Cricket Signature Cards Complete List

[Pratyush]

Can we make a list of official authentic cricket signature cards with the number of each produced considering there have not been that many? Would be very helpful to collect.

Thanks.

ASCC mag has details of all checklists from the cricket sets released. Those provide details of the signature cards in each release, but no detail of numbers of each signature card released.

At least it's a start for your list...

 

[Pratyush]

That's a great starting point. I will come up with an initial list from that and people can edit and give more suggestions based on it.

Have made a nice checklist for myself now. Question - Were there any Signature Cards released before 1993-1994 in Australia or any where else?

Happy to be corrected on this, but I think the introduction of signature and insert cards for Australian released cards was first done by Select with its 1993 AFL series, and then NRL releases followed suite in 1994.

So that seems to be about the time within Australia across all sports trading cards - don't know about other countries.

I believe before that some slighty earlier cricket sets (stimoral gum??) left a designated blank area for an autograph, but that was on a DIY basis for collectors.

Others more wiser on such matters may be able to provide more insight.

You might also want to have a look at Nazimcricket's website, which has a lot of images of autographed cards and you may be able to cross reference your list to that.

Yeah, Nazim's site is a great resource. I keep going back to it several times in a week.

Appreciate the compliment. Don't forget, my site also has checklists for all card sets in my collection. I have also been meaning to put together a gallery of both signature cards and match worn gear for quite some time and have only held back due to limited diskspace. However, I have recently migrated my site to another webhost and this is no longer an issue. Will put up a link in the next day or so when I've completed this task.

The only signature card you MAY have missed is the Allan Border Buttercup card which is from the early 1990's.

 

[Pratyush]

I have listed that. Saw the card here a bit back. Love the card.

Here's the guts of my signature card gallery - all it now needs is some data entry and images of cards that I don't have in my collection ...

Navigation to the above page is via the Menu on www.nazimcricket.com via My Favourites > Official Signature Cards.

Will take a few days to update and will be very image intensive, but I reckon it will be handy for new collectors in particular

All Done! If anyone has an image of the Bradman 1993 gold seal signature card, that would be handy to add to the gallery. Don't think I've missed any signature cards. Let me know if you find something missing please.
