1965 Topps Autographed Baseball Card Collection (38)(JSA)

Offered here is a collection of 38 autographed Topps baseball cards from 1965. Notable signatures include Tony Conigliaro, Al Kaline and Elston Howard. The signatures are done in various colored ballpoint pens and markers and rate a strong 7 on average. Accompanied by a LOA from JSA.

Offered here, as Lots #349 through #364, is the lifelong collection of autograph enthusiast Tim Gallagher. At a very young age, Tim and his friends started to write athletes with self addressed envelopes requesting their signatures. What started as a hobby, quickly tuned into an obsession. From 1968 to the present, Tim has amassed an incredibly unique and significant collection of athlete-direct autographs. We are pleased to present these to the collecting public for the first time.
