Donald Sutton

This guy was really Sutton on the mound.  One of the greatest pitchers of all-time, Don Sutton signed his 1966 Topps Rookie Card through the mail for $5!  It may be in rough condition, but I love my collection of signed Hall of Fame and Superstar Rookie Cards.  Thanks, Don!

Dagoberto Campaneris Blanco

Bert Campaneris completes the duo for a Bert & Ernie day!  The six-time All-Star and three-time World Series Champion signed a great pair of cards here: His 1965 Topps Rookie Card, where he is pictured as a member of the Kansas City A's, and his 1984 Topps card, showing him in his final season (1983), his sole season with the Yankees.  Thanks, Bert!

Swervin' Irvan

Ernie Irvan apparently signed one of these with a bleeding marker that was nearly dead, but then found a new sharpie to use.  With his 1988 Maxx Rookie Card included here, I'll take it.  Thanks, Ernie!

James Alvin Palmer

I bought this 1966 Topps Jim Palmer Rookie Card with the sole purpose of getting it signed.  It's not in good condition, but $10 later, it's a vintage signed Hall of Fame Rookie Card nonetheless.  This is the second time he's signed his Rookie Card for me, but I grew tired of the giant crease through the first one, which is an eyesore that this one does not have.  Thanks again, Jim!
