Mike D's 1986 Topps Traded TTM Auto Project

[Mike D.]

With the wrapping up of my 1985 Topps Traded TTM project (http://www.baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?106869-Mike-D-s-1985-Topps-Traded-TTM-Auto-Project) a few days ago, it's time to start the next project in the series...1986 Topps Traded!

I picked up a 1986 Topps Traded Set on eBay a little while back for $9.99, delivered. Unlike most of the sets I've worked though, the 1986 Topps Traded set actually has some value. It lists for $40 in Beckett. The set I have is a bit miscut top-bottom, though, and that makes it a great TTM project candidate.

The key cards in the 1986 Topps Traded set are (Beckett value):

11T. Barry Bonds XRC ($15)
20T. Jose Canseco XRC ($4)
24T. Will Clark XRC ($1.50)
40T. Andres Galarraga XRC ($1)
50T. Bo Jackson XRC ($5)
56T. John Kruk XRC ($1)

You can view the entire 1986 Topps Traded set (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/sets/86_tt/index.htm) on my Baseball Card Scans (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/sets/index.htm) site.

The first four cards, to get us started off:

1T. Andy Allanson (Front (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/sets/86_tt/html/1a.html)) (Back (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/sets/86_tt/html/1b.html))
2T. Neil Allen (Front (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/sets/86_tt/html/2a.html)) (Back (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/sets/86_tt/html/2b.html))

4T. Paul Assenmacher (Front (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/sets/86_tt/html/4a.html)) (Back (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/sets/86_tt/html/4b.html))

Andy Allanson has no successes, ever, on SCN, in 16 total attempts. We'll skip him.

Neil Allen has only an 18% success rate on SCN. We'll skip him, as well.

Joaquin Andujar is another guy that SCN has no successes for, ever (6 attempts). 0-for-3 so far.

Paul Assenmacher has a 73% success rate on SCN, but no successes since early 2011. He appears to have stopped signed. We'll pass.

Not a great start, but at least we got the ball rolling!

Scott Bailes has a 96% success rate on SCN, so we'll send a request his way.

Don Baylor also appears to be a solid signer, with an 84% success rate and recent successes. We'll send a request his way.

Steve Bedrosian only has one success on SCN, out of 37 requests, and that was way back in 2003. We'll pass.

Barry Bonds to nobody's surprise, I'm sure, is not a good signer. He has a 20% success rate on SCN with no successes since 2009.

Bobby Bonilla has an 88% success rate on SCN, with recent successes. We'll send a request his way.

Steve Boros is deceased. RIP.

Rick Burleson has a 79% success rate on SCN, but no successes since early 2010. He appears to have stopped signing, so we'll skip him.

Bill Campbell has a 70% success rate on SCN, but no successes since last summer. Appears he's stopped signing. We'll skip him.

Tom Candiotti has a 54% success rate on SCN, and no successes since 2010. Looks like another guy who has stopped signing.

Billy Hatcher has a 54% success rate on SCN and appears to be pretty hit or miss. I'll pass on him for now.

Dane Iorg has an 89% success rate on SCN, but a very spotty record since last July (one one success). We'll hold off for now and see if he's stopped signing.

Bo Jackson has a 33% success rate on SCN, but his actual success rate seems lower, as he apparently has done some private signings and occassional sends pre-printed photos. We'll skip him.

Cool project, there was a yard sale recently with a piles of traded sets for a buck a pop. Since most 80s stuff is dime a dozen this is a fun way to collect. I recall having good luck with Catfish way back in the day, will have to post my '71 topps

Thanks...these projects have been a lot of fun, and have been a great way to keep myself motivated to send out autograph requests.

As you mentioned, many of the traded sets are pretty cheap (for some, I pay more for shipping than the actual set) so it's an inexpensive and fun project!

Thanks for looking!
