As far as big name stars and tough, long-deceased players go, this collection of (200+) signed flats is one of the deepest and most exciting bundles we have had the opportunity to present. While a small percentage are trading cards, cuts, or album pages, the great majority are index cards. Overall, signature strength is outstanding, ranging ("8" to "10"), and the materials are all suitable for framed display.
