OT: A Touching Story About Requesting Autographs By Mail
Posted By: Rhys
I bet I sent over a thousand requests like that from about 1989-1992 for autographs through the mail. I would save my allowance for stamps and spent hours plotting who I was going to mail cards to. Everyday when I came home from school it was exciting to see if I got any responses. The Hockey players almost all responded with the lone exception of Brett Hull. I received Gretzky, Lemieux etc. The basketball players were the worst, and I only received Michael Jordan (of all people) through the mail and the other 20-30 I mailed items to never responded. Baseball was hit or miss but I still remember the excitement of receiving my 1990 Score John Olerud cards back with signatures.
