Autograph Hound

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.

In retrospect, doesn't Fausto Carmona's autograph kinda look like "Roberto Hernandez"?
