First, I bought a signed 1972 Topps from a fellow member on SCN. I have several of his autographs already but when I started collecting this set, Mr. Anderson was too ill to sign. I knew there would be several people on SCN that wold have this card and I had an offer to sell me one within a couple of hours of posted my need.
I also (finally) received back a 1965 Topps signed by Jim Hannan. Mr. Hannan is a tough signer through the mail so when I saw the Major League Alumni Assocation (MLAM) advertisement of a signing, I sent in my card right away. The signing was in February, and I just card my card back today. That's typical of my experience. I had a REALLY hard time getting a Jim Kaat bobblehead back from them, which I posted about HERE.
But, I've always, eventually, gotten my items back signed, so I continue to use them. I have just learned I need to be patient.
