Today...

[houbb]

I've been trying to get this player since the early '70's, without any luck, until today...

Ron Blomberg 1/1 3 weeks (1976 Topps)
c/o home

Need less to say I was pretty darn exstatic when I opened this today. Thank you Mr. Blomberg!

Congrats Houbb!

I wonder why he wouldn't sign before???

And for the youngsters out there, I believe Blomberg is the first player to appear in a baseball game as a DH. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, Blomberg was (and is) the first DH in major league history. He has always been a tough sig. Even when he was playing.

Congratz tho... must be great to scratch him off the list.

Haven't had a chance to download the software or pick up the hook ups for the new (pre-owned) scanner yet.

Thank you, my friend. He started signing TTM back in the early '90's, I believe, for $25 a pop. Every now and then, I've noticed, he will sign without the fee.
