So Bacon asked about "tough Sigs" earlier in the thread. Steve Hovley from what I've gathered is quite likely #1 on the Brewers list (aside from the aforementioned Dan Thomas). He is not deceased but rather wants nothing to do with baseball or signing. Why, who knows? But if he has kids maybe one of them can get a book deal out of his story. It may have something to do with Steve's portrayal in Ball Four.
Anyhow I was able to find this nice little book by searching by former minor league teams
41 years ago someone misspelled Hovley as "Hovely" and 4 decades later that small mistake is apparently my gain as this did not show up under a traditional search to add a Hovley autograph to my collection. There are 3 seasons worth of Red Wings autographs in the book; each season having a "checklist" of who was obtained and who was missing.
All those with an "X" are present in the book (sometimes 3 times over)
(1976 is also in the book)
Somebody really put a lot of love and dedication into this thing. Each little page is neatly labeled (typed) with the player's name and in most cases the date of the signature
And at last...
$100 well spent IMO

That's awesome! Cutting it up for a custom or leaving as is?
That'd be a tough decision in my book...but then again I'm trying to do all Mets on cards

I prefer Brewers items but don't mind neutral index cards and the like. This one will stay as it is for now as I think the book as a whole is just a cool little look back into someone's summer months from those years. I may at some point remove the Hovley and have it slabbed as each page can easily be removed through the rings

Wow, I can't believe you are down to just one Mexican. Dessens is going to be the pitching coach of my hometown team. I am not there anymore but my brother can definitely help.

I could use him on a Mets card too
I don't think he has any =( or do you mean a custom?

That would be sweet, I haven't had any luck trying him TTM (to AZL I think?). And I'll have to check my lists, I'm sure a few of the guys I have could be upgraded

I have Mac Suzuki but he's in a Royals uni. You might have to go JSA or PSA/DNA for a neutral or Brewers one.
Why did he print KOBE on one?

Well it worked out. Dan Thomas index card purchased from Kevin Keating, consultant for PSA baseball signature authentications
I'm beginning to think 100% is actually doable

Wow, how many of those even exist? Thomas' story doesn't strike me as that of a guy who signed a ton of stuff.

It's a good question. I know two other guys who have one so they're out there just really limited based on such a short career. There was another on eBay maybe 4 years ago. Guy was probably bipolar amongst other things so I bet some days he was a great singer!
