They look quite real and confusingly there are multiple versions of some players signatures, which is what led me to conclude they were real, but they seem to be printed!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-32274430541646215882018-04-26T17:42:16.672-07:002018-04-26T17:42:16.672-07:00Incidentally, I just picked up one of the mascot b...Incidentally, I just picked up one of the mascot bats that those Home Run Cards were redeemable for in 1979.

I'm not sure why but yeah, I don't have any above #64 either, they might be short printed or its a weird coincidence that neither of us have found them.<br /><br />I have 51 and as Dave says the picture is cool!
