My first post and a question about autographs

depcs · March 28, 2009 11:39PM

Hello- I've been collecting cards since the 1960's on and off, but only started collecting autographs this year. I've gotten three responses TTM so far and I can see how addicting it can be. I'm going to work on Pittsburgh Pirate World Series teams and first African American players for each MLB team. I appreciate all of the information here. Has any one done business with Clean Sweep auctions out of New York? I picked up their catalog at the Philly Show and it has some autographs that look interesting. Also, any advice on getting some Pirate autographs would be appreciated. I did join SCN. Thanks for any advice. Dave

Clean Sweep is basically a reputable auction house, I however, refuse to do business with them.

If there is a problem with an item he (Verkman) has been known to blow off his customers.

Hi, hello, how are ya?

I'm not an expert on autographs but several here are quite knowledgeable and have threads about their experiences TTM. There is a gentleman on the SGC board who has an extensive collection of vintage autos, perhaps he too could assist you.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Welcome!

I've had probably 10+/- problem-free transactions with Clean Sweep, but I have heard some bad stories as well.

Welcome aboard! Glad to see you are a fellow SCN member. TTM's are indeed addicting.

From the 60 team Friend , Law and Face are very easy to find. Virdon , Skinner , Groat and Maz are just a tad harder but still real easy. All of those guys did and still go a lot of signing. I don't know how deep into the roster you are planning on going but Jim Umbricht would definitely be a tough one.

Thanks for the info and welcome. I look forward to participating on the boards in the future.
