Comments: I wish I could remember where this card came from. It was either in a trade with someone recently... or I picked it up when I was a kid, wondering what the hell O-Pee-Chee was and why they were ripping off Topps designs. Speaking of design, '85 Topps is one of my favorites. I think the first few packs of cards I purchased as a kid were '85 Topps.

Once again, Joe really brings it with the signature. Throw in the crisp white home uni of the Reds, the high knee kick of joe's wind-up and his perfectly worn stirrups and black spikes you have a lot going right. Just great looking stuff. All around I give this card an "A". How about you?

Comments: 1981 Fleer - damn ugly. Joe resurrected this card from the junk pile by signing it. It will now proudly reside in my autograph binder an ugly duckling. The card is so bad and the signature is so good that is looks like the signature was printed on. I can tell you that it wasn't. It's just the card is that bad.

Card: 1987 Topps

Acquired: TTM 3/3 7/9/2009 (225 days)

Comments: Yes! Another Red from the '87 Topps set in the collection! This one took at while - 255 days - but, it's worth the wait. Nice surprise to have this sitting in the mailbox today. So, the Reds '87 Topps keeps rolling, albeit at a snail's pace. Joe was kind enough to sign three cards for me - all great ones too. More coming.

The card. Can Joe's hair in the photo be any more perfect? It's amazing. I dig the Adidas too. Rock on.
