I made two different, small purchases of some signed 1971 Topps. One from an SCN member, who had their cards listed on eBay, and another via eBay itself. Despite a total of only 13 cards between the two purchases, I bought duplicates of both Paul Blair and Jackie Hernandez. Obviously I'm not paying enough attention to what I'm doing.
A couple of these are upgrades, but most are new and helping me knock some off my wantlist for this set. I'm down to needing about 245 more to complete the set.
In addition to the 71s, I also bought a 1963 Topps signed by Billy Pierce, and a 1965 Topps signed by Al Weis. I plan to send a few cards to Weis soon, to try to upgrade a few cards he previously signed in black, but bought the 65 on a whim since it was cheap and looked nice.
I also received 7 cards back from a Dwight "Doc" Gooden signing, including his 1984 Topps Traded rookie card, which I had authenticated. I took the opportunity to have him sign some of the 1972 Topps awards cards including the Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and Minor League Rookie of the year.
I also received a couple Metrodome seatbacks back from a Bert Blyleven signing that I'll post about shortly.
