Joe Theismann & Ken Anderson

Who: Quarterbacks Joe Theismann & Ken Anderson

Team: Washington Redskins & Cincinnati Bengals

Card: 1983 Topps '82 Passing Leaders

Acquired: TTM (Theisman - 13 Days) (Anderson - 11 Days)

Comments: My first attempt at a dual autographed card through the mail went to a pair of the most consistent signers in football - Joe Theismann and Kenny Anderson.

I've received returns from both in the past - a pair of cards from Joe last year and a '79 Topps from Kenny Anderson - one of the first requests I ever sent out. It was cool to get both of these great quarterbacks on a single card - in less than a month, no less!

When I sent to Ken, I also included this '81 Topps which he signed beautifully. Since the Bengals were in white that day, the signature really turned out well.

This '83 Topps is the second dual card I've completed. The other card was completed on two separate in-person signings by former Reds Lee May and George Foster.

George Foster & Lee May

Who: Outfielder George Foster & First Baseman Lee May

Team: Cincinnati Reds

Card: 1976 Topps RBI Leaders (#3)

Acquired: In Person, Reds Hall of Fame & Museum (Lee May - 4/26/09) (George Foster 6/6/09)

Comments: This is the first dual card I've ever completed, and it's a neat one for a Reds fan. Of course, you have current Red at the time, George Foster on the card. But, former Red Lee May was the RBI leader for the American League in 1976, playing for the Baltimore Orioles. Oh... how many RBIs did they have? Right... Lee May with 109 and George Foster with 121. The Reds Joe Morgan was second behind Foster with 111, still outpacing the American League leading May.

The card was signed at two different times, but at the same place, the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum. Lee signed this the same day he also signed this card for me. George signed the card at the Hall of Fame this past Saturday before the Reds game.
