I'm a Brooklyn Dodger collector of Cards and Memorabilia. A quick story
Back in the early 1990's I got ahold of Becketts players address book and decided to send a standard request to over 300 players with an index card enclosed and a return stamped envelope. I asked for an autograph and a favorite saying or quote. For about a year I was receiving a envelope about every day or too. In all I recieved 211 responses, 180 with sayings and quotes with auto's and added photo's and letters either by the player's or there family members(some were deceased). The majority of the players and there families were so nice. My initial Goal was to collect as many Brooklyn player as possible currently have around 600 index cards/paper cut/ checks of Brooklyn players. I have a long way to go in my collection at only 41 years old. Always on the hunt for a autograph on anything.
