Even more the reason to get a whole load of them signed - good luck ! :)<br /><br />This Blyleven card is rollin' epic with the signature, skin-tight Pirates uni and the awkward pose. Great stuff!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150733476644721281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033273215489425714.post-63990312894923287832009-08-27T20:53:22.195-05:002009-08-27T20:53:22.195-05:00Blyleven is absolutely a HOFer.

Gaylord Perry (909) *<br /> 3. Fergie Jenkins (890) *<br /> 4. Tommy John (889)<br /> 5. Robin Roberts (876) *<br /> 6. Tom Seaver (864) *<br /> 7. Jim Kaat (854)<br /> 8. Early Wynn (844) *<br /> 9. Phil Niekro (844) *<br /> 10. Steve Carlton (840) *<br /><br /><br />That looks like a HOF list to me.skoormithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297504834792748549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033273215489425714.post-82831484867813082572009-08-27T11:19:43.650-05:002009-08-27T11:19:43.650-05:00That's cool!
