I received six successes today, for a total of 11 cards, including two 2008 Goudeys.
Al Kaline signed his 2008 Goudey. I sent his request to the Detroit Tigers' address and included $5 cash.
Don Larsen signed his 2008 Goudey for his $7 fee.
Robin Roberts signed a 1959 Topps "Ace Hurlers" picturing him and Billy Pierce, for a $10 donation to
B.A.T. (Baseball Assistance Team). I will get this in the mail to Mr. Pierce tomorrow.
Joe Gaines signed his 1963, 1964 and 1965 Topps cards for me.
Gene Stephens signed his 1959, 1960, 1961 and 1964 Topps.
And John Herrnstein signed his 1965 Topps for my set.
That's the most returns I've had in one day in a long time. Still no Whitey Ford though. I also want to get Whitey on his 2008 Goudey but I want to make sure I get back my 1965 Topps first.
Next in the series of autographs that every collector should have is Robin Roberts. Roberts is a Phillies legend, playing with the team from 1948 to 1961. He also played for a few other teams from 1962 to 1966, including the Orioles, Astros and Cubs.
A right handed pitcher, Roberts won 20 or more games in six straight seasons from 1950 to 1955, winning 28 games in 1952. He had seven All-Star Game appearances, retired with a 3.41 ERA and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1976.
Mr. Roberts signs through the mail for a small donation to B.A.T. (Baseball Assistance Team), which is an organization that raises money for retired players in need. For a $10 donation, he will sign a card, ball or picture.
I have several autographs of his including a ball with his HOF year, a 1953 Sport Magazine, and a few cards from the sets I collect (1958 Topps, 1951 Bowman, 1965 Topps).
