"Legendary" Players without Sig cards : Help needed

The Mad Hatter · Apr 4, 2014

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
