Hello everyone,
I'm slowly getting back into trading/actively collecting. I last actively worked on the 1999 Fleer Sports Illustrated Greats of the Game Autograph set in 2010 or so. Going to give it another try. The design and photography of these cards is what appealed to me originally. Most of the cards in this set are reprints of historic Sports Illustrated magazine covers. This set contains a nice mix of HOFers and fan favorite types who actually had very few cards during their playing or managing careers.

I have lots of certified autographs, GU and RC to trade. For some of these tougher needs, I have HOF autographs in my PC which I can offer, including GOTG autos from other years. I'm eventually building a new site and trade list threads. For now, let me know your needs and I'll see what I have to offer. Keep in mind that I last actively collected 12+ years ago. I have an extensive inventory from 1995-2010, with some vintage, but very little material newer than 2010.

When I last actively worked on this set, I had 60 of the 80 cards in this set (or, counting the 3 Reggie Jackson variations as separate cards, 82 cards). As I unpack, sort and confirm/document what I have, I will update these lists (hence the term likely need list...I may have a few of them already sitting in other boxes).

As my needs gradually become haves, I know the last few will be difficult to obtain. Hopefully I'm prepared for the quest!

Confirmed Have List (63/80): Agee Barfield Bauer Belinsky Blair Blue Bouton Boyer Brock Buckner Burroughs Campaneris Carlton Cepeda Clyde Dawson Evans Feller Fidrych Fingers Forsch Garvey Gibson Gossage Guidry Harrelson Horner Hrabosky Hrbek Jenkins John Jones Kaline Killebrew Kingman Koosman Kranepool Lee Lonborg Lyle McGraw Musial Nettles Niekro O'Neil Oliver Parker Perry Powell Rivers Roberts Robinson Rudi Schoendienst Skowron Slaughter Splittorff Torrez Walker Weaver White Williams Wills.

Confirmed Need List (17/80): Aparicio Banks Carter Foster Jackson Mathews Mays McDowell Petrocelli Podres Royster Ryan Santo Simmons Thomas Wynn Yastrzemski. I can also use a clean condition upgrade of the Bill Buckner auto.

11 Duplicates available for trade toward other needs: Agee Belinsky Blair Blue Campaneris Evans Garvey Harrelson Hrbek Jenkins Killebrew.

Thank you for looking. Please post or PM if you have anything from the above need list, or from similar theme autograph sets (Donruss Classics/Signature Significant Signatures, Greats of the Game, Sweet Spot Classics, Topps Archives, Topps ATFF, Topps Heritage, etc.), or buyback sets (Donruss Recollections, Topps Autoproofs, Topps Originals, etc.)

I've got Bouton, Oliver, and Parker. Scans in my Bench album here:

Got any Mike Schmidt autos/tougher parallels, inserts/oddball stuff? Tks, Jim

Thanks so much. I'll dig for some Schmidt cards. May not be enough to trade for these autos, but worth a try.

Great collection, I enjoyed seeing your album. We have similar interests. I also like Bowman/Topps Heritage, reprint autos, etc.

I posted a thread today with autos for trade. See if you can use anything there. Hope we can make a deal. Thanks, Rob.
 
Have a couple of heritage in my non hof flickr album. Also, have Banks, Carter, Slaughter in my unscanned pc. Looking for mlb hof on card autos in trade (pc cards would need an auto upgrade, but not necessarily the same player,)

Great hearing from you. Loved seeing the flickr album - brought back some great memories (and gave me a subtle nudge to get my collection organized and photographed/documented).

A few days ago, I posted an auto thread: https://thebenchtrading.com/threads/130-mid-high-end-baseball-autos-ft.483000/. Maybe there's something you'd like.

In terms of HOF autos...I recently got a Lee Smith Topps ATFF auto in trade, which I was planning to keep, but is available FT towards other needs. I can look through my PC to see what I can offer in trade. As I haven't actively traded in years, I may not have any HOF autos you don't yet have.

Separately, I didn't see Hank Greenberg in your HOF PC flickr folder. I have a bunch of his bat cards from 2001-04, including dupes, which are available in trade to you. To my knowledge, there have not been any Greenberg jersey/uniform cards.

Thanks for looking and welcome back! It was a LOT of fun taking the pics and seeing some cards I had not seen in a while. That's a small portion of my collection. I do have a Greenberg 2001 ud bat card (I usually try to get a gued and auto before I take photos, so hope to one day be able to afforn an auto) but may trade for others. What year is the Smith and what are your priorities on the greats autos?

What year/set are the Greenberg gued from?
