A Few Paid Signing Returns

My ttm drought continues, but I did receive a few cards today that I sent in to some Attomic Sports signings.

I had two cards signed by Red Schoendienst:  a 1949 Bowman and 1972 Topps.

This makes 40 signed cards from the 1949 Bowman set.  It's one of my favorites.  An odd size, but I like the vintage look of the photos and plain backgrounds that are great for autographs.

 

 

 I also had two more 1972 Topps signed.  This time by Jim Palmer and Hal McRae.  I had previously purchased a PSA/DNA authenticated 1972 Palmer card, but I decided to have one signed anyway.

I think this makes my 1972 Topps set total 190 cards now.

Dave "Boo" Ferriss

Today I received the 1949 Bowman Dave Ferriss card I sent out on 3/27. He signed it nicely in ballpoint which looks great on these vintage cards.


This is the card I have been looking for and a reader of my blog was kind enough to pick it up at a card show and send it to me. Thanks again Art!

Marty Marion Return Today

My son got a return today from Marty Marion. While at the card show at Har Mar Mall the weekend before last, Johnny picked up Marion's 1949 Bowman for $3. The card had a couple of light pencil check marks on it which are barely noticeable.







Johnny sent the letter on August 17th and got it back today, just one week later. In addition to signing the 1949 Bowman, Mr. Marion signed and included a 1948 Bowman reprint, and a 1953 Topps Archives (reprint) which was a little smudged.
