Hi fellow OCTers,

there have been a few queries as to how many sigs are out there of each colour sig of Glenn McGrath.
The only way to get a good idea is to look at it rationally and see if there is any logical explanation by way of the holographic sticker on the rear with numbering.
It is uncertain as to the exact number of blue, green and red sigs as they were done as some sort of joke and they weren't counted.
My suggestion is to reply with what numbers are on the rear of cards owned by us to determine any numbering consistency which may give a ball park figure.:lol:

If you wish to remain anonymous pm me your numbers and they can be logged in anon mode.:kick:

My cards: Blue 0329896 Green 0329695 Red 0329626

Lets see if we can clarify this puzzle

Happy hunting for those yet to score one of these great cards

regards Russell:thumbsup:

Update as of 27/11/2011

Based on the figures so far and making assumptions based on the fact that:
1. Andrew Downton S7 cards finish at 0329557 (until advised by another Source)
2. Ooh Aah Glenn McGrath would sign the cards with one coloured pen until he started signing the next group in a single coloured pen and so-on
3. the blue Glenn McGrath cards finished at 0329960 (until advised by another Source)

Rough calculations based upon the data provided:
0329557 S7 Andrew Downton
McGraths
0329598-0329684 – red
0329690-0329852 - green
0329878-0329986 - blue

Red signatures = minimum 86 maximum 131
Green signatures = minimum 143 maximum 192
Blue signatures = minimum 108+ maximum 133+

Happy to help Russ.

Mine are:

0329960 - blue
0329833 - green
0329598 - red
 
Thanks Brad,

the numbers appear to show already that the order of march in signing was red, green and then blue.
Further additions of numbers by OCTers may tighten up how many of each there are.
0329598-0329626 – red
0329695-0329833 - green
0329896-0329960 - blue
I have just had another look at my cards and found that the only other numbers within the 0329--- range were assigned to S7 Andrew Downton.
My card is 0329229 so anyone else with a higher Andrew Downton S7 number will narrow down the range so there is opportunity for more OCTers to be involved.
Interested in hearing from anyone with with Andrew Downton S7 between 0329229 and Glenn McGrath S13 red sig 0329598.

Good Stuff regards Russell

Thanks to Nazim and Darren the field has narrowed yet again.

0329532 S7 Andrew Downton

McGraths
0329598-0329684 – red
0329695-0329833 - green
0329878-0329960 - blue

It appears that there may be more reds than anyone thought!
Green may well be the lower in number?
More contributions may provide the answer..............

regards Russell
 
I find it amazing that Topps dont have this info somewhere when you can still get all the Cricket checklists off the Futera website.
 
Thanks Ron for your contribution to the debate.
Good to see that you have been keeping up with the McGraths LOL.
The next question is "has anyone asked the man kimself as to how many he signed?"
If anyone knows contact details I would be more than happy to write to him and ask the question.

regards Russell

Hello folks,

Based on the figures so far and making assumptions based on the fact that:
1. Andrew Downton S7 cards finish at 0329557 (until advised by another Source):kick:
2. Ooh Aah Glenn McGrath would sign the cards with one coloured pen until he started signing the next group in a single coloured pen and so-on:woot:
3. the blue Glenn McGrath cards finished at 0329960 (until advised by another Source):kick:

Rough calculations based upon the data provided:
0329557 S7 Andrew Downton
McGraths
0329598-0329684 – red
0329690-0329833 - green
0329878-0329960 - blue

Red signatures = minimum 86 maximum 131
Green signatures = minimum 143 maximum 192
Blue signatures = minimum 83+ maximum 127+

Thanks for the contributions so far as this gives us an idea already as to the extent of the sigs.
Obviously it is important to record the numbers at the end and start of the runs to narrow down the exact number of sigs per pen, with the sig of Andrew Downton also crucial to this equation.

Happy hunting guys

regards Russell
 
Great work here Russell! I have contacted Topps on numerous occasions in regards to the number of signatures per player for soccer cards. They don’t even bother replying to request such as that.

I do have a Gilchrist GU bat card numbered 6007115, Apparently there were 25 or 35 made with only 10 not being redeemed, anyone else like to share their number as to confirm the production run?
 
Great stuff Raj,

that was going to be my next project.
Mine is 6007118 which means more than what everyone thought.
I will start a new thread for future searches

plenty of challenges out there myth busters

please add any more information

regards Russell
