Mike ... I'm not the best at evaluating autos, but that Seaver looks decent to me ... looks like a rushed in person auto. I'll get all the Seavers I have and scan them for you.

Man, I was psyched to get my 2nd Hi #'d 1952 Topps autographed card in the mail today. One of the best things about it was that I was able to pick this up for less than the price of a non autographed "PSA 1".

Yeah, that is the "other" Dutch Leonard. If this guy died in '52, man what a piece this would be! THIS Dutch Leonard was born in 1909 and died in 1983. He played ball from 1933 - 1953. It's still a nice one to have of a guy who died 30 years ago.

NOVEMBER 6, 2013 I worked out a deal with a non-board member for ten autographed 1952 Topps cards for my set. Took over three months for the deal to work out, as most of these were sitting at PSA/DNA waiting to be slabbed.
The seller was a great guy and was very reasonable with his prices. One thing I was disappointed in (I guess this is my fault, as I should have insisted on scans of the cards) was the fact that a couple of the cards were badly miscut and one has the two lower corners clipped. If I were selling these I would have pointed out those negatives. That being said, here are the ten that I am very happy to add to my set!
I didn't realize that this has the auto on the reverse. I'll have to replace this one as well in the future. I hope I can find one with such a bold signature on the front.
