I had a pretty good day at the mailbox today. In addition to my autographs, I received two orders that combined for about 75 unsigned 1954 Topps. I've decided to try to complete an unsigned set and am about halfway there. It will be a pretty low-grade set, in the VG, VG/EX range.
Paul Molitor signed his 1978 Topps rookie card for his $40 fee ($20 for non-rookies). I had one already, but the card wasn't in great shape. It's a really hard card to get in decent grade, as centering is often a problem, and many of them have the exact same printing issue along the red line at the bottom and into the words, "Rookie Shortstops".
Here's my previous one, which I got signed at TwinsFest 2011.
Jose Cardenal signed his 1967 and 1972 Topps. The 72 is a nice upgrade to my previous one, which he signed in black.
Frank Tepedino signed his 1974 and 1975 Topps. I sent this request in May of 2022! When it didn't come back after a year or so, I sent another request in 2023 which came back eight months later in 2024. This request, meanwhile, was still outstanding and took a total of just under 3.5 years. This was my 5th longest success.
And the ever-reliable Dave Giusti signed three cards for me in about two weeks.
I sent some cards in to a John Castino signing as well as a Fernando Arroyo signing. They share a 1982 Twins leaders card, and was able to have the promoter get them both to sign it. I received the other Arroyo cards I sent in, but not the other Castino cards yet.
