Joe Shipley signed his 1959 and 1960 Topps.
Irv Noren signed his 1960 Topps.
Tom Hall signed his 1970 and 1972 Topps.
I've been thinking about a new project to start and I think I've decided to work on the 1972 Topps set. I used to really hate the set, with it's '70's-style lettering and odd color-schemed borders. For some reason now I think they're cool.
Now I have to try to find a nice large lot cheap enough. I'm hoping to pay about 25 cents per card for a large lot. I've already started going through the checklist and identifying which players sign through the mail. I'm going to set a goal of 400 signed cards out of that set.
I got another interesting return today. A member on SportsCollectors.Net is an acquaintance of Sal Durante. Mr. Durante is the fan that caught Roger Maris' 61st home run back in 1961. I got a picture of Sal and Maris, signed by Sal and inscribed with the date he caught the ball. Sort of an odd item since Sal wasn't a player himself, but I think it's pretty cool and it was very inexpensive.
