…..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.

Ed Roebuck (1962 Topps)

……
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!

A SCN member recently went to the Chicago Sun-Times Sports Collectibles Convention in Rosemont, IL. He was nice enough to bring along two 1962 Topps Orlando Cepeda cards for me.

Latest 1962 Topps additions

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;
