I have not picked up too many autographed '52s this past year. I was lucky enough to pick these two up at a decent price. Below are the 184th and 185th different cards I now have for this set.
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.
Yeah Shane ... hard to believe it. I guess they were put aside and forgotten. It's nice that he still signed and returned them when he found them.
STAY HEALTHY!

Thanks. Going forward it's going to be a lot harder to find the ones I need at good prices, but I am in no rush. I'm having fun with the journey.

Jason ... I was told that many years ago it was common for kids to erase the facsimile signature on the card and ask the player to sign in the same spot. If you tilt the card in the light you can see where the facsimile signature was erased. I really like these type of signatures on the '52 cards.

This just arrived today. It was sent out the first week I started sending out my TTMs. I mailed this card on 03/20/09. It took 2,915 days (7 years, 11 months 21 days) for it to arrive. Mr. Turner returned it along with the letter I sent him.

Me too Kevin. This is now the longest time it has taken for the successful return of a TTM.

Great job Doug. The journey is the best part right.

Collecting:
Any unopened Baseball cello and rack packs and boxes from the 1970's and early 1980s.
With the below additions, I now have 187 different cards in my 1952 Topps autographed set.
I think over the past two years I have added less than a dozen new cards. I know this will be a life long project but it's still a lot of fun.

Nice pickups Doug! The Suder is a beauty, though it had me wondering for a second. I think I need more coffee!
