Nice! Who?

Richie Ashburn and Bob Gibson's are the only ones I have.

Do you have an Eric Wedge autograph?

Very cool about the Paige and Feller ones.

Is there a back story to the Paige one?
growing up in denver we used to go to a lot of denver bears baseball games..they were triple A for the expos at the time..they had an old timers game in the mid 70s and he was there but not playing but sitting in the stands near our seats..my dad told me to go over there and have him sign a ball...Bob Feller was at a baseball card show in the late 70s..

Yeah, it took a lot more research than the other drafts compiling a draft list.
