Being a signed set collector though, you will come across the dilemma of having an autograph on every card in the set, and that includes checklist cards.
Having front office personnel or umpires sign those types of cards has been the norm. Since I've gotten deep into several sets now, and I mean years into getting these sets signed, I figured it was time to turn my attention to the checklist cards, and I chose retired umpires for those. The sets I'm working on are 1983 and 1984 Topps and 1991 Upper Deck.
I only started to attack this effort in the last couple weeks but I'm finding the turnaround has been very fast and reliable.
