Recently I hit a milestone on one of the sets I'm working on. Only a few members that frequent the TTM section know that I've been working on getting the entire 2008 Allen and Ginter set signed, minus the deceased historical figures and architectural cards. Recently I got in my 150th (152nd to be exact) card for this set. It is definitely a labor of love (and money!) But in honor of me hitting 150 I thought I'd do a little contest.

Below you will find one image containingredients all of the cards I have for the set, so it will be a big image. All you have to do is tell me which card from below is your favorite. I will then random off all of the entries and the winner will get a prize that has yet to be determined. The contest will remain open until the conclusion of the 2016 World Series.

Bonus points (not really) for those who give me their top 20, as I have a 20 card display that I will be putting up for the set

Without further adieu-

Impressive collection. Especially love the Ichiro and Bigfoot! There are quite a few Japanese MLB players featured in 2008. Those will be tough tracking down. Here are mine in the PC:

The Japanese players are my main concerns for this never happening. That and Derek Jeter (Steiner wants $750/item to be signed)

I've seen signed copies of Saito and Iguchi a long time ago. But guys like Fukudome (who never signs baseball cards), Johjima, Kobayashi and Dice-K I've never seen signed before. Hideki Matsui works for the Yankees so you might be able to get him TTM.

My favorite is the Justin Morneau. The picture on the card and the pose takes me back in time. His signature is just so perfect and he takes time doing it. It just stands out from the rest. Very impressive. Congrats!
