The two sases in my Informed Delivery email showed some pretty bent and creased corners so I was a little worried about my cards. They all turned out to be okay though.
Ralph Gagliano signed what I believe to be his only card: a 1965 Topps also pictured with Jim Rittwage.
Mr. Gagliano signed another copy of this card for me about 16 years ago, after Jim Rittwage had already signed it.
Bobby Wine signed his 1970 and 1971 Topps as well as a 1971 Topps Buy Back card. He also returned a signed, black and white vintage picture. It's printed on heavy cardstock with a little discoloring on that blank back, which is what makes it appear vintage. It's pretty cool and a nice surprise to get back.
I also received a 1965 Topps signed by Ron Swoboda that I bought on Ebay. I'm surprised I didn't have this one yet, but the card is expensive due to it being Tug McGraw's rookie also.
After buying this card, the obsessive collector in me kicked in and decided I should also have a copy of this card that I got signed ttm, so I purchased a blank copy of the card too. Bethke still signs, but the other two are deceased.
