all that glitters is not gold

just another cardboard abomination from 2008 tristar signa cuts
that i had to add to my steve garvey collection. this one is a gold parallel, and features a mutilated 1985 fleer superstar special card of the garv and goose gossage. this is fool's gold, but i can't resist.

i have saved a few signed cards from potentially becoming tristar fodder in the past few months as well, adding these cards to my non-certified autograph collection:

1983 fleer rick monday
1986 topps pedro guerrero
1981 fleer don stanhouse, 1989 upper deck ricky horton, 1990 topps debut mike munoz, and 1992 fleer ultra brett butler
1982 topps kmart maury wills
1982 topps kmart steve garvey
1982 donruss steve garvey (diamond kings)
1975 topps jeff burroughs/steve garvey (1974 mvps)
1984 fleer steve garvey
1984 topps ralston purina steve garvey
1985 leaf steve garvey
1986 topps quaker steve garvey
1990 pacific legends steve garvey
and finally, a 2015 theautographcard.com steve garvey
that is upside down, no matter how you look at it
that last one might actually look better as a tristar signa cut!

  2. "Mutilated autograph" doesn't have the same ring as "cut autograph," but it's way more appropriate in the case of that TriStar Garvey. Yikes.

    1. that brett butler card in the post would also make for a nice crotch graph signa cut. that should be a subset!

  4. Fool's Gold. I like it. That 82D DK Garvey is awesome. Always enjoy seeing singles from that subset signed.

  5. Is that a blue pen in your pants or are you just happy to sign for me?
