Addresses

Please leave a comment or send me an e-mail if there are any addresses that you are looking for from my successes.  I will be happy to tell you where I sent it, and how long it took, etc.  I have all of that in yet another spreadsheet.

Some may ask where I get my addresses from; I get a lot from the website Sports Card Forum in the TTM database, I get others from searching myself (gotta love wikipedia), and others from http://www.sportscollectors.net/.  Many of the addresses are out there, you just have to spend a little time searching and keep track of them somewhere!

Not just 1987 Topps!

I live in the northern suburbs of Chicago, and we are fortunate to have lots of autograph signings in the area.  I rarely attend ones in downtown Chicago, but there are loads in the suburbs.  I try to go to those within a one-hour radius of where I live, and ones that are either free, or the fee goes to charity.  I understand that card stores that bring in players have to pay large fees, and to offset them, they need to charge the autograph seeker, however, I rarely attend those.

Recent signings I have gone to (since 23-Jul-2010):
Bo Jackson (1987 Topps!)
Dick Butkus
Mike Eruzione
Devin Aromashodu
Sergio Santos

I post all of my in-person successes on a website called Sports Card Forum.  The thread where I post them all is:
http://www.sportscardforum.com/showthread.php?t=412225

I post photos of some of the signed cards in that thread, and I would certainly be willing to entertain trade offers for needed 1987 Topps!

Currently Needed:02-Sep-2010

1st Post-Welcome

Hi everyone.  I have been collecting autographs both in person and through the mail for a few years, after taking a break from the hobby for about 10 years.  As I continued to send out requests, I noticed that I was frequently gravitating toward the 1987 Topps baseball cards, and I decided to attempt to get the entire set autographed. 
A couple of logistical problems: The set is 792 cards large, there are 6 checklists in the set, and there are 26 Team Leaders cards.  I decided to subtract those, and I am left with 760 total autographable.  Unfortunately, 5 of the players are deceased, and one of them (Kirby Puckett) is on two cards, so those will be a bit tougher. 

Compounding these problems is the fact that I like to do things on the cheap if I can.  So, I really don't want to spend $100 on a Mike Schmidt auto.

So, for the most part, I am doing TTM to current coaches and managers, and retired players, or the players that only charge a small fee for signing. 

I handwrite every letter to the former players, and I work a full-time job and have a family, so basically I mail out about 5-10 requests per week, and I get back a few.

My purpose of this blog will be to update everyone on my pursuit of every autograph, and let you know who I still need, or who I have extras of.  I will probably not have too many images or photos unfortunately, as I am not set-up for that at this time!

If you have any extra 1987 Topps baseball available for trade or for sale cheaply, let me know!

Thanks
