Believe it or not I got this as a TTM autograph request in the 1970's when TTMing was not all that common like it is now. This is probably my favorite card with the triple signed Fleer card a close second.
The Rose/Schmidt/Bowa card was given to me by Pete Rose's agent after I spent the weekend tailing him around Wrigley Field as part of his security detail when he tied Ty Cobb's record.
Here is my favorite card. Almost 8 years ago, money was tight and a Yaz RC was a dream card. My wife and kids gave me this card as a BVG 2.5 for Christmas. Years later I cracked it out, got it signed, and sent it to PSA/DNA. I have many cards that are worth more money, but this is by far my favorite card in my collection:

This is a great story, Dan. It's what the hobby is all about.
Steve gave me this bat in 1981 at Shea Stadium right after batting practice. He then signed in year after at the National Card show in NYC. Have kept it for 40 years. Crazy.
1998 Upper Deck Griffey Most Memorable Home Runs
This 10-card set features color action photos of Ken Griffey Jr. hitting the most memorable home runs of his career printed on cards measuring approximately 3 1/2" by 5" with gold foil highlights. The backs carry another photo of the home run along with the date and why the home run was important in his career. Limited Edition Ken Griffey Jr. Autograph cards were randomly inserted in the set boxes. Also inserted was a special redemption card to be redeemed for an exclusive Ken Griffey Jr. 300th HR Commemorative Card or a special oversized card of equal or greater value.
I'm stuck at 6 of the 10 Autoed cards from the set

That is incredible. I don't have anything that cool when it comes to autographs. That's a one-of-a-kind experience with EVIDENCE that it happened! I live in Oklahoma, and I met Steve at a signing in Oklahoma City a few years back. Unfortunately, that might be the only time I'll ever get to see him in person. But you never know!

Incredible eye candy everyone. Amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool on the Garvey bat. Obviously I was kidding in not liking those posts. The OPC rookie is really cool.
