The other of Wednesday's free signers at the National was Milt Wilcox. He wa supposed ti be at last year's show, but had to cancel. I wanted to get this 1971 Topps previously signed by Frank Duffy completed. The card looks great now that it is complete.
They called Wild Cards on Wilcox, so Jesse and I used them up to get some more cards out of the box. I got my well-worn 1972 Topps (left) and this sharp 1980 Topps (right) signed as well. Both turned out great.
Wilcox (b. 1950) played in the majors from 1970 to 1975 and 1977 to 1986 for the Reds, Indians, Cubs, Tigers and Mariners. He has a career record of 119-113 with 1,137 strike outs and a 4.07 ERA. He won the World Series with the Tigers in 1984.
I was glad to finally get some of my Wilcox cards (many of which I had pulled last year) signed and put away into my autograph album.
