When I was a kid I wrote to players via team addresses I got from a magazine. Signers included Earl Campbell, Lynn Swann, Gorman Thomas, Ken Singleton. The Campbell was on a 79 Topps card I sent. Even though the cards had minimal financial value at the time, my biggest concern with sending cards was not having them returned. Irrelevant to $$, it was a prize to pull the card of a star like Walter Payton and you didn't want to lose it.
