And I still got things to talk about, like Bill Gadsby here. I bought this 1963-64 Parkhurst card at The National last month.
I bought this card after I met with Gadsby to get his autograph on several other cards and photos; otherwise, I would have seriously contemplated getting this card signed. Yes, it might seem like a waste to "ruin" a nice vintage card like this. But I could picture how a blue Sharpie autograph would really compliment the American flag.
Question: If you had this old card ahead of time, and were meeting with the player, would you get it signed?

I think you could have bought 3 new computers for price of a Orr rookie... Crazy how much they go for.
But to answer your question, that Gadsby is so pretty, so perfect and uncluttered, I am not sure if I'd get it signed. That's a tough call. What's his signature like? if he writes small, hand him a fine point sharpie.
I'd have gotten it signed - why not? I have the Stasiuk from that set with an on-card auto and it certainly doesn't impact the set negatively. I have the Geoffrion signed, too, but I'm not convinced yet who actually signed it.
If the set is for yourself and not something that you need PSA/DNA certfied, go for it.
Besides, those cards aren't impossible to find in good shape. You could get another one if it really mattered.
To answer your question - that´s a real dilemma. I had to solve the same question, as I grabbed a really nice vintage card of former Slovak hockey star, Jozef Golonka, and I could ask him to sign this card (we both live in the same city and as a reporter, I have met him multiple times in TV). I didn´t do it till now, because, I don´t know, I´ve got some apprehension to these cards, but maybe I´ll change my mind later :-)
I thought this was interesting enough to post about. I'd still have gotten the Gadsby signed, though.
I would, especially if you collect FOR YOURSELF and not to move the card in the future.
