Was looking at my O'Neill list today sorting thru for autographs, realized he had 96 autos out of 1300 cards, which is about 7% of all his cards. I wanted to see where that stood among others. I tried to include all those with close to 10,000 cards and also some popular players with a decent amount of cards.
Autographs as percentage of total cards:
Stan Musial 1348/4355 = 30.95%
Ryne Sandberg: 1260/4421 = 28.5%
Ozzie Smith 1085/3930 = 27.6%
Yogi Berra 921/3376 = 27.3%
Don Mattingly 1509/5732 = 26.3%
Nolan Ryan 2376/9651 = 24.6%
George Brett 949/3963 = 23.9%
Will Clark 505/2611 = 19.3%
Cal Ripken Jr 2400/12665 = 18.9%
Tony Gwynn 1392/7531 = 18.5%
Eric Chavez 621/4109 = 15.1%
Carlos Zambrano 223/2007 = 11.1%
Curt Schilling 643/6164 = 10.4%
Roger Clemens 1190/12212 = 9.7%
Ken Griffey Jr 1206/13321 = 9.1%
Alex Rodriguez 1647/18,207 = 9.0%
Albert Pujols 1092/12653 = 8.6%
Derek Jeter 1044/12489 = 8.4%
Todd Helton 498/6090 = 8.2%
Jeff Bagwell 496/6180 = 8.0%
Andruw Jones 557/6926 = 8.0%
Chipper Jones 868/11018 = 7.9%
Gary Sheffield 582/7483 = 7.8%
Randy Johnson 774/10069 = 7.7%
Manny Ramirez 748/10145 = 7.4%
Frank Thomas 684/9972 = 6.9%
Mike Piazza 601/9134 = 6.6%
Vladimir Guerrero 697/10657 = 6.5%
Sammy Sosa 468/7612 = 6.1%
Greg Maddux 633/10591 = 6.0%
Pedro Martinez 489/8392 = 5.8%
Ivan Rodriguez 361/7122 = 5.1%
Barry Bonds 366/11522 = 3.2%
Mark McGwire 133/4693 = 2.8%
Hideki Matsui = 85/4382 = 1.9%
Larry Walker 51/3880 = 1.3%
Ichiro Suzuki 107/8679 = 1.2%
Not a terrible surprise, but to compare how low that is...
Mickey Mantle 152/11368 = 1.3%
Even Mickey Mantle edges out Ichiro!
I can't believe some of the retired stars have close to 30% autographs, I really feel for those who collect those players. Anyway, after all my number crunching thought it was amusing and wanted to share. Feel free to add others.
