Sean Thanks very much for the comments. I know that you deal in these types of cards as I have bought some signed 54 Topps from you on ebay so if you ever come across any 54 Bowmans let me know. Glad to see you joined up.

Fantastic additions Talmer. It's mind blowing how fast you've been able to get the set nearly completed.

Thanks for the comments Mark and Scotty. I can honestly say I have been lucky to get as far as I have in such a short amount of time. I was able to purchase a large amount of my cards from someone breaking up there near set, searched constantly for new places to purchase these cards and most of all been blessed to have the money to buy as many as I have. People don't realize how expensive these In Person/ TTM autographs are, just my last 2 updates have ran me just over $600. You guys that post your well wishes on a regular basis help make adding more cards even more enjoyable.

You definitely seem to have gotten lucky in finding some of the deceased players so quickly. Just searching for some more notable deceased ex-Buccos, I've been surprised at how infrequently some of the signatures pop up. With that said, I think nicely signed vintage cards are some of the nicest cards that can be found.

How did the Preston Ward signing go?

Re: 1954 Bowman Signed Set Thread *Updated 11/1* 84.8%!! Done

Went to Chantilly and picked up 4 more for my set bringing me up to 191/225 and got a lead on a few more I need as well as picking up an extra that will be traded for another I need. Wish I would have had some mroe cash on me because there was another tough one I needed that I didn't have enough cash on me but I got his phone and contact info to get that one.

Congrats on the new additions Talmer. Still can't decided what direction I want to take with my collection, ive basically given up on my 07' Topps Heritage set and might start picking up some random signed vintage instead of going for a specific set.

amazing, amazing, amazing. I've said it before, but this is such a cool thread - one of my absolute favorites. No drama, no fighting, nothing but great auto'd vintage cardboard. I can't wait to see what you post next.

I can't see the cards for some reason, but congrats on getting four more.

At home now: I can see the cards and they look great. Congrats again Talmer.

Re: 1954 Bowman Signed Set Thread *Updated 11/15* 85.3%!! Done

Ok I got this in yesterday from a trade on Net54 that I had worked for weeks on getting done including having to go buy a 1954 Rip Repulski autograph to trade for this one. Aloma was born in Havana, Cuba (My grandfather came to the US from Cuba in the 50's) and passed away in 1996 and this was a tough autograph to find as I hadn't seen one for sale in my 2+ years collecting this set so I'll take it stain and all.

+1 This quite possibly the most amazing set I have ever laid eyes on. When this set is done, it is going to be better than that one guys Yankee Auto poster piece for sure.
