Gary Carter HR's and the Pitchers -- Take 2 -- HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019

thekid8thekid8 Posts: 1,495 ✭✭✭
edited January 1, 2019 9:44AM in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
This is a re-launch of a thread I started back in 2008

I have begun to scan all my successes so far (My original scans were deleted) and will update this when I have new additions.



I was looking to get a dual signature of Gary Carter and the pitchers who surrendered each of his 324 homeruns. The players will be sent a custom picture that I created which will have a bit of info on the HR.

I have made some real good progress on the returns from the pitchers but I never got around to send some of them to Gary for his signature.



This was started on April 25, 2008

The "photos" measure 5x6 --- below is an example of size with a card added for scale

I will post all the images I have so far and will post a place holder if necessary.



HOMERUNS 1-10

Homerun #7 = Randy Moffitt

    Mike, another awesome thread. Thanks for bringing it back for us newbies.

    Have you been pursuing this all along or did you take a break from your pursuit? If you did send them all out already, how many did you end up getting back?

    Looking forward to more scans!!!

    Thanks Geordie, Sethro and Mike for the kind words

    Mike
    I have been plodding along since April 2008 -- most of the returns came between 2008 -- 2010 and now I am looking towards private signings for the outstanding ones. -- I will recap what I need once I get them all posted

    Mike,
    What are you going to do about the pitchers who are deceased?

    Also, kind of funny that John Candelaria wasn't really grasping the concept of where to sign. He's like the the kid who would sign your yearbook on your picture, not his own.

    What a cool idea! very nice. Cut autos would be cool for the desceased pitchers if you could find them online. Either way it's an amazing collection!

    Mike ... what an amazing idea. They look GREAT! Jim Rooker (3 HRs in one game and then 2 HRs in another) must have laughed like hell when he received your TTM package! KEEP IT UP!

    PS Rooker gave up FIVE of Gary's first 53 HRs!!!!!!

    EDITED to add: And Carlton gave up 4 of his first 44!!!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Nope on the Carlton's --- Carter hit 11 off of Mr. Carlton and to date I have 5 of the 11. I will need to pay for the other 6

    I went through a PVT signing to get 4 of them in Dec 2011 I went through his foundation on HR #1 (Jan 2010)

    Boy Mike that is a lot of custom cards. I can't wait until you get the Mets years. He did start off with a bang!!! image
