Here's the last project update for 2014 --- this quest has been super slow --- 2014 started off very nice but nothing until December. So to quench the itch I decided to go after some signatures of players that passed away before I started this.
23 out of Gary's 324 HRs were represented by guys that have passed and this summer I was able to pick up 10 items. I am not sure on how to combine them with my custom the sizes are inline with my custom size --- any ideas????
I still need the following 13
Victor Cruz Nino Espinosa x 3 Ramon Hernandez Rick Mahler Lynn McGlothen x 4 Rod Scurry Eddie Solomon x 2
Just when I thought the year would end without adding there was a few signings that I was able to get in on
I still need these 47
Joaquin Andujar x 2 Jay Baller Steve Carlton x 4 John Denny John Dopson Juan Eichelberger Atlee Hammaker Andy Hassler Andy Hawkins Neal Heaton x 3 Scott Holman Roy Lee Jackson Mike Madden Joe Magrane John Martin Greg Mathews x 2 Rick Matula Butch Metzger Randy Moffitt x 3 Randy O'Neal Reggie Patterson Alejandro Pena x 2 Mark Portugal Jeff Robinson x 3 Nolan Ryan Nolan Ryan Dan Schatzeder Tom Seaver Rick Sutcliffe Bruce Sutter x 2 Freddie Toliver Ed Whitson Todd Worrell Oscar Zamora
Congrats Mike. Always nice to see you get a new one.
STAY HEALTHY!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Was able to obtain a nice number of autos since my last post
As of today I have 268 out of a possible 299 -- was 301 for a long time but Joaquin Andujar passed away in 2015 and I was unable to get the 2 I need -- I hope to pick something up on ebay in 2016
Posted in another thread that the Photobucket issue put a damper on my postings -- now that i can -- and better yet -- you can see my photos I am updating where I can.
As of today I have 274 out of a possible 299
The 25 I still need are:
Jay Baller
Steve Carlton x 2
Juan Eichelberger
Andy Hawkins
Scott Holman
Roy Lee Jackson
Mike Madden
Joe Magrane
John Martin
Butch Metzger
Randy Moffitt x3
Reggie Patterson
Mark Portugal
Jeff Robinson x 3
Nolan Ryan x 2

Was wondering where your status was on this~very cool! Perhaps you can get Ryan and Carlton at a signing?

Does Ryan and Seaver not do very many signings as I would have thought you would have knocked those out by now? Of course, their signatures probably aren't cheap either.
Figuring either the expense of getting Carlton to sign all 11 or that he may limit the number of items he signs at one time. At least you are down to two now for him. Figuring you'll knock those ones out as soon as you catch wind of another signing.
Happy New Year Mike and best of luck continuing the project!!

This is the first time I have seen this thread. This is a great idea! I like how you have the cards from the year of the HR. Nicely done!

It would drive me nuts to do all the hard work you've done only to have John Candelaria keep signing in the wrong place.
Hiya Mike
Great to see this thread again!
I went thru and reacquainted myself.
My favorite? The notes sent by the pitchers to you.
Can't believe how close you actually are now. Best of luck - one of the better threads here.
