While deployed to Afghanistan in 2004 a friend sent me some packs of 2004 Topps Fan Favorites. So without much else to do besides 12 hour work shifts, I decided to try to get this set signed, writing the players for autograph requests. When sending out each request I put my home address on the envelope (not my deployed address for fear of signed cards getting lost). To my surprise I received a letter at my deployed location from Mr. Berger on Topps letterhead. He wished me luck on my task and mentioned. Pretty cool success!
BTW, still working on this set. I have 110 out of 149 cards signed.
