I remember back in the old BMB days when Nojo pulled an actual full GU patch of Alex Rodriguez from the previous years all star game. It wasn't autographed, but it was still pretty impressive in that frame.

Wow, interesting that someone still remembers that. It was a good day, doubt I'll ever pull something better.

I think I have a Wade Miller in a box somewhere. Talk about a guy whose mlb career just one day vanished. His 2001-2004 seasons were pretty solid then it was all down hill from there.

Amazing collection! Do you hang them on your wall or just keep them in a box or what? Those would look pretty neat in a mancave somewhere I'd imagine.

BTW I was up your way yesterday. Went to Lonoake to the Blackmon Auction looking at a tractor that's going to sell.

I used to have some of them on the wall, but right now I have them just stored away. I have a few nice 16x20 Steiner auto'd pictures on the wall now. They will go back up at some point.

Sorry for the large scans. I usually only pick up HOF member signing bonuses, but with them getting harder to find. I decided to pick up a few low numbered signing bonuses.

That is the coolest set of current time IMO. Wish I collected a few of them. How many in the set & how far are you into completing it? AWESOME by the way!

I will never complete the full set. There are 335 different Signing Bonus's in the Beckett Checklist. There are well over 100 that I have never seen a picture of let alone see come up for sale. A bunch of these are numbered less than /10 and there are several players that have different variations that are numbered /10 or less. Jeff Bagwell has 4 different versions and each are limited to /5. Not to mention I doubt I will ever be able to afford the likes of Ruth, Cobb, Wagner, Walter Johnson, Eddie Collins, Grover Alexander, etc.

Just got these in today. Some of these completes the variation run for me. I already had a the Betemit, but I picked this one up because of the serial number. I now have both the white and grey versions serial numbered 50/250.

and then this nice HOF'er. This is the first time in 10 years that I have even seen the white version. It goes nice with the grey version that is in my signature.

These will probably be the last ones I add for a while unless I find something that blows me away. We are expecting our second child and she is scheduled to be here in a little over 2 weeks. With that here are my latest pickups bringing my total to 61.

# 69/100

# 10/75 grey
