    Awesome!
    So what is the story behind it? How did you obtain each sig?
    And what is next?

    I had purchased the card with the Mays and Frank Robinson sig already on it and from the same seller that Navarro got his. About a month into owning it, I sent it to a St Louis card show for Cepeda. Then, here is the funny part of the story....I sold the card to Randy Ruble. I dont know why I sold it...I had COMPLETE SELLERS REMORSE! Randy sent it to a show for Banks. This all happened in about a 3-4 month span. I kept telling Randy that if he ever decides to sell the card I want it back. Well, finally, he put it up for sale and I bought it back. Man, was I happy! So here I have sat on it for probably close to a year only needing Aaron.

    I missed Aaron at the winter signing at Last Licks. That was really disappointing. I just had to wait until Aaron was doing another signing at money I was willing to spend. I think it was through Mounted Memories he was 250 bucks...yikes. Then Last Licks advertised he would be signing again with them. Their price was 175. I really wanted to go get it done myself but I knew I couldnt when they advertised it would be at the Last Licks in NYC and not the Rye Brook store like it was last year. So, I sent it out and finally I got Aaron. I did request that Aaron sign it in ultra fine to keep the card consistent...but I have a feeling he would only sign in the fine and that is why that is the only one not in ultra fine. But its ok...its complete, it looks nice, and I am very happy with it!

    Yeah, I will be getting it slabbed eventually. That is a card that HAS to be in a holder.

    Im working on the 1963 Topps NL Batting Leaders with Aaron, Musial, Frank Robinson, Tommy Davis, and Stan Musial. I have a feeling that one will not get done. The toughest of all sigs will be Bill White. He doesnt do TTM and rarely does a show. I look every week to see if he is signed up for any shows cuz I need him on 3-4 things. I wish someone on SCN would get a private signing with him. I already have it signed by Musial and its been sent for a friend to get me Tommy Davis. I dont know if I will have it signed by Frank or Hank until I can get Bill White. If I never get Bill White then I'll sell the card...I only like to do cards that I can complete. It's my own OCD that wont let me keep the card if its not complete or I cant get it complete LOL

    I have other smaller multi player projects going on. I have 2 1959 Topps with Doby, Colavito, and Minoso...one of the cards is already signed by Doby and Colavito and the other card is already signed by Doby and Minoso. I hope I can finish both of those within the next month. Colavito is doing a private signing in January and I have someone on SCN that I trust to get me Minoso also in January.

    It might be that White just won't sign for money. In the 1970s he was a good TTM signer and when he was AL Prez he came out for the Playoffs and World Series when the A's were in and my experiences with him were great. He even took the time to chat about baseball with a small group of us young teens at the hotel while waiting for the shuttle to the stadium.

    People change, but my impression of him was he was a "great guy" all around.

  • very nice card!
    blue flip or red flip?
    i prefer blue.

    Bill White's daughter was the scorekeeper for the American Legion team I played on. The team party was at their house and I'll never forget seeing one of White's Gold Gloves on the mantle (first time I had ever seen one in person).
