Nolan Ryan Foundation/Johnny Bench Enterprises Experiences

[Scott Garner]

I sent in these two items for Nolan's signature and one with inscription in September and just received them back yesterday:

- Game used dugout lineup card to Nolan's 324th and final career win
- City of Alvin, TX (hometown of Alvin's favorite son Nolan Ryan) Mayoral Proclamation celebrating Nolan Ryan Hall of Fame Day in Alvin on July, 25th, 1999. This coincided with Nolan's actual HOF induction into Cooperstown.

I think they turned out great!

Just to give everybody an update regarding the Nolan Ryan foundation. I have a few collector friends on another board that recently received damaged items back from the foundation. These items were high dollar items. In the past, the ladies at the foundation office in Alvin were accommodating when mistakes were made or items damaged. Unfortunately, the foundation has officially moved to Round Rock and the person in charge has changed. From what I have been told, they are now unresponsive to emails or phone calls and do not take responsibility for sending back damaged items. When I mean damaged items, it was not damaged by the post office, but was clearly damaged by somebody in their office. Please keep this in mind before you send anything of high dollar value to the foundation. Just FYI.

Now this is depressing to hear. Judy always did a great job, I never received anything back damaged.

That's interesting to hear... I sent his RC that was an SGC EX back in September, and I can't remember exactly how bad it was right now, but I knew it wasn't in as good of condition as when I sent it!

I had a ticket stub returned with a bent corner. Somebody on another board had a large print returned with a tear in the back and they tried to put tape over it.

The foundation just added this to their website. I guess they are receiving lots of complaints.

"DISCLAIMER FOR SENDING PERSONAL ITEMS
THE RISK OF ANY AND ALL LOSS, DAMAGE, OR UNSATISFACTORY RETURNED ITEMS RESTS WITH YOU AS THE SENDER.
The Nolan Ryan Foundation will do its best to honor requests but ultimately the decision for size, color and location of signature, stats and hologram rests with Nolan Ryan Foundation. The Foundation will take all actions necessary to ensure personal items are kept safe and returned in the same condition in which they were received but all risk is assumed by the sender of personal items."

I'm glad I got this done a few years ago...
