The Joy of a Completed Page, 1987 Fleer

Here is a little change of pace. I have been meaning to post this page for over a month now and here it finally is.

Here is the tally.

Game: 5.5 [2.5 at Kauffman Stadium (Jacoby, Salas, Seitzer), 2 at Minute Maid Park (Willis and Skinner), 1 at Franklin Covey Field (Salt Lake City; Venable)]
TTM: 1 (Moyer)
Signing: 1 (Tartabull)
Willie Wison Classic: 1 (Wilson)
The Great Orioles Autograph Project: 0.5 John Stefaro and Thank You Ryan!

The Joy of a Completed Page, 1988 Topps

Here is another page that has been filled for over six months that I am just posting. This one actually has some twenty-year old autographs in it.

Here is how it breaks down.

TTM: 3 (two in the late '80s and one semi-recently)
Game: 2 (one at Lewis and Clark Park (Sioux City, IA) and one at Rangers Ballpark)
Padrograph: 1
Collective Troll: 1
Contest: 1 ('88 Topps Blog)

The Joy of a Completed Page, 2002 Topps

I had a ton of help completing this page. Thank you Paul and Rod.

Paul's Random Stuff: 3
Padrograph: 3
Game (Wichita Wingnuts): 2
Royals Fanfest: 1

Sure, three of the cards are from the traded set, but they all look the same to me.

The Joy of a Completed Page, 1992 Donruss

Here is a page that has been completed for half a year now, so better late than never.

Here's the breakdown.

TTM, all from the '90s: 4
Padrograph: 2
Royals Fanfest: 1
Game (Royals): 1
Royals Caravan: 1?

It only took me eighteen years to get nine cards from this set signed.

The Joy of a Completed Page, 1990 CMC

Here is a completed page of what may have been the first mass produced minor league set in the history of baseball cards. If you want to see more cards from this set, you have to check out The Greatest 21 Days. It is a blog that focuses exclusively on this set and it is worth checking out. I just wish that I would have found it earlier.

Here is the breakdown.

Game: 7 (5 at Kauffman Stadium, 1 at Rangers Ballpark, and 1 at Minute Maid Park)
TTM: 2, and both were in the early '90s

The Joy of a Completed Page, 1985 Topps

I may be sending out a lot of '81 Donruss TTMs lately, but I've also included a few '85 Topps with them. Because of that, I now have a full page (actually more than a full page now) of '85 Topps that are signed.

Here is the breakdown.

Game: 3.5 (2 at Kauffman Stadium, 1 at Camden Yards, and .5 at a Kansas State game)
Royals Fanfest: 2
TTM: 1.5
Royals Caravan: 1
Collective Troll: 1

The Joy of a Completed Page, 1986 Topps

When I did my first JoaCP, I said I wasn't going to show one from this set. Well, I got bored and changed my mind. Here it is.

I only have nine cards from the set signed (and yes, the Leonard card is from the traded set), so I figured that I might as well post this while they still fit into one page.

Here is the final tally for this sheet.

Game: 4
AAA game: 1 (Ready)- he signs his first and last name the same
Indy game (NL): 1 (Youmans)
Charity Game: 1 (Johnstone)- one of he few autographs across the face
NCAA: 1 (Law)- his signature looks a lot like his dad's
TTM: 2 ( Swift and Russell)-aka- Swift and Eastwood
Padrographs: 1 (Bochy)
College World Series: 1 (Fingers)- Hall of Famer
Spring into Sports: 1 (Leonard)- Probably has the most unique "D" in pro sports

The Joy of a Completed Page, 1975 Topps

I obviously stole this concept from Cardboard Junkie, but I couldn't help it. Plus, my joy is a little different. I haven't obtained nine cards in order for a complete set. All I did was acquire nine autographed cards from a set. It's nothing spectacular, but it is still an accomplishment for me.

I look forward to doing this as I go on, but it will be limited to my latest autographs. Therefore, you will not be seeing '81 Donruss, '86 Topps, '87 Topps, '04 Bowman, or even '08 Topps since I have had more than nine autos for those sets for some time.

Also, I know that the Dennis Loenard card isn't really complete. But, that is about as good as it is going to get.

Here's the tally for the sheet.

3 TTM
3 Strosfest
2 Royals Caravan
