Who is this? former Chicago Cubs pitcher Chuck McElroy
What is this? An autographed card from the 1991 Topps Stadium Club set
Where'd I get it? It came in a care package from Ryan of the Great Orioles Autograph Project last week.
Why is this so special? I wrote about Chuck McElroy before Christmas, when I posted a Leaf Signature Series card.
I love any cards from the 1991 Stadium Club set, possibly because they were all but impossible to find that year. It was a set with no autographs, no relics (they didn't exist yet), no parallels and no inserts of any particular note. Yet pack prices soared to the $5 mark (or higher) and the cards still sold out on the strength of the design and the photography.
I don't have many personalized baseball card autographs in my collection, and this is the only one made out "For Bill" (Coincidentally, my middle name is William.)
Thanks Ryan!

To Bill Brasky!
Ha, good one Zach. I honestly don't know the Bill that this card was made out to. I received it in a trade from someone else not named Bill. I'm glad that it's partially applicable to you!
