My record is only 1 year. I am then in my late twenties, long after I used to send cards to players for an auto. I write a fan letter to an author I liked to read, who, as a read, usually gave me nice personal thought-provoking enjoyment. A few months later I read his obit in the NY Times. About eight months after that I receive a reply from him. At the bottom,"Paul, I thought you would like to read this". It was a mimeograph or carbon, but his handwritten message and sig would garner an Auth.
