The one-of-a-kind accumulation of signed cards includes 786 of the 792 card in the 1989 Topps set, with all the key cards arriving slabbed by PSA/DNA and everything else pre-certified by PSA/DNA. This is an immaculate set, with everything signed neatly in Sharpie and signatures from every player on every card, with neat twist of additional signatures from pictured players on team cards and checklists. For example, the Expos Team card has signatures from Tim Raines and Benito Santiago; Tigers Team card is signed by Alan Trammell, Mike Heath and Frank Tanana; Dodgers Team card is signed by Mike Sciosia and Orel Hershisher; Mets Team card is signed by Darryl Strawberry, Keith Hernandez and Kevin McReynolds; and A's Team card is signed by Mark McGwire and Walt Weiss. Checklists 1-132 and 133-264 are signed by Fay Vincent, Checklists 265-396 and 397-528 are signed by Bobby Brown; and Checklists 529-660 and 6l61-792 are signed by Cy Berger. Virtually all of the key singles are already slabbed by PSA/DNA, including Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux, Tim Crews, Eddie Murray, Don Mattingly, Dan Quisenberry, Kirby Puckett, Hank Aaron (Turn Back The Clock), Roger Clemens, German Gonzalez, Rey Quinones, Andy Allanson, Dennis Eckersley, Don Mattingly (AS), Wade Boggs (AS), Claudell Washington, Randy Myers, David Wells, Mike Diaz, German Jimenez, Eric Show, Bo Diaz, Cal Ripken, Barry Bonds and RJ Reynolds. All-Star and Turn Back The Clock (Lou Brock, Dwight Gooden, Tony Oliva and Aaron) subsets are signed also. Every card has been pre-certified by PSA/DNA. We should note that the Gil Hodges TBTC card is signed by Mrs. Gil Hodges and PSA/DNA was unable to authenticate the following singed singles: 322 Smiley, 350 Van Slyke, 519 Randolph, 540 Bo Jackson, 635 Randolph and 695 Fisk.
