Al Spangler

Today I received a return from Al Spangler, who signed his 1966, 1968 and 1969 Topps nicely in blue sharpie.

Ben Oglivie and Ken Suarez Returns

Today I received returns form Ben Oglivie and Ken Suarez, who each signed four cards for me in black sharpie.

Ben Oglivie signed his 1973, 1978, 1985 and 1987 Topps.

And Ken Suarez signed his 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1974 Topps.

Lew Krausse and Fred Valentine

I came home from the weekend to find two returns in the mailbox.

Lew Krausse signed his 1966, 1968 and 1973 Topps.

Fred Valentine signed his 1966, 1967 and 1968 Topps, and also included a signed postcard-sized Orioles photo and stat card.

I've sent out 101 requests so far this year.  That's the most for me since 2015, and I'll most likely pass that year's total of 113.  In 2014, I sent out 200, so I won't beat that.

Ken "Hawk" Harrelson Return

Just one return today.  Ken "Hawk" Harrelson signed his 1964 and 1971 Topps for me and added his nickname as an inscription.  He didn't return the 1970 Topps I (think) I had included.

Dave Wickersham Return

Yesterday I received three cards back from Dave Wickersham, who signed them and added a bible verse to each.

He signed his 1962, 1966 and 1967 Topps.

Craig, Jeltz and McNertney - TTM and a Purchase

Today I received two ttm returns and one purchase.

First, I purchased a couple Steve Jeltz signed cards from Tom Orr at Atommic Sports, including his 1985 Topps Traded and 1987 Topps cards.

I also received a return from Roger Craig, who signed his 1987 Topps manager card.  I enclosed $5 with my request.

Finally, Jerry McNertney signed his 1964, 1968 and 1970 Topps for me.  I'll send the 64 off to McCabe now.

Merv Rettenmund and Bob Saverine Returns

Two returns today:

Merv Rettenmund signed his 1969 Topps rookie card, as well as his 1970, 1974 and 1975 Topps mini.  I'll send the 69 off to Mike Adamson as soon as I get his 1971 card that I just bough on Ebay.

Bob Saverine signed his 1964, 1967 and 1968 Topps for me, and also answered a question I had asked in my letter.
