…..and saving the best for last. This is my second Maris autograph for the set. This one is part of the “In Action” subset, which is titled “Maris Blasts 61st”. This card commemorates his record breaking HR feat in 1961. Maris signed in blue ballpoint pen.

AL& NL HR Kings

I picked up a new addition for our 1962 Topps set. This is one of my favorites so far. The card features Roger Maris and HOFer Orlando Cepeda. This card is extra special because it commemorates Roger’s feat of clubbing 61 HR in ’61 (on the back of the card). Maris and Cepeda signed beautifully in blue sharpie.

Once I actually receive the card, I will post a better scan.

Weekly TTM and other additions (2/15 – 2/21)

esiason14 — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 23:21:05 +0000

Not a bad week. I received several autographs TTM including a couple for my 1962 Topps set.
Jake Gibbs (1962 Topps)
Ed Hobaugh (2nd auto on 1962 Topps Senators team card)
Ed Roebuck (1962 Topps)
Jim Landis (1962 Topps)
Mike de la Hoz (1962 Topps)
Chuck Essegian (1962 Topps)
Jim Thome (2003 Upper Deck Vintage)
Ty Cline (1965 Topps)
Ty Cline (1966 Topps)
Ty Cline (1966 Topps Cubs team)
……
and my favorite return this week was from Marlan Coughtry. I have been looking for Mr. Coughtry for quite some time. Every once in a while I check to see if he is doing any signings. Each time I come up with nothing. I was finally able to locate Marlan and I wrote him a letter asking if it was ok if I sent him a card to sign. He wrote back in under a week giving me the okay. I was thrilled when I got this card back today along with a nice letter. I was able to finish off this Rookie Parade card for my set and met another nice former player TTM. Thanks again!

1962 Topps Rookie Parade

esiason14 — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 03:56:22 +0000

Added a couple of really nice Rookie Parade cards today. These cards are hard to find unsigned and I managed to find a couple fully completed…and another couple that were partially completed. I hope to finish those off over the next few months.

Latest 1962 Topps additions

esiason14 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:58:57 +0000

I added twelve more cards to my 1962 Topps set today. Some really great ones. The one that I’m most happy about it the Jack Kralick. I have been searching for his card for quite a while. He is a notorious tough autograph to find. He lives in Mexico and throws all of his mail out, so signed pieces are hard to come by. Here is the card that I added to my collection today. Not the greatest; a little light, but I’ll take it;

1961 Topps AL Pitching Leaders: 4th auto

esiason14 — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 13:36:51 +0000

I received this card back today. Jim Perry, a great TTM signer, autographed the card in 7 days. I included his fee of $5. Now I’m down to two remaining signers: Art Ditmar and Frank Lary.

I got a couple of nice returns for my 1962 Topps project today along with the second signature on Rollie Fingers Rookie Card.

1962 Topps returns: Ron Santo in 10 days, Duke Snider in 9 days

1969 Topps return: Bobby Floyd in 24 days.

The ’69 Rookie Stars card was already put in the mail to Rollie today. I’m really looking forward to finishing this card off.

I’m halfway done with this card. I received the card back today from Milt Pappas. He was the third autograph on this card after Bud Daley and Chuck Estrada. Milt signed pretty fast as well. It was sent out to him on 8/14 and I got it back today….an eight day turnout.

The card is already on it’s way to Jim Perry…another great TTM signer. After him there will be two guys left; Art Ditmar and Frank Lary. I’m a little worried about these guys. They have a spotty history with signing TTM, at least for me. I have a couple cards out to each of these guys and have yet to get them back. I’m pretty sure the cards have been out for a little over 2 months. Once I get Perry back, I might hold onto the card for while to see if I can get Ditmar or Lary in-person. We’ll see.

Just a quick update on my previous post about the 1961 AL Pitching Leaders card….

After getting the card back signed from Chuck Estrada I mailed it off to Bud Daley the next day. The card was mailed out on 8/04/09 and I got it back today in 9 days. Click on the thumbnail above to view the full size.

With each request I usually include an index card with a few questions. Once in a while I mix it up, but the questions are usually the same.

Here are the answers I got back with the Bud Daley return

Now the card is being sent off to Jim Perry!
