Sat down tonight, using baseball reference and my memory and built a Dodger autograph wantlist dating from 1950-1989. I care less about the commons from 1990-Present, although I may do the same thing as well.
As a preview, I am only really missing 34 deceased players and maybe another half dozen of the key/tough players who ever played a game in that time frame, but there are a couple real toughies!! I need to verify a few of these, as I may actually have a couple and I just forgot. The rest are players who played 1-2 years at most, many who don't even have cards.
Total needed = 126
Not too shabby for a 50 year period of one of the most popular teams in baseball!
1950s
Frank Kellert (D)
Bob Darnell (D)

+20 other deceased common players
+16 living common players

I'll add the other names later and maybe someone has a few of these. Would prefer Dodger cards or photos, but would take anything at this point.
