are getting close to a million dollar collection!
<< <i>Thanks to John again! He drove from Chicago to St Louis to get these done for us. Good friend to have
Added Bob Pettit to my NBA 50 Greatest Lithograph. Now 30/45 possible. My guess is an Isiah Thomas signing in January or so is probably the next addition.
GREAT piece!

Or we put together a fake movie, but we need some sort of star power to lure Jordan in. Need an office, script, posters, film art, business cards, some type of press event and canadian passports. Opps sorry just saw Argo last weekend. Might be easier to pony up the $5,000 to get Tiger and Jordan to sign some stuff.
I love that poster though and you have more than half the battle done. I was at a show a few years back and Issiah was just sitting there, no one bought any autograph tickets, kind of sad really.
