I received my cards back signed by Russ Nixon two years after he passed away. It seemed the return letter was lost in some papers but his relatives mailed it back to me with the explanation that they found it.

In the 1970’s, being from the Detroit area I sent Charlie Gehringer a letter asking if I could stop by his home and have some items signed. This is what came in the mail. I was able to get some items signed later at card show.

From 1989-1991 all I did was spend my allowance on stamps and send cards to athletes at their home stadiums. I beat the odds and got a Michael Jordan 1989 Fleer Sticker back signed in 1989 and even then at school, that was all anyone could talk about. I can still remember the excitement of seeing my own handwriting in the mailbox, knowing it was cards coming back signed, and opening them to see who was inside. WAY better than opening packs!
