I've been on quite a hot streak recently in finding dirt cheap autographs at card shows and autographs have become the main part of what I've been looking for a shows. The most I paid for a single card was $6.00 for the Bob Cerv card which I probably would have gone higher for just for my love of the movie
61*. You may not remember but Bob Cerv was the roommate of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle during their run at Babe Ruth's record.

When I first picked this up I thought, "oh, my first cut autograph." But no, it looks to be a sticker that was made exactly to fit into this particular Obak card. I do enjoy "The Count" inscription which sometimes I read as "The Coconut" every once in a while.

In a recent article in Sports Collectors Daily,
Stale Gum wrote about the biggest Rookie Card flops of all time and
Todd Van Poppel topped the list. Nevertheless, I can proudly say I spent $3.00 on a Todd Van Poppel card in 2012 with this autographed card from 1996 Leaf Signature Series. Now, did Brien Taylor have any certified autographs?

Collecting Fausto Carmona autographs has become a nice little pastime seeing that Fausto Carmona is really
Robert Hernandez and is slowly making his way back to the big leagues.
