"Legendary" Players without Sig cards : Help needed

[The Mad Hatter]

Hi all,

As a lowly commons collector, I often don't know which players have a signature card.

I have been challenged to find TEN modern age players who probably deserve a signature card.

I have six already.

I will give names of FIVE here, and people can suggest another FIVE.

The FIVE already noted are:
* Steve "Blocker" Roach (Balmain)
* Wayne "Junior" Pearce (Balmain)
* Ron Coote (Souths / Easts)
* Andrew "ET" Ettingshausen (Cronulla)
* Eric "Guru" Grothe (Paramatta)

I am thinking - retired (preferable), one club man (beneficial, but not essential), played State/SoO footy, played for Australia, played in a Grand Final (not necessarily won one).

I have a soft spot for Greg Florimo, but I think he has one of those 1996 Dynamic sig cards, as does Brandy Alexander and 18 others. I'd also like a Hollywood Hartley, Bill Harrigan or Tony Archer sig card some day.

Remember - can't have a series released signature card.

Debate and suggest away.

However, don't just throw up a name. Explain why the particular player is a legend AND why they really should have a schmick signature card.

Come 5pm Sunday 6th April, discussion closes and I'll be taking what's here and running with it.

I'd love a signature card from either Royce "2 tries in a grand final" Simmons or an Mark "MG" Geyer signature card. Both Penrith Club Legends.

Funnily enough I did mention a set like this to a certain company but they responded saying they already do legends signatures...one more modern and an older one.

There would be a massive market for a club legends type signature set....so many good players to choose from and many would sign fairly cheaply too.

I guess it's all about someone putting in the effort to want to do a set like this.

Cheers
Matt

Personally, I've always wanted to see a complete Kangaroos, NSW SoO and QLD SoO set - where players number is the card number.

And every five years, the next batch of card numbers comes out.

Icing on the cake would be to have a master set signed by living rep players.

Adam MacDougall - my all time favourite player along with Joey.

Played for NSW and Australia, is a World Cup, Ashes and Origin winner. Think he may be the only winger to ever get MOTM in an Origin, or at the least one of a very select few. Won two grand finals. Newcastle's all time top try scorer at the time of his retirement. Also holds the record for most tries in a single game at the club (four). Played first grade for 17 years. Newcastle's oldest ever first grader.

And all this after nearly dying from a blood clot on his brain at the age of 21.

We need an official sig from him!!!

2 players who don't fulfill your first requirement (one club player) but fulfill your other two requirements.
Petero Civoniceva and Glenn Lazarus

Sorry my bad Glenn Lazarus has a signature in the 1996 Signature Gold Acetate Water.

Lockyer.....

Don't know about 1996 but do know Greg Florimo has a series 1 1995 Force 5 signature and Greg Alexander has a 1995 series 2 Playmakers signature.

Lockyer.....

Nah - Slater. We need a Slater auto.

[Dragon_Fire]

Matt cooper
David Peachy

Petero Civoniceva

Does that CShow Wayne Pearce signature card count?

It's debatable. Wasn't really commonly available to collectors. But I'm happy if you guys and gals say it does and I won't include it.

 

[GiRDS-]

Cooper Cronk. - He wont sign one though ahah
Justin Hodges
Jamie Lyon

those would be my 3 who are currently still playing

I wouldn't classify it as a "series released" signature card

Minichello and Willie mason got sig cards?

Minichello and Willie mason got sig cards?

Willie Mason has two. A Future Force and a case card.

I think Mini might have had a Future Force card as well.

EDITED : Should be retired - not essential, but beneficial.

HAZEM EL MASRI
Most Points - 2,418 (160 tries, 893 goals)
Most Points in a season - 342 (16 tries, 139 goals)
Triple Centurion 316 games (club record)
Plus has many many more records and stats..
He played a game for NSW and Aus too
Personal I think he deserves a signature card the most, but this is just my opinion

I am thinking - one club man (beneficial, but not essential), played State/SoO footy, played for Australia, played in a Grand Final (not necessarily won one).

Going by this criteria, I can only think of two for my club - Gary Belcher and Jason Croker. Not only does Croker comply with the criteria you listed, he is also 300+ gamer and the club's highest try scorer.
