Collectors Universe Forums - The Ultimate TTM quest -- yes it is Gary Carter related ~~~~ have 132 so far
OK
Here it is
This quest is by far the biggest TTM attempt I have ever thought of let alone actually try.
I am looking to get a dual signature of Gary Carter and the pitchers who surrendered each of his 324 homeruns.
The players will be sent a custom picture that I created which will have a bit of info on the HR.
This was started on April 25, 2008 and here are the current results.
324 Homeruns
21 Were hit off pitchers that have passed away
303 Possible signatures out there
132 so far (43.56%)
(as of 8-26-2008)

This one almost pushed my wife over the edge -- but after seeing the response so far all she can do is smile and shrug her shoulders

Did you maked the custom pictures yourself?
Are they pictures of the actual home run, a photo from that year, or just random pics?
That was probably the most time consuming task out of everything.
I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of them.

I will start loading tonight
They are about 5x6
If Gary hit the homerun in Canada there is a Canadian Flag in the background and if in the US an American one.
There is pic of a homeplate in the lower right corner with the number of the Homerun hit --- There is a picture of a Gary Carter card and a card of the pitcher that he hit the homer off of ~~~ The cards are in the style of the year he hit the homerun.
I included the pitchers name, his team, date and stadium
Also if Gary hit more than one in a game that is noted in the top right corner.
Thats about it

I have a Carl Morton signature that I would let go if the price is right.
It's on an Expos program page from the 70's that a cousin gave to me.

Quite an undertaking, but sounds like a lot of fun!
Unfortunately, I see Pete Vuckovich's name on there 3 times.
Getting that guy to sign is tougher than most.
Last year was the 25th Anniversary of the Brewers in the World Series and when St.
Louis came to town late in the season, they invited back all of the players from the '82 team.
Fans were able to get autographs from all of the players in attendance.
Everyone was there.
Don Sutton, Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Gorman Thomas, Ted Simmons and on and on...and they all signed free autographs for an hour for everyone in attendance.
Vuke was there but did not make himself available for autographs for the fans.
I've never tried, myself, because I've heard horror stories about him berating fans who ask.
That said, he's front office guy with the Pirates organization, so that might be a place to start.
Sorry for the doom & gloom...but I truly hope he does sign for you!
