Perez-Steele HOF Postcard set is complete!
#1

Perez-Steele HOF Postcard set is complete!
So excited to get these cards back in the mail today! George Brett is the last autograph I need to complete the HOF postcard set. The Yaz belongs to my brother but I was nice and sent them in together!

My father began subscribing to Perez-Steele Galleries in the 1980's when he owned a baseball card and comic book shop and I've carried on his legacy.

Now the real fun begins, grading and authenticating 84 autographs from the HOF postcard set. I have all 15 series with the same serial number and I'm never breaking it up!

Will post more photos as I get them slabbed and authenticated.

Just curious, has anybody used the new Beckett Authentication service? Heard a couple of guys defected from PSA. Always up for trying something new!

Beautiful postcards/autos. Congrats.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Those postcards look so nice. That's got to be an amazing set. Congrats on the accomplishment.
I collect Hall of Fame baseball player cards and cards of current and retired superstars.

They were quite spendy autographs but I've never seen George Brett do a public appearance and a friend recommend I send them in to Tom Orr whom holds private signings. Looks great to me!

I missed out on a couple autographs over the years (Puckett, Stargell, Al Lopez to name a few) but have most of the major autos like Mays, Mantle, Aaron, Williams, DiMaggio, and Koufax.

The earliest, based upon card number, autograph I have is Carl Hubbell.

Probably the most enjoyable person I met was Rollie Fingers! He knew everything about Perez-Steele and collecting in general, plus he signed for free at a local card shop.

Really wish they would continue this set but understand Peggy's decision to close Perez-Steele Galleries after her husband's passing. I even have that card autographed by all three (Frank & Peggy Steele, and Dick Perez)!
A few more from the collection!

I can't fathom how nice having the set complete is. Congrats on the completion and I sure love the Ford & Mantle cards and autos. Again congrats on having it complete.

Here are a few more pics. Tom Seaver was also really cool and met him at a local card shop in Mill Creek, WA!
