Players who had their day in the sun long ago are remembered, with this collection of (525+) signed 1953-1969 baseball cards. The great majority are from Topps, though a small number of Bowman and Post Cereal issues are noted. Autograph strength ranges ("7" to "10"), and the cards are generally attractive, with most presenting in the VG to EX-MT range.
