I started working on the getting the 2000 Fleer Greats of the Game set signed in 2003, when I sent my first one to Bobby Doerr.
I've worked on it gradually since then, buying some of the certified signed versions as well as getting the base cards signed both ttm and at signings.
I just added two more today with a purchase from Bud's Sports cards via eBay: Bruce Sutter and Carl Yastrzemski.
This is one of two post-2000 sets I work on with the 2008 Goudey being the other. Both sets have some great names and good signers which make them a reasonable project to work on. I still have several signers left to get in the GOTG set, but some are pretty expensive, like George Brett and Mike Schmidt. There are also a few I missed simply by not really focusing on the set hard enough. Rico Carty and Dave Parker come to mind.
Following up on the smeared cards from the Vicente Romo signing, the promoter has agreed to refund the signing fees on the smeared ones and is also trying to find a replacement for the 75 Topps, which he thinks he might have from a previous signing. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a 71 Topps, so I went ahead and bought one on eBay today.
