Bidding

You don’t often see complete signed sets come to auction, but that’s exactly what you are getting here. It’s a 1982 Donruss Baseball complete set with 653 cards, all with perfect signatures from every player and nearly every possible combination of players in the set, including multi-player cards. An ambitious project to tackle, 29 years in the making, autographed sets like this do not come along very often. Complete signed sets are almost never seen and are noteworthy for their difficulty in putting together. To attempt to put this set together today would require a significant investment which would be many times the opening bid. All cards have been front-signed, with most in blue felt tip by their subjects, with scripting on each card projecting “8-10” quality. The cards themselves are NM-Mint. This lot is loaded with Hall of Famer signatures, star players and difficult to obtain signatures due to a player’s reluctance to sign, the player having moved away to a foreign country or the player having passed away. Just the tip of the iceberg means it includes: George Brett Diamond Kings, Ozzie Smith DK, Pete Rose DK, Rod Carew DK, Gary Carter DK, Dave Winfield DK, Tom Seaver DK, Carlton Fisk DK, Fergie Jenkins, Ozzie Smith, Danny Ainge, Willie Stargell, Bobby Murcer, George Brett (PSA/DNA), Carlton Fisk, Don Sutton, Frank Robinson, Yogi Berra, Pete Rose, Rod Carew, Jim Palmer, Jim Rice, Mike Schmidt, Joe Charboneau, Johnny Bench, Rickey Henderson, Tom Seaver, Tom Lasorda, Gary Carter, Steve Howe, Dan Quisenberry, Robin Yount, Pride of the Reds (Bench and Seaver), Cal Ripken Jr., Eddie Murray, Billy Martin, Nolan Ryan, Bronx Bombers (Jackson and Winfield), Phillies Finest (Rose), Carl Yastrzemski, Paul Molitor, Steve Carlton, Andre Dawson, Rollie Fingers, Dennis Eckersley and Sparky Anderson. All of the signatures are pre-certified by PSA/DNA. PSA/DNA was unable to authenticate the signatures on the following cards: Carl Yastrzemski, Bronx Bombers, Reggie Jackson, Nolan Ryan DK, Carlton Fisk DK, Frank Robinson, Jorge Bell, Pete Rose, and Danny Goodwin.
