Autographed Baseball HOFer Cards for Trade (scan heavy)

[JollyElm]

From about 1978 to 1983 I used to write to players in a non-stop quest for autographs. I'd research retired players to get their home addresses or I'd send to current players at the various stadiums. When it came to the old timers, I'd usually only send cards in rough shape, so if they didn't respond (which happened often) I wouldn't be out too much. Overall, I did pretty well, though, and have a bunch of autographed HOF cards to trade.

Let me make this clear. All of these cards except Brooks Robinson (card show on Long Island), a couple of the Reggie Jacksons (spring training game), Steve Carlton (various card shows via a 'Lefty' collector) and Enos Slaughter (from a trade) were obtained through the mail (TTM). I don't have a single COA or anything of that nature, so I can't truly claim they're authentic. Of course, I got these at a time when autographs weren't such a cash crop business, so there was never a reason for me to doubt their authenticity.

To see all the scans of my HOFer collection, see this section of my bucket: http://s1226.photobucket.com/albums/...aphed%20Cards/

I also have a wide variety of other autographed cards of stars, semi-stars, commons, etc., from the 70's and early 80's (there are pictures of many of those in my bucket, too, but I have even more of them laying around). So if you're looking for anyone else, I may be able to help.

If you're interested in anything, LMK what you have off of my need list and let's talk. I'll be happy to answer any questions. I'm not looking to sell anything, just trade.

If you have nothing off of my need list, I am also very interested in these:
• HOF'ers in nice shape from the 50's and 60's, ungraded
• Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente & Mickey Mantle cards
• 1958 Topps HOF'ers
• Tough to find errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1961-67 Topps high numbers and SP's
• 1963 Fleer BB stars and HOF'ers in exmt or better shape
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• T-206's
• 1972 Topps FB high numbers (need these in exmt+ shape: 271 Warfield AP, 277 Eller AP, 304 Dale, 308 Morrall, 312 Marsalis, 336 Marshall, 341 Butkus)
• 1972-73 OPC Hockey starter set with stars and/or high numbers
