The '76 team set is what got me started and at the end of 2015 I decided to do the 1960's decade also.
Difficult 1970s that I know of are Clay Kirby, Ed Armbrister, Jim McGlothin. Julian Javier lives in DR, Hal McRae doesn't seem to sign much, Tom Seaver (plenty of ball points, but steep $ to get him now), Pedro Borbon, Sparky Anderson have gotten $ since their passing, Bench, Rose and Morgan are $, and Santo Alcala is not all that common. And probably some others that I'm forgetting. Since I'm picky wanting blue sharpie and decent centering I'm passing up a good number of cards.
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.

Goosh, I have been reading up on the Big Red Machine teams lately. What an amazing run of players. Basically, the National League "Murderer's Row". I am eyeing one of those signed photos with the full line up. What a great decade for the Reds! I have a project I am doing where I am putting together a Full run of one each Topps card. Each card will display a HOFer. Since I have favorite players on favorite cards, it is hard to put this set together. I am trying to figure a way to string Bench, Morgan, Rose, and Perez in one 4 year run. Those four reds lined up will be awesome!

The 70s and the Big Red Machine - was that great or what?
One year when I continued my sub to SCD - they gave me a Perez auto pic - very cool.
I just picked up the 72 WS Press pins which gets no love here - but I'm doing some research by accident on an BB exec - I picked up his NBC press pass and found out that the person who had the pass was quite a "big whig" in BB. Move later on.

Well, Photobucket is no longer free to host pics, so the beginning of my thread lost all the pics. I'll try to update the pics to this site as time allows, luckily my last few pics are hosted here.

Do you need Mike LaCoss? I have a friend who is friends with him, and I could probably get a card signed for you.
Yes I do. PM sent.

Interesting to compare their current sigs to those that are facsimile on certain years.
Do you plan to get the other signatures of other players on league leaders and playoff cards?

Great thread! Keep it up!

Yes if reds players are on the card, the goal is to have them sign.

fantatsic project. I'm loosely working on the 70's Red Sox and we have a mutual need...Ed Armbrister! So tough.

Thanks for the comments. If I counted correctly I have 178 signed. The registry set says 340 items.
