Autographed Baseball Cards A-Z

When I got back into collecting five or so years ago one of the things that excited me was the availability of autographed cards.  Perhaps I went a little overboard but I think I picked up some nice cards.  This will be an A-Z series of posts with varying numbers of cards.

I thought I was done with the F's but I found two more.

This makes my third Bill Freehan.  It's different than the other two, being an action shot and it's on card.  I have all three of the Topps ATFF base sets.  They're great.

It's "Super Sam" Fuld.  Sam has an interesting background and like Cubs great Ron Santo he battles diabetes while playing baseball.  Love his hustle.  I was sorry to see him leave the Cubbies.   Unfortuately there are only so many spots.

2008 Bowman #224 324/500

One of the cogs of the "Big Red Machine", he won four consecutive Gold Gloves ('74-'77).  He was coincidentally the 3000th strikeout victim of the guy on the next card.

2004 Topps #TA-CG

I liked the second card here.  It has a nice relic (pants by the way), but I wanted an on card auto.  Love these Fleers and Bob has a clear distinctive signature.

2005 UD Hall of Fame Baseball Hallworthy #HW-BG1 15/15

Arizona Daimondbacks manager Kirk Gibson may not be a Hall of Famer but he had some great moments.  You know his home run off Eckersley.  He also won a Championship with the Tigers.  His signature is not very legible but it has an arty kind of vibe to it.

2005 Topps Pristine Relic Cards

These are the only 5 cards I have from this series but I really like them . They look better in person than in the scan. They're basically a chrome card with a relic window. I can see myself picking up a few more of these sometime.
