Many of you are familiar with my Topps Yankees Project. However, for those who aren't, here's a quick recap: In 2011, I decided to pursue a through the mail (TTM) project, obtaining an autographed Yankees card from each season that Topps has issued a set. I knew it would be a challenge, but I also knew it was very doable.
A few self-imposed rules:
1. No repeating players.
2. I did not pay any fees. These signatures were all free via the generosity of that player.
3. I did not include personalized autographs (although have many in my collection)
4. I can and may still swap out players at any time.
5. No reprints! All original Topps cards.
I'll also note that some of these were obtained when I was a kid, such as the Knoblauch and Girardi. I wasn't starting entirely from scratch. I have been adding the current year's release as quickly as possible, and am anxiously awaiting the 2016 Series One checklist so I can target a player for 2016.
Here we go!
Who will be next? Your guess is as good as mine. Thanks for reading!
That's a nice run of signed Topps Yankees cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThese all look fantastic. Especially the Mo.
ReplyDeleteThe Mo is probably my favorite.
DeleteThe signatures of some of these (Richardson, Stottlemyre, Klimkowski, Kamieniecki) put those of some of the more current players to shame (Shane Greene, good god what is that). Thank goodness for Rivera or it would be a complete collapse.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. You can really see the evolution of athlete signatures (or lack there of) here.
DeleteMy favorite is the Big Hirok. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteHe was always a decent signer!
