This is not something I received this month, but seeing the phantom Perez Steele cards on this thread reminded me of a phantom Marvin Miller HOF postcard I have in my collection. I came across this mock up of Miller's HOF plaque many years ago, and since I knew he wasn't going to be inducted before his death, I thought it would be cool to get him to sign it. I resized the photo and gave it a yellow background to match the modern day HOF plaque postcards, and mailed it off to him in NYC. I have 2 or 3 in my collection signed at different times, can't remember the exact number. The first time I sent to him, the Mitchell Report had just been released. In my letter, I mentioned how I was disappointed that so many of today's big stars were named in the report. Boy was that the wrong thing to say! I received a note back from him written on three index cards ripping me a new one in a nice way. I'll post the note for you guys to see, if I can find it.
