Reds IP Auto Collection - D

Sticker autos? Phooey and pshaw. Dig that pen right into the meat of the cardboard. Let it scratch, stain, mar, and destroy. Let the ink ooze down onto our fingertips. Allow the deep baritones of the 'here ya go, kid' resonate in your soul.

So, uh, anyway. Here's last name D of the IP Reds auto collection. Adam Dunn is my dude. Still need to post more cards of his. Why do I have 27 Gookie Dawkins autos? The world may never know. Eric Davis, Kal Daniels, Rob Dibble, and The Big Donkey are the standouts. That '59 Walt Dropo is a poorly made custom, which is why no one else wanted to buy it.









Auto count: 92
Unique Reds: 29
Biggest name: Eric Davis
Current roster: Elly, no, but I do have a factory auto of Blake Dunn
Oldest Card: Ted Davidson - 1968 Topps
Oldest Player: Walt Dropo (Rookie Year 1958) 
Quantity champ: The Gookster (27), runner-up Adam Dunn (16 + 9 non-Reds not pictured)
Missing autos I want the most: Elly de la Cruz, Delino DeShields Jr.
Crispest sigs: Jack Daugherty, Mariano Duncan 

Go Redlegs

  1. Gookie? Awesome name. Never heard of him though. Not sure if you've ever used the category "lazy autograph". Leon Durham's signature would get my vote.

  2. Durham's sig comes into focus when you tilt your head 45 degrees to the right
