Title: RBI: The autographs
Post by: TempoGL on 08/13/05, 04:28:51 PM
who here has the most autographed cards of RBI players?

In the past two weeks, i have acquired the following players:

Tim Raines
Spike Owen
Dickie Thon
Andy Ashby

For one reason or another, i also got the following players (they seem pretty random, mostly white sox players, although the non-sox are special to me in one way or another)

Jose Valentin
Chris Snopek
Peter Bergeron
Alvaro Espinoza
Luis Vizcaino
Dustin Hermanson

I would like to add that I did not pay any more than $2 for any of these cards, lest you think I am a nut for buying an autographed Alvaro Espinoza card.

I have a ball that I jumped onto Fenway Park field during batting practice when I was 12 to get.  Boggs refused to sign it, but I got Mike Heath to sign it.  I would like to here more about autographs of the obscure players.  They must be tougher to come by.

That's impressive.  Unfortunately, I can't say I have any of the ones you're missing, although I want to say my brother had a Sam Graddy card, and that's how I knew he was a world-class sprinter.

my brother is hard to shop for, and a big bulls fan...so i thought i'd get him a bunch of random bulls memorabilia off ebay.  there was a listing for 3 autographed bulls cards, including norm van lier (who is now dead and someone my brother is a fan of), so I thought I'd bid on it to try and get it for him.  in the process, i checked out the other auctions the guy had.  There was one for auto'd Joe Niekro, Jerry Royster, and John Candelaria cards.  Since he didn't charge extra for shipping more than one auction, I figured I'd get those for myself.

You guessed it...got outbid on the bulls cards, and now I am stuck buying these other cards.

Here's my collection of RBI autographs on cards...I have others on baseballs.  Off of the top of my head, they are Mattingly, Canseco, Dawson, Sandberg.

Semi-funny story about the Sandberg autograph on the ball--Riley and I went to Cincy and stayed at the hotel that the Cubs stayed in when we were 12 or so.  I got a really fast, scribbled Sandberg on a ball early in the evening.  He came back while there were less people around, and signed a really nice one for Riley.  I was pissed that I didn't have a ball for him to sign neatly...but convinced Riley to play one RBI game when we got back--if I win, we swap Sandberg balls (yes, I said it).  If he wins, I give him $40. 

I won.  Fun times.

I probably have some that are on Arcade RBI.  I know for sure that I have

George Foster on a BP ball from Great American Ballpark
Johnny Bench on a baseball and on a Topps card that I got in a pack

I may have some others, but can't think of it right now

I never really understood the excitement of autographs.  I could never see me going out of my way to have someone sign something for me

I guess I understand if it was a personal item that you had signed for display, but I dont understand people paying for autographs and stuff.

To me, it is no different than collecting baseball cards.

Why did I collect so many Eric Davis cards when I was a kid? 

He was my favorite player.  Same with Fred McGriff, Rex Hudler, Chili Davis, Dave Parker, Gorman Thomas, etc

To get one of their cards in a pack was always exciting.  To get something signed by one of them is even better then.

I just donated most of them to my school.  They're doing a silent auction to fundraise and those will be added to a basket of baseball memorabilia.
