I love the 1953 Topps and 1957 Topps ventures. Congratulations! I too love both these sets, but haven't had the patience to begin such a feat myself. I know someone else who is doing the 1957 Topps signed set the same way and he has found willingness from the players themselves which is wonderful to know that you can get Lenny Moore through the mail (did he ask you for money?), a great Hall Of Famer like that, but if you try and get any of these kids today who couldn't carry his shoe, you will be shut down.

I should know having contacted former Oklahoma Sooner Quentin Griffin for a friend and he didn't bother to respond to me and I have no idea where he is playing today. That goes for Delhomme's back up Chris Weinke.

I think when it comes to Bart Starr and/or Paul Hornung, approach carefully.

It eases the pain going to the mail box and brings a bit of a surprise. Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, signed card, Bill.

Nice Hank Thompson in the 1953!
