Recently, I had a return from Phil O'Reilly for my 1948 Leaf Auto project. After a long wait, he signed the card (thanks Snorto) on the reverse. I decided to take another shot and forwarded a nice donation and a PSA 6 crackout. Since Mr. O'Reilly is in his mid 80s, I sent the card in a shortened penny sleeve. It only took a week to get the card back (signed on the front as I politely requested) and the card was not in the penny sleeve, but in an UltraPro semi rigid with a Phil O'Reilly 1948 Leaf inventory sticker on it. Seems perhaps this was from someone else's request or perhaps he had purchased a card for himself (the card returned was the same card that I sent). In any respect, he took the time to make the card more secure than I had sent it. Often I've found most signers couldn't care less about how they return a card. Kudos to Mr. O'Reilly and I've finally completed all of the surviving members of the set...

    Thanks, but I'm still working on those that have passed, too... Are you toggling between two boards, also? image

    WTG Scott ... that is a great accomplishment. How many do you need to complete the entire set? What are the prices of the more expensive ones that you still need?

    Scott,

    I don't know much about this set, but I was looking up something else and noticed that Kenny Washington, who died 40 years ago, is in this set. What does that card go for autographed? Do you have it?
