Probably my last two for a couple of weeks now that Canada Posts will probably go on strike Saturday!!!

Love seeing the updates. Has any player sent the card back unsigned?

[mantleman]

Hi,

I have had a few returned unsigned. Normally they come back asking for anything from $1 (Sid Bream) to $20 (Bill Buckner). Rick Reuschel just returned one unsigned with no apparent reason. My success rate is around 80% out of the roughly 100 I have sent out. That includes a few wildcards that I have sent out to like Ricky Wright, Mark Mcgwire, and Roger Clemens who I don't expect a response from.

It's a bit of a pain in the butt because I have to send an SASE from Canada so I need to buy USA stamps all the time. Not normally a big deal but the exchange rate sucks and I am at the whim of both USPS and Canada Post!!!

My biggest concern is that approximately 20% of the signers do not put the cards back in the top loader or cardsaver when they ship them back so they are sometimes prone to damage.

Awesome, glad your success rate is so high! Seems silly that Bream would send a card back for $1, but one never knows.
