2024 National Free Signer - Len Barker

Len Barker was a free signer at the 2018 National.  I got the cards I had at the time signed.  I had to search a bunch of my boxes to find some Barker cards for this year's National when I found out that he was signing.  The above 1985 Fleer turned out nicely.  There's also a lot of blue on this card, which is actually pretty cool.

Barker was nice, as he had been in 2018 also.  I only got the one card signed; I wasn't waiting around for them to call wild cards on him, but I believe they did.

2018 National Free Signer - Len Barker

I got a bunch of free signers at the National.  Another one of them was Len Barker.  The waiting in line helped me keep my budget in check, and I still came away with some nice stuff.  I ended up with several vouchers for Barker, so I got three cards signed.  The above 1979 Topps turned out really well.

I also got a 1980 and a 1981 signed by him.  Both look pretty nice.

Barker (b. 1955) played in the majors from 1976 to 1985 and 1987 for the Rangers, Indians, Braves and Brewers.  He had a career record of 74-76 with 975 strike outs and a 4.34 ERA.  He was an All Star in 1981.
