Ysponder

Most of the unusual autographs in 2009 Topps Allen & Ginter probably get a “Who?” in response to them.

But there are some interesting inclusions besides Billy The Marlin.

(That’s right, the mascot for the Florida Marlins has a certified autograph card.)

But armed with a checklist — and just a little bit o’ Google — collectors will discover that there are all kinds of interesting cards to be found.

We’ll explore some of them later this week.

After we reel in a Marlin.

We couldn’t wait until later in the week to talk up some more unusual Allen & Ginter autographs.

There are some real interesting inclusions in this year’s set — besides the eight different Michael Phelps cards to be found.

Like this Isis Kyle autograph — she’s a professional bodybuilding champion. (Read more HERE.)

Or how about something really different — a horizontal A&G autograph of **** Fosbury, a high-jumper who is known for the Fosbury Flop?



See more images — just a small sampling of the unusual autographs tobe found of champions in several other sports — below.

                      
   







Perhaps it’s time that A&G is classified as a multi-sport set?
