Who: Pitcher Bill Gullickson

Team: Cincinnati Reds

Card: 1987 Topps

Acquired: Private Signing

Comments: Once I started my little '87 Topps Reds Project, I soon found out that Bill Gullickson would be one of the tougher autographs to obtain. Thanks to a private signing on SportsCollectors.net, I was able to get Bill's '87 Topps signed nicely and added to the collection. Nice!

Bill didn't pitch for the Reds for long - all of 1986 and part of the '87 season, but had a pretty good career. He even left to pitch in Japan for a short period before returning to MLB again.

I don't know about you, but I would want to play in Japan too.

Who: Outfielder Andre Dawson

Team: Chicago Cubs

Card: 1987 Topps Traded

Acquired: TTM 2/2 3/19/2010 (25 days)

Comments: 1987 was the first season Andre spent with the Cubs. While he had an MVP season that year, his '87 Topps Traded card didn't live up to his stellar season. Andre's graph does though. Check it.

Who: Second Baseman Brandon Phillips

Team: Cincinnati Reds

Card: 2009 Topps Heritage

Acquired: TTM 1/1 3/17/2010 (22 days)

Comments: Brandon's another great signer on the Reds roster. I've been wanting to get this one signed for the 2009 Topps Heritage Reds set, but every-time I had an autograph opportunity with Brandon, I didn't have it with me! Nice to get it through the mail this spring.

Who: Pitcher Jim Merritt

Team: Cincinnati Reds

Card: 1972 Topps

Acquired: TTM 1/1 3/22/2010 (160 days)

Comments: Another great addition to the Reds '72 Topps Project. Jim Merritt pitched for the Reds from 1969-72, having some of the best seasons of his career with the young Big Red Machine. He was even a 20 game winner in 1970, helping the Reds get to their first World Series appearance in 19 years.

Great looking card and the pen signature really enhances the vintage look of the card. Gotta love those stirrups, too! Perfect length right there.

Who: Pitcher Matt Maloney

Team: Cincinnati Reds

Card: 2009 Topps

Acquired: TTM 1/1 3/22/2010 (26 Days)

Comments: Matt is a solid, young left-handed pitcher for the Reds. He was in contention for the fifth starter spot this spring training, but looks like he's a long shot at this point. It's been a hotly contested position between him, 2009 Reds first round pick Mike Leake, Travis Wood and Aroldis Chapman. He may be out of the running at this point, but I have no doubt we'll see him up with the big league club during the 2010 season - it's great to have a left handed starter in the mix.

Matt's a great TTM signer, just like a lot of the Reds. They take care of their fans!

Who: Outfielder Jonny Gomes

Team: Cincinnati Reds

Card: 2009 Topps

Acquired: TTM 2/2 3/4/2010 (9 days)

Comments: The second of two cards that Jonny signed for me through the mail during spring training. The other was a sweet little Topps 206.

Who: Hall of Fame Outfielder & First Baseman Stan Musial

Team: St. Louis Cardinals

Card: 2008 Goudey

Acquired: 1/1 Private Signing

Comments: Yeah, you know, there are just some autographs you have to have in the collection. This one goes without saying - Stan "The Man" Musial, one of the greatest to play the game.

I waffled a bit about what to have him sign. I do love getting signatures on any of the Goudey sets, but a vintage card of Stan would have been great. Since I didn't have any vintage featuring Mr. Musial, I went ahead and sent a card that I already had and really like. It will look great next to a few of the other Hall of Famers I have on 2008 Goudey cards.

Stan's signature isn't quite what it once was, but that's totally okay. He's getting up there in age - he'll be '90 this November, so it's understandable. I hope that he still has some great years ahead of him. Baseball could use a few more guys like Stan.

Who: Pitcher Jeremy Guthrie

Team: Baltimore Orioles

Card: 2009 Goudey

Acquired: TTM 2/2 3/10/2010 (14 days)

Comments: This the second of two cards that Jeremy signed for me. The other is a Goudey as well. This one came out particularly nice with the black marker on bright, contrasting colors. Like the other one, this card took a little beat of a beating during it's visit with the USPS. No matter though, great return for the collection.
