I was collecting TTM autographs for 1991 Topps Archives 1953 Topps for a while a long time ago but recently saw the opportunity on SCN to potentially add to it through a $20 donation to a youth softball team. I was to get random signed cards from the set based on my donation amount, knowing that I probably already had most of what I would be getting in return...it is a donation after all, and nothing was really expected in return anyhow.
For every $10 I got six signed cards.

Mickey Vernon is an upgrade from a black sharpie autograph I already had.
Jimmy Piersall is a new one for me. Also happy to have it since he's a former Angel.
The rest I already have.

Paul Minner is one that's new to me.
Grady Hatton is an upgrade from the thick black sharpie one I had.
The rest are dupes.
I now have 91 of the cards autographed.
Very pleased with what I got for my donation, and I hope the softball team does well this year.
That's so cool. I went through a phase where I was buying up small lots of signed 1991 and 1994 Archives cards. Had a local softball team offered up this deal to me, I would have happily handed over some cash. Do you have a list of the autographs you need? If so, email it to me. I probably have 40 to 50 (not all are 1991 though) still sitting in a box. I might be able to help you out.
ReplyDeleteVery reasonable prices, less than $2 a card.
ReplyDeleteMoney well spent!
ReplyDeleteNice return for a worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a reliable source.
ReplyDeleteI've dug through bins on tables at the National offering $5 IP vintage autographs a couple times, but you have to find like six of them. Turns out a few weren't really signed by that player.
Heck of a deal.
ReplyDeleteEverybody wins!
