A new project for my son who will be born May 4th!!

A couple of months ago I got to thinking. One day when I am long gone, my son, who will be born May 4th if all goes according to plan, will inherit my run of Topps sets from 1955 to present. These are not all complete sets but from 1968 on they are and the rest are at least 80 percent complete. Hopefully he will take care of these and have just as much fun looking through them as I have over the years.



A lot of people at work and friends of mine who inquire about my baseball card collection often ask me how many autographs I have. Sadly, as of a couple months ago, you could count on one hand how many I had. So, I got to thinking, wouldn't it be cool to start an autograph collection for my son? I thought about this for some time. There are several autographed cards out there but how do you know you are getting real autographs and not fakes? Since my favorite brand of modern cards is Topps Heritage, and every Topps Heritage autograph is certified by Topps to be a "real one", I decided to start collecting the blue version of these.



In a matter of a couple of months, I have managed to buy, sell, and trade my way up to 40 different autographs. There are exactly 474 different real one autos, so I am almost 10 percent there.




So now, I have two long term goals: 1) Complete my run of Topps sets from 1955 to present and 2) Complete the Topps Heritage blue ink Real One autograph 474 card set. I know that these goals are huge undertakings but I am in this for the long run. My hopes are that when my son is around 13 or so, he will truly appreciate the collection I have gathered over the years.




My progress on my Topps sets can be checked here and let me know what you think!
