In 1983 I saw an ad in SCD for Jack Smallings address list. I bought it thinking I would try a few players and see if it worked.
I sent for Mickey Mantle, Pete Rose, and Ted Williams. After a couple of months of waiting, I gave up. Then about 6 months after I mailed them, my Dad brings me some mail for me. Ted Williams had signed my card! Wow! I was one excited 14 year old. I then spent a couple of summers writing to HOF'ers and got players like Mays, Aaron, Joe D. , HUbbell, Roush just about all the living HOF'ers. Never did get Mantle or Rose back. As far as Mays, I probably sent to him 10 times back then and he always signed. I know his reputation but he was always nice to this 14 year old kid.
