My signed 1980 BB Immortals project...updated 5/31/09

I thought I would make this thread to give some exposure to this project in hopes that maybe some of you out there can help me out. I remember 1980 Baseball Immortals when I was a kid so it somehow became a favorite set of mine. I've always had a complete set but over the past couple of years I have gotten more and more into signed cards. I thought this would be fun to do and it has been fun.
I have calculated that 71 cards from this set could possibly be signed. There are a few that may not be out there such as Walt Alston, Satchel Paige, Rube Marquard, and Lloyd Waner. As of right now, I have 28 of the 71.
This is a slow project. I dont mind having duplicates because then I can decide which is better for my collection. So, if any of you have them, please contact me! I'll update as I get new ones. Dont expect this to be fast moving. It will probably take me 10+ years to find all that I need as there are some toughies.

But I believe there are only 71 that could possibly be signed. If I can get 67, I will call it complete LOL
For the few that passed prior to 80, you could get a cut sig and have knuckles or heritageaddict put together a custom card.
Sorry but I just had to put that idea in your head.
MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Very nice project. I love the coloring of those cards, very bright and eye catching. Good luck in your quest, you've got some neat ones so far.

Ive just purchased a George Kelly and Stan Coveleski as they are also tougher ones because they died only 3-4 years after the set release. I try to grab those tougher ones when I find them. I also have the George Kell that I forgot to scan. I'll do that one too when I scan the others.

Nice additions. Neat Coveleski error card (I think

hmmm interesting...a Ty Cobb you say...you sure that isnt a Corn on the Cobb? You do own a restaurant and those two things can be easily confused.
