I know that this sounds like a lot for fifty-eight autographs of guys who aren't even in the hall of fame. And guess what... you're absolutely correct! But can you really put a price on the entertainment and the challenge I received from building this set?
Plus... $517.17 included thirty-one extra autographs. One of them was a triple of Benito Santiago, which went into my San Diego Padres PC. But the other thirty autographs will either be sold on eBay or end up in my tradebait.
Here's a look at the thirty extras...

Today's question...
What would you do with the extra autographs?
Happy Monday and sayonara!
