Dick Butkus’ rookie card is in the 1966 Philadelphia set alongside fellow Hall of Famer Gale Sayers. Recently, I made a donation to his foundation via his website and the next day his son called to thank me and let me know that his dad would be happy to autograph a card for my collection. I purchased a raw card on eBay and sent it in a bubble mailer with a blue sharpie. The card turned out amazingly!
Currently there are only 83 autographed 1966 Philadelphia Dick Butkus rookie cards in the PSA registry.
