Glad you enjoy the collection! I truly love going after these Mystery Cuts cards because the checklist was seemingly endless and you never know what crazy or rare auto will surface next. The redemption process ended well over a decade ago and I still get blown away with new cards popping up.

Archibald Cox: American legal scholar who served as U.S. Solicitor General under JFK and as special prosecutor during the Watergate scandal.
Parry O'Brien: American shot put champion that won two gold medals and a silver medal in the Summer Olympics. I originally received this card as a redemption from Upper Deck back in 2010 and they had me send it back after I mentioned it was unnumbered (they said it was supposed to be a 1/1). 13 years later it popped up on eBay and I had to have it back (still the only unnumbered Mystery Cuts card I have ever seen).
Mel Torme: Grammy Award winning musician, singer, composer, arranger, drummer, actor and author. He composed the music for "The Christmas Song".

Agreed. It's a unique premise that resulted in such a wide-ranging set of signers. They hooked me early on and I'm still picking up fascinating cards.
