Since I had duplicates of these cards, I would always offer to send them one back if they wanted (which I think helped with responses too).

Bill,
I appreciate all the effort you go through to get your items autographed. Maybe it's growing up in Maine and not having much access to players, but I never got passionate about getting a lot of my stuff autographed. I prefer to get items signed in person, so spring training is where I get most of my autographs. I also get many of them personalized to me. It seems to help get a little better autograph in these days of scribbles.
