I'm pretty sure Mehmet Okur has only 1 autograph card, from 02'03 Bowman Signature. The set that had autograph cards come in a sealed enclosed case from Topps, which were called 'uncirculated'. Wish I had a pic of it to show.

I actually have a Charlie Ward autograph for my NYK pc...it's the only auto I know of him...

Mehmet Okur... beckett has 3 cards listed. I remember that guys last name, but don't ever remember him playing.. beckett lists the 02-03 you mentioned + parallel & 2004-05 E-XL ConnEXions Autographs #11 Mehmet Okur#{Hedo Turkoglu.

So far Okur is the first person found with the lowed number of different autos... excluding those players that never signed certified autos..

Really, you don't remember Memo Okur? Prior to his injury, which has caused him to play very little these past 2-3 seasons, he was a very nice player for the Jazz. I think even he was an All-Star one year. I always hoped my Knicks would acquire him somehow, I loved his game. Big man that could spread the floor, even has 3-pt. range and can bang. Then he got hurt and has pretty much been forgotten. Another good player from Turkey..

By chance, does it have a break down of which company the autos are from? Such as Topps, Fleer, Panini, UD etc. etc.?

Amos Alonzo Stagg - HOF 1959 (first ever HOF inductee group) - only 4 1/1 auto cards...

So far he beats everybody on limited autos.. he was actually famous for football, not basketball. Google his name. His sports career is an interesting read.

I think Kevin Johnson has a very few Auto too.
Some others off the top of my head are Charles Barkley, Rasheed Wallace, Latrell Spreewell, and Phil Jackson.

RE: WHICH PLAYERS ONLY HAVE A FEW AUTO CARDS? - jpleazme805 - 12-30-2011

Hopefully, Phil Jackson signs more autos & not just with Kobe... would like to see a few by himself, as a coach and player..

Another Laker to add to those that only have a few autos... Didn't know who this guy was until today.. Was able to pick up a Chronology "letter" auto of him.

Vern Mikkelsen - 17 AUTOS

Mikkelsen played with George Mikan and Jim Pollard in the frontcourt of the Minneapolis Lakers. The Lakers won four NBA titles during Mikkelsen's career. Mikkelsen played in six NBA All-Star Games and was named to the All-NBA Second Team four times in his career.

Mikkelsen ended his career after ten seasons in the NBA in 1959, having played in 798 of a possible 800 games. He finished his career with 10,063 points scored and led the NBA in both personal fouls and disqualifications for three straight seasons. Mikkelsen still holds the league record for career disqualifications with 127.

Mikkelsen was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1995 along with Laker coach John Kundla.

In 2002, during halftime of a Lakers/Timberwolves game, Mikkelsen and fellow Hall of Fame teammates George Mikan, Slater Martin, Arlee Pollard (widow of Jim Pollard), Clyde Lovellette and Coach John Kundla were each presented with championship rings. The Minneapolis players received the same rings provided by the NBA to the champion Los Angeles Lakers that same year.
