How did you get Yashin and Sivori? This is so cool!
Thanks! I guess I was just lucky regarding the replies from Di Stefano and Eusebio, as they sadly died shortly after. I bought Yashin (he was invited in Germany in 1978 and signed some photos at an event dedicated to him) and made some exchanges for Sivori with someone from Torino, the town where he played. Until last month I had 4 Sivori autographs - all from Torino collectors, but in the end I just kept this one. For me it was difficult to find someone that has his autograph outside of Italy - as he died 10 years ago and autograph collecting was not so popular in the 60's and 70's (when he was an active player) as it is now.
Cool. I hope to get Karl-Heinz, I sent a request to Bayern last year but no reply yet. Thanks!
You will, he is a very good signer. Good luck!
