LakersMC 1977 TCMA Galasso Greats Baseball
This is a small 45 card set aka. "Stars of the 50's" that I worked on getting signed with my dad when I was a kid in the 80's. I got most of them signed TTM in the early 80's when everyone signed TTM for free (incl. Joe Dimaggio & Ted Williams). I got others signed at card shows when the cost of an auto was about $10 (incl. Willie Mays & Hank Aaron).
Current stats:
42 / 45 (I am including as "done" players who died before the set release)
TTM: 26
IP (card show): 4
Mail (card shows): 6
Bought / ebay: 1
Died before 1977: 5
I'll post pics later.

Random comment: I remember going to a card show where Roy Campanella was signing autographs with special equipment attached to his hand because he was paralyzed. Back in the 80's, it was like $100-$200 for that.
Update: Other than that, Campanella was using a rubber stamp to "sign". I just bought one of these stamped "autographs" on ebay.

Random comment: I just got the Billy Goodman off of ebay (the only one I bought so far). I wrote him TTM in the 80's, but got a letter from his wife that he passed away.
