You might say that I have a sweet spot for sweet spot autographs. Upper Deck hit it out of the park with these. The beautiful simplicity of having an autograph on a baseball with the convenience, ease, and aesthetic of a baseball card. How can you resist one of these of a top 3 player of all-time? Glad I got to meet him briefly in my teens and get a card (1961 Topps) signed by him as well.

Welcome to the Autograph Collecting Mantel Group! This group is all about the ink—whether you’re collecting on-card autos, signed memorabilia, or chasing in-person and mail-in autographs, you’ve found your people. From fresh-pulled rookie autos to vintage legends with the cleanest pen game, this is the spot to share, learn, and connect. Our goal is to build a fun, welcoming space for collectors at every level. Share your latest pickups, ask for authentication tips, talk through mail-in successes (and fails), and drop info on upcoming signings—both in-person and TTM (through the mail). You’ll find hobby news, signing announcements, mail day highlights, and plenty of discussion around pen types, photo choices, prep strategies, and more. We’re here for the stories behind the signatures just as much as the items themselves. Whether you’re a binder-builder, a slab-chaser, or just love getting a Sharpie in front of your favorite athlete—this group’s for you. Let’s keep things respectful, helpful, and collector-driven.
