The word "loaded" quickly comes to mind when reviewing this multi-sport and non-sport autograph collection of 67 items. That's because those who have provided the autographs are Hall of Famers, major movie stars, and important celebrities such as a former U.S. President. Signature strength ranges admirably ("7" to "10") and the materials are generally crisp. The great majority are 3-1/2" x 6-1/2" index cards in assorted colors, and a small number are trading cards, photo cards, or cuts.
