Award winner adds - Cy Young Award

2001 UD Legends of NY Don Newcombe #4 - 1956 National League Cy Young

1983 O-Pee-Chee Pete Vuckovich #375 - 1982 American League Cy Young

1984 Donruss LaMarr Hoyt #488 - 1983 American League Cy Young

Featured autograph - Sparky Lyle

I picked up a certified autograph of the 1977 American League Cy Young Award winner to add a 'wrinkle' to my award winners collection - Lyle was the New York Yankees relief ace during a time when closers got into a lot of games and pitched in multiple innings to choke off rallies and close out games.

Featured autograph - Mike Scott

I picked a certified autograph of the former Houston Astros pitcher and 1986 National League Cy Young Award winner for $4 - I knew Scott mostly as a junk wax guy, but the pitcher had a five-year run as an ace quality pitcher with the Astros in the mid 1980s before injuries presumably led to his retirement.

Featured autograph - Steve Stone

I picked up a 2005 Donruss Leather & Lumber Lumber Cuts Stone for $3 - I've known him mostly as the long time TV color guy with the Chicago Cubs and also the Chicago White Sox, not really as a MLB pitcher who was awarded the 1980 American League Cy Young as a Baltimore Orioles pitcher.

I would have never thought about picking up a card like this but I've been trying to add some wrinkles here and there for my award winners collection - maybe chase down the occasional certified autograph and/or memorabilia card for more of the rank-and-file guys as opposed to the more notable award winners [who command a premium for their better autograph / memorabilia cards].

I do remember getting a random card signed by Stone in-person years ago - he was signing with some pen [either ballpoint or some weak pen that wasn't a Sharpie] that didn't stick to the card surface at all.

I also saw him sign randomly at some other point, maybe four or five years ago - though I never bothered to get him to sign a specific card.
