Additions to my autograph collection - updated 9/19/16
I recently decided to start picking up autographs of top NBA players from years past. The reason is that I noticed how cheaply their autographs could be picked up for, especially compared to current stars. I picked up a bunch off eBay and at a recent card show. Since then I have been searching COMC for some deals. Here are my most recent pick-ups all from COMC and all were under $10 (and about half were under $5).

I also was considering getting autographs of former Slam Dunk contest winners, and I was able to snag this one for under $3.

Great stuff! I also just recently grabbed a Bailey Howell auto, he has a great signature.

RE: Recent additions to my autograph collection
I'm always amazed at how cheap some of the autos of the old alltime greats are.

Very cool pick ups.

Wo wears short shorts? Wes wears short shorts! I love these! I too have grabbed some autos on the cheap. I grabbed the Howell I mentioned (Preferred red) for a buck! If you are looking to trade check my org. I think I may have a few autos that I have picked up along the way.

COMC = www.comc.com
It used to be called Check Out My Cards, and then they changed the name because everyone called it COMC for short. It is one of the best websites for buying and selling cards. It allows you to buy cards and they store them until you are ready to ship with a single $3 shipping charge. If you haven't checked it out, you are missing out.

Wow $1 for a Bailey auto is sick. I thought I did good when I got it for $3 and change. I am open for trades, and will check your ORG and send an open offer. I have less than 1% of my collection in ORG though, so if you don't see anything you need in my ORG then let me know what you're looking for. Thanks

RE: Recent additions to my autograph collection
I picked a few more for under $2 each, which was just too good to pass up. Not big names, but still players I remember from the past.
